A MUM has left the internet open-mouthed after revealing the size of her newborn baby.
The US-based mum took to social media to show off her firstborn son, admitting he was a ‘chonky monkey.’
In the clip, the mum first showed what she looked like with her baby bump, and even from the outside, you could tell her baby was going to be giant.
But it was the next image that confirmed just how big her little boy was.
After giving birth, the mum had a picture taken of her son as he was weighed – and he came in at an eye-watering 10lbs 3oz.
Her baby came in at just under a stone, and was considered a 99 percentile baby, meaning he’s in the top 1% of weight for a newborn.
Shockingly, he could have grown even bigger as he was born three weeks earlier than his due date.
The mum revealed that she did give birth with a C-section, which many people joked was the best option.
She also revealed that prior to her son’s birth, she had been trying to conceive for five years so his birth was extra special.
The clip was shared on her TikTok account @lazyoctopuss with over 3.5 million views and 280k likes.
People were quick to take to the comments, many asking the mum how she was doing, while others joked her son was the size of an adult.
One person wrote: “That ain’t no baby that’s a grown man.”
Another commented: “For clarification, this is the size of my THREE MONTH OLD.”
“I’ll be damnedddddd that’s a big baby,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Thank god you gave birth that early. THATS A BIG BABY.”

“He came out with a credit score, mortgage, and NFL career,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “He needs to pay rent.”

Last month, we covered another fab Wowcher deal as shoppers raced to buy a discounted 4.7L air fryer.
A NEW crisp advent calendar has been spotted on shelves and it’s perfect for savoury-toothed shoppers wanting to get in the festive spirit.
Walkers has launched a Snack Advent Calendar, featuring 24 packs of Quavers, Wotsits, Squares and Monster Munch.
Shoppers are racing to Home Bargains for the Christmas buy, where it has been spotted on shelves for £9.99.
But while many are desperate to get their hands on the advent calendar, which is also selling on eBay for £16.99, other shoppers were outraged by the price.
One shopper posted a picture of the advent calendar to the popular New Food Spotter UK Facebook page.
Commenting on the post, another said: “A tenner for 24 bags of crisps!? Are you having a laugh?”
One user pointed out that it would be cheaper to buy regular Walkers multipacks.
They joked: “Think I’ll just buy a couple of multi packs and close my eyes when picking one each day.”
Variety multipacks of Walkers Classic are on sale in several UK supermarkets for less than the advent calendar.
You get 20 packets of crisps per pack, and they’re currently on sale for £4.85 in Tesco and £4.25 in Iceland.
If you bought two multipacks, you would get 40 bags of crisps – almost double the amount in the calendar and for a lower price.
Quirky advent calendars have grown in popularity in recent years.
Retailers including Boots and Sephora are offering beauty advent calendars, with a range of makeup and beauty products.
