Tiny Tia Walters struggled to get about and was in constant pain as her belly grew in pregnancy.

But she found out why when her baby boy, Roman, was delivered — he clocked in at 10lb 8oz, the size of a three-month-old infant.

Tia, 19, said: “People kept asking if I was having twins because I was that huge.

“When I saw him I couldn’t believe how big he was.

“He was so long. He may be a big baby but I wouldn’t swap him for the world.”

Tia, who runs a beauty and accessories business, found out she was pregnant in February last year and it was not long before her stomach ballooned.

She said: “It was so hard to walk around and do anything without being in pain.

“I just didn’t know why I was so big. I had no idea it was because my little boy was so big. People kept asking me, ‘Are you sure it is not twins?’.

“I am quite small so I’m amazed I managed to cope through pregnancy.”

In October, Tia was taken to St Richards Hospital, Chichester, West Sussex, when her waters broke.

But after struggling to push out her not-so-little one for half-an-hour, she was taken for an emergency C-section.

Despite the complications, Roman, arrived safely — even though he was 3lb heavier than the average baby boy and about the same weight as a medium bowling ball.

More than four months later, Roman now weighs a stone.

And Tia, from Littlehampton, West Sussex, and partner, refrigeration engineer Alfie Tomlinson, 26, could not be more happy with him.

She said: “He’s almost the same size as his large elephant cuddly toy. I think he is going to be tall because of how long he was.

“But he’s such a happy baby. It may have been a traumatic birth but it was all worth it for him.”
