A MOTHER who was forced to have a caesarean section during her painful birth was “shell shocked” after waking to find out she had delivered a little boy who weighs almost 6 kilograms.

    Breanna Sykes, from Carramar, in Perth, welcomed her 5.9-kilogram son Ziad Kadic into the world at 7:15 p.m. Saturday.

    Doctors from all over Joondalup Health Campus, where Ziad was delivered by caesarean section, flocked to see the not so little miracle, who is one of the heaviest babies ever delivered in Western Australia, according to Perth Now.

    “One of the doctors said to me he’s the biggest baby he has seen in his 15 years as a doctor,” Sykes said.

    While Ziad’s weight is pushing 6 kilograms, the average weight of a newborn baby is just over 3 kilograms, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. But doctors have assured Sykes that the “chunky” newborn, who is around the size of a 3-month-old, is “perfectly healthy” and have put his exceptional size down to genetics, Perth Now reported.

    “They have done all these tests and all the blood work, he’s perfectly healthy,” Sykes said.

    “He’s just so chunky, beautiful, very chubby, cuddly and sleepy,” the proud mother added.

    Sykes had not planned to have a C-section but doctors — who initially estimated Ziad’s weight to be just over 4 kilograms — decided to put her under anaesthetic after the pain she was experiencing caused her to have an anxiety attack.” (SD-Agencies)
