Pittsburgh Mom Delivers 13 Pound, 10 Ounce Healthy Baby Boy [VIDEO]
A beautiful baby boy was born at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh which happens on any given day, however, this baby weighed in at 13 pounds, 10 ounces, CBS Pittsburgh reports.
Isaac Hall was born to Brad and Michelle Hall at West Penn Hospital, and longtime nurses there say he is the biggest baby born there since the early 80s.
New parents Michelle and Brad Hall say friends wondered if she was about to have twins, but it was just one big baby.
"His length is 25 inches long," Michelle says, according to WFMY News.
Dr. Andrew Sword says that in his 30 years of clinical practice, "We have never seen a baby of this size. And when I polled all the pediatricians from this hospital, some of whom date back to the early 1980s, there's never been a baby on record who's this size."
Most babies of his size are born to mothers who have diabetes. Not so in Isaac's case.
"It's literally a naturally large baby, no other factors that we know of," Dr. Sword said.
His colleague at the Western Pennsylvania OB/GYN Associates, Christine Gallis, delivered Isaac by Cesarean section at 8:38 a.m. Thursday - just in time for Mother's Day on Sunday.
"We knew the baby was going to be very likely to be very large. As large as this? No," Dr. Sword said. "But at the same time, still too large to safely deliver any other way."
