Jessica Drake, a first-time pregnant uk mother, gave birth to a baby girl at Hull Women's and Children's Hospital last month, weighing 11 pounds when she was two weeks old.
Jessica Drake, 23, from Hulsutton, England, and daughter Lily-Grace, was the oldest baby born last month at Hull Women's and Children's Hospital. She was also the only baby born that month that weighed more than 10 pounds, weighing 10 pounds and 10 ounces (about 4.8 kilograms).
According to media reports, Miss Drake gave birth naturally in the water as planned, giving birth to Lily without any pain relief. The new mom didn't know she was pregnant, and Lily was two weeks premature, with a due date of October 17, but was born on October 5. Only one thing in the maternity kit prepared by the hospital was lily that lily could use, and the other items were too small.
Lily-Grace is now six weeks old, she wears the clothes of a 3-6 month old baby, and she also likes to "binge drink" milk, drinking about 7 ounces (about 200ml) at a time. Miss Drake said Llily looked bigger than a three-month-old baby at the weighing clinic.
While Lily-Grace's birth weight was surprising, the largest baby ever weighed more than twice as much.
