An Australian mother has given birth to a baby boy weighing 5.9 kilograms (just under 13 pounds).
Mum Breanna Sykes thought her baby was going to be big, but even experienced doctors were surprised when Ziad Kadic was born - weighing in at the size of an average three-month-old.

"My waters broke, and I was fully dilated, but the pain was too much, she told Perth Now.
"I was having an anxiety attack so they had to put me under anaesthetic. When I woke up they told me I had a 13.2 pound (5.9kg) baby."
