Baby Born 15 Pounds, 7 Ounces in UK [PHOTOS & VIDEO] - The newborn was born in the United Kingdom, and is the second biggest newborn ever born naturally in the U.K.

George King was born six weeks ago to his parents Jade and Ryan. The naturally delivered mega-baby was a big surprise: Mom and Dad were born normal-sized. It was a nerve-wracking delivery: George's head popped out and then got stuck, leaving him oxygen-deprived for a full five minutes, with docs giving him only a 10 percent chance of survival.

Parents said no-one knew he would be so big his parents said it was a struggle to deliver him.

Mom, Jade, has described that "that's when things got scary," as about 20 medical staff ended up in the room working on freeing the baby.

However, he was eventually delivered successfully and was transferred to St Michael's Hospital in Bristol for specialist care. He was only allowed home more than four weeks after his birth as he recovered from his ordeal.

He is now going for regular check ups but that everything looks positive.
