Mother gives birth to giant baby weighing more than a stone

As a seasoned mother of two, Amanda Ellerton wasn't going to make a big deal about delivery number three. But in the end she didn't really have a choice.
After a six-hour struggle and with the help of four midwives, her son Shaune made his entry into the world weighing an astonishing 14lb 7oz, almost twice the birth weight of the average baby. There were gasps around the delivery room as medical staff and father Robert Nicholson looked the chunky chap up and down.
And there were more gasps when he was placed on the weighing scales.
"I couldn't understand why he wasn't coming easily," said Miss Ellerton, who gave birth naturally with only gas and air to help her.
"Once his head appeared I could see the surprise on everyone's faces. It was very painful but it was all worth it for our big bundle of joy."
Shaune is still less than a week old and is already the size of a six-month-old. He is two-feet long and, in the age-old unit of baby weight, the equivalent of seven bags of sugar.
Miss Ellerton, 24, whose other children Alex John, four, and Amy Louise, two, weighed around 8lbs each, said nothing had prepared her for the size of the task.
