Pamela Mann couldn’t understand why everyone in the delivery room was in shock after she delivered her baby girl. In fact, she thought something was wrong. Turns out, the medical staff were in awe of her daughter’s size.
The first-time-mum, from Alabama, delivered her first baby, Paris Halo, via c-section and was confused when the doctor and nurses seemed a little fazed.

“The doctor pulls her out of me and all the nurses are like, ‘Oh God!’ ‘Wow!’” the 31-year-old told TODAY.com. “Then I started freaking out because I had no idea what was happening.”
Baby Paris weighed in at 13 pounds 4 ounces, or 6.01kg. And being her first baby, Pamela had no idea that her little girl was almost double the weight of an average newborn.
“I thought 13 pounds was normal. This is my first child, so I had no idea. And the nurses are going, ‘No. No. No. She is big.'”

Incredibly, doctors had been keeping an eye on the baby’s weight, but didn’t think she would be so much heavier than an average newborn.
“About a month ago I had a sonogram and the baby was estimated to be 10 pounds,” Pamela told Rick Karle. “My doctor figured it couldn’t be that big- he said it was probably 2 pounds less than that.”

Paris is spending some time in the NICU, but is expected to be home very soon.
