George King, was born six weeks ago weighing in at 15 pounds, 7 ounces to shocked parents Jade and Ryan King.

BBC reported that baby George twice the size of a normal baby and couldn't fit any of the baby clothes that his parents purchased for him. The newborn was born in the United Kingdom and is the second biggest newborn ever born naturally in the U.K.

Baby George was born completely naturally, which is extremely unusual for a baby of his size. Usually an emergency C-section would be performed due to the likely difficulties involved in a natural delivery of such a large baby.

When labor was induced, Jade king said the doctors realized how massive her baby was when his head began to crown. Mid-way through the delivery, after baby George's head had popped out, he got stuck due to his shoulders.

"And that's when sort of everything kicked off really. There were about 20 odd doctors in the room, and that's when it got really scary," said the new mother.

Due to his massive size and struggle through labor, doctors gave the baby a 10 percent chance of survival since he had lost oxygen for a full 5 minutes.

However, he was eventually delivered successfully and was transferred to another hospital for specialist care. After an MRI scan, the baby was declared healthy and allowed home more than four weeks after his birth as he recovered from his ordeal.

Now that baby George has been home for about two weeks, he has gained another pound and completely skipped newborn clothing and has been wearing 4 to 6 months clothing instead.

Jade King said she's putting off having another baby for a while.

"He's a little miracle. Well, a big miracle, really," she said.
