Chinese university student delivers baby in dorm while studying for final exam
A university student in central China has stunned many after giving birth to a 'giant baby' in her dormitory, with her roommate calmly noting: 'This isn't her first time giving birth,' despite the scene of heavy bleeding. The dramatic incident, which took place at a university in Hubei province, involved a third-year student unexpectedly going into labour in her dorm room. The date of the occurrence and the student's identity have not been disclosed. Reports indicate that the student insisted on staying in her upper bunk bed, despite her advanced pregnancy, as she found it comfortable and wished to remain in school to complete her final exams.

Her roommate was jolted awake by the strong smell of blood, only to discover the student enduring intense pain as she gave birth. The scene was shocking – the cotton quilt beneath her was completely soaked in blood, said the roommate. Emergency services were alerted immediately, and by the time the medical team arrived, the baby had already been delivered. Doctors were taken aback by the significant haemorrhage and the size of the newborn, who weighed a remarkable 4.5kg and was classified as a 'giant' infant.

Oklahoma mom is accused of 'child abuse' for TikTok showing her 22lb four-month-old son
A first-time mother has revealed her four-month-old baby is already a 'giant' who weighs in at 22lb and is 2.5ft-long. Maci Mugele shared a clip of her son Gunner on TikTok last month, with the caption: 'When you have a 100th percentile, off-the-charts four-month-old.' Viewers were astounded at his size, with many loving his 'chunky rolls' and 'cute' features - but others took aim at the 21-year-old and accused her of 'child abuse' over Gunner's weight. Mom Maci said: 'He always measured a week or two ahead [when I was pregnant]. 'I could just tell that he was pretty big and everybody already told me that my stomach was bigger than average. 'You only have two scans throughout your pregnancy so I went to an ultrasound place and paid for [one] to be done to see how big he was. 'They told me that he was measuring quite large for how far along I was. I think I was 34 weeks when he was measuring at 6lb 3oz.' Mega bump: Maci said her son 'always measured a week or two ahead' during her pregnancy and everyone told her that her belly 'was bigger than average' Maci said: 'The doctors said that he's healthy but sometimes people just have big babies. He's big for his height as well so I think that contributes to him being bigger. 'Ever since the second day in the hospital, he has eaten more than the average baby - doctors always told me he was eating a little bit more than the normal baby, which is fine, they said.' Gunner's in the 100th percentile for his weight and the 90th percentile for his height. Maci was surprised by some of the negative reaction she got, and didn't see how it could be cruel to feed a hungry baby. She said: 'It made me upset to realize that there are people like that in this world that feel so comfortable saying these things about a baby. 'That's just so sad to me, and I would never want people to say things about him like that. 'I thought that people would think it was cute if they saw it, but I didn't realize how horrible people can be. I don't know how it's cruel or abusive that I feed him whenever he's hungry. 'I feel like it would be abusive if I didn't feed him when he was hungry and crying. 'Like the doctor said, he's perfectly healthy and has no problem with his weight.' Some TikTokers were quick to criticize Gunner's size in the comments. While others defended him as 'cute' and many predicted it's a good indication that he would be tall when he got older. Not right: It made her upset to see how comfortable people were with their negative comments

Mum accused of ‘child abuse' after showing off ‘giant' 4-month-old baby whose size is ‘off the charts'
A MUM says her 'giant' 22lb baby turns heads in the street - as he's 2.5 feet long and wears clothes for toddlers at only four months old. Maci Mugele shared the clip of her four-month-old baby Gunner Mattheyer on TikTok to the I Like Them Chunky song by last month, when she was hit with backlash about his size. 9 9 A number of users left negative comments on the clip about Gunner's weight and suggested it was 'child abuse' - while others said his 'chunky rolls' are 'cute'. Maci says that her baby is 'healthy' and doctors have reassured her that he's just big for his age. Gunner weighed 8lb 1oz and measured 19.5 inches tall when he was born on February 19 but has since shot up to 22lb 8oz and now measures two and a half feet long. The 21-year-old says that Gunner measured big throughout her pregnancy and continues to 'eat more than the average baby'. The mum-of-one says she never expected it to go viral and rack up more than 20 million views. Maci, from Chandler, Oklahoma, US, said: "He always measured a week or two ahead [when I was pregnant]. "I could just tell that he was pretty big and everybody already told me that my stomach was bigger than average. "You only have two scans throughout your pregnancy so I went to an ultrasound place and paid for an ultrasound to be done to see how big he was. "They told me that he was measuring quite large for how far along I was. "I think I was like 34 weeks when he was measuring at 6lb 3oz.

Some users were quick to criticise Gunner's size in the comments, labelling it 'child abuse'. One user said: "Absolute unit, he has booked in to put my new windows in next week." Another wrote: "This should be child abuse." A third added: "Girl the box your supposed to use is baby formula not mass gainer." 9 9 9 NEW FAN BASE Other social media users defended Gunner's size, calling him 'cute' and many predicted that his size now is simply a good indicator that he will be tall when he gets older. One user wrote: "The amount of people who are calling a BABY fat. He's got the chunk because he's going to be tall. It's kind how it works. "They gain a lot of 'chunk' and shoot up. It's literally how kids grow. Another added: "Chat he is healthy. That is all that matters. "Yes he's a big baby but if you're so bored that a baby bothers you then something is clearly wrong, not with the baby, with you." A third person said: "I love chubby little babies so much! "The chunky little rolls look at his squishy little face! Everyone saying watch out for how much he'll eat as he's older this isn't the best indicator." Another said: "Omg I wasn't ready. Those chubby little rolls. The cuteness aggression is severe right now." What is baby led weaning? Starting your baby on food can be a daunting, scary process. And while mums have depended for years on purees and soft, easy to eat foods for their babies, there's another approach that often causes controversy. Namely baby led weaning (BLW). Instead of spoon-feeding your baby pureed or mashed foods, BLW means offering them "only finger foods and letting them feed themselves from the start", the NHS explained. "You can offer a range of small, finger-sized pieces of food," they added. "Some parents prefer baby-led weaning to spoon feeding, while others combine a bit of both. "There's no right or wrong way – the most important thing is that your baby eats a wide variety of food and gets all the nutrients they need."

Docs said I'd have a ‘big baby' but didn't prepared me for a toddler born two weeks EARLY – he's already in 9-12 months
A MUM left doctors shocked and confused after delivering a giant baby that was almost as big as her toddler. Toni Lincoln, 33, delivered son Brayden by C-section at Broomfield Hospital on January 14, nearly two weeks before her due date. 7 7 The new born, Toni's second child, was so large that doctors said he was the biggest baby ever delivered at the hospital, and the largest one the surgeon had ever seen. Brayden, now six months old, is already in nine to 12-month-old clothing, soon to go into 12-18, and weighs 7.6kg. She said the size difference between him and her first-born, Ellah, nearly three, who weighed 8lbs 8oz, is "crazy" - as the pair are two-and-a-half years apart but almost the same size. Mum-of-two Toni, a cleaner, from Braintree, Essex, who weighed 7lbs 11oz herself as a new born, said: "We made history. "We didn't know he was going to be that big, it was such a shock." Doctors had estimated Brayden would weigh between 8lbs and 9lbs - so Toni and partner Alex, a factory worker, were stunned when he came out at almost 13lbs. She said: "When they gave him to me I was like 'I don't know if it's all the drugs I'm on or if I'm seeing things or is he huge?'. "The doctors were like 'yeah, he's a little bit bigger than we anticipated. Maybe a lot bigger, maybe 12lbs 9oz,' and I said 'sorry? What did you say?'. "I couldn't believe it." Poppy Delevingne posts funny video of her growing baby bump Although the couple had no idea just how big Brayden would be, Toni said she "knew something wasn't quite right." She said: "I couldn't walk at the end of my pregnancy, I couldn't get out of bed and now I know why. "I was carrying around an extra five stone. He was nearly a stone himself and then obviously the placenta and the fluid. "I dropped 30 kilos when he came out. "I felt like a different person." The couple had to buy all new clothes and nappies after Brayden arrived, and gave away everything they'd prepared - as he was so big he completely skipped new born sizing. Toni said: "We had to go out and buy all new clothes for him, nappies, we had nothing. He was literally a new born in 0-3 months clothes. "My partner had to run out to Primark. He went straight into size one nappies and then into two a couple of days later. "I gave all the clothes from friends and family to the hospital for other patients. "I thought I was prepared. We bought 0-1 month and thought we don't need 0-3 but little did I know." Toni was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, but doctors were confused as to the cause of his size. She said: "They said it could be gestational diabetes but my sugars were actually better this time. "My sugars were awful last time with my daughter and she was normal size." Doctors believe Brayden would have grown to 14lbs if he had gone full-term. He had to be pulled out by his hips and was born with talipes, where one foot was bent inward, a result of his position in the womb. "They said if I had a natural birth he would have died because he was upside down," Toni said. Brayden was taken straight to neonatal intensive care, where he spent a week on oxygen due to low blood sugar. Brayden was so big he couldn't be seen clearly on a 36-week scan, and Toni said "every consultant from Broomfield" was in the delivery room for the six-and-a-half hour C-section. "I had to have a very unusual scar," she said. "I've got a vertical scar instead of a horizontal one again, because of my problems last time. It all went a bit wrong so they wanted to be prepared. "The surgeon said it was the biggest scar they had ever done. It comes all the way up to the top of my stomach. It's massive - 32 centimetres." Toni says Brayden is now known as "the big baby" by hospital staff. She said: "The surgeon said he was the biggest baby she has ever delivered herself in 20 years. And the consultant was like 'he just walked out'." Even family didn't believe it at first. Toni said: "When I told my family how big he was they were like 'don't be silly'. "I rang my mum, Sally, 59 and said 'I've got something to tell you'. I showed her and she said 'oh my god!'. "People keep joking he's going to college soon. "When him and my toddler lie down together, they look the same age. "You wouldn't think they were two years and four months apart." Meanwhile, she's not the fist mum shocked by her baby's unusual weight. The mum revealed that her seven-month-old baby son is already half her size. Elsewhere, a woman claims her baby is only four months old, but he's 'giant'. 7 7 7 7 7
