A woman in Florida gave birth to baby that weighs 14 pounds, and the hospital that handled the birth claims the boy is one of the heaviest babies ever born in the state.
Maxxandra Ford, 26, gave birth to the boy weighing 14.1 pounds Friday morning at St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital in Tampa Bay, the hospital said in a statement.
Ford didn’t know she was pregnant until her third trimester when she visited the hospital last fall because she was quickly gaining weight, the hospital said. She discovered she was 35 weeks along.
She also thought she might be having twins, but she ended up having just one son.

The baby, named Avery, is the heaviest born at St. Joseph’s. The hospital also said the baby was one of the largest ever born in Florida.
Ford is a team member at the hospital, and also has a 1-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter.
How does a woman go almost 9-months without without knowing she is pregnant? Is this even possible? No period for 9-months?
It has happened before many times
Anon, ah woman can still have her period and still br pregnant and not know it..Oprah did ah segment on it many years ago…ooman ah use toilet ah baby drop out in deh..
I will have to go back and read up on some elementary biology. But I thought when I woman is pregnant, doesn’t the womb become sealed and hence no period. If she still sees her period, doesn’t that open her up to possible infection, etc.?
The only people I’ve heard of who are unaware of their pregnancy are teenage mothers, not an adult who has given birth before. I guess the baby did not move/kick inside her for all that time?
Anon, mi nuh know how dat guh, but it is very possible and like Metty said, happens all the time…

I hear u @genuine but if this woman was watching her weight she wouldn’t be walking around with a 14lbs baby inside of her for 9 months n not know ijs
That is so far from the truth. You know nothing about science and how the body works. To allude that her weight disguised her pregnancy is ludicrous. Many women, even those who are extremely skinny have been pregnant without knowing. Just an F.Y.I. your belly doesn’t have to show that you’re pregnant!
Bwaay mi deh yah a wandah how she guh natural wid dah 14 plus pound tru har VJJ, it nuh normal no sah…lol

@ anonymous 915pm u know wa puzzle me if she didn’t have a regular monthly menstruation, how old is she, cause if mi no c mine mi a find out wa a gwan mi couldn’t miss mine so long and no find my gynecologist no sa.
She has a baby that is a year old so she got pregnant pretty quickly after that maybe thats why she never thought about that. They said she went to the hospital because she was gaining weight quickly
I thank you met for touching on the fact that is weight gain mek har go doctor because calling the woman a 300 lb was mean. I watch on TLC so many stories of women being pregnant and not knowing until delivery skinny and fat all one who delivered twins.
Not really. Once your body starts producing the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), your periods will stop.
However, you may have what looks like a period (breakthrough bleeding) at about the time that your period would have been due. Though experts aren’t sure why this happens, it may be due to the hormones that control your menstrual cycle breaking through the pregnancy hormones that are flooding your body. This type of bleeding in early pregnancy is surprisingly common.
