Mum assumed to be pregnant with twins gave birth to a “Hercules” baby twice the size of the average newborn.

Nicolina Newcome delivered 13lb 7oz (6.1kg) Tobias without an epidural.

As well as tipping the scales at just under twice the average 7lb 6oz (3kg) newborn, the New Zealander weighed the same as an 11 week old baby.

Annika Reid, Nicolina’s midwife at Waikato Hospital in Hamilton, told the Waikato Times : “He’s a Hercules baby.

“I don’t think that I’ll (deliver) another baby that size the normal way in my career… it’s pretty unreal.”

The midwife also expressed amazement that Tobias was born without a caesarean section.

The new mum tested negative for diabetes leaving doctors stumped as to why Tobias is so big.

WOW! What a gorgeous big bubba!

Can you top Baby Hercules?

  • My grandmother had a couple of babies over 13lbs. She only had one that was ‘average’ at 8lbs. She said the small one was the hardest and that the big ones basically just crawl out on their own.

  • Both my kids are about 3 1/2 kilos however they came along weeks before my due dates. With my son if they said I went full term he would have been about 5 kilos.
