Last month, Ryan King witnessed his wife Jade give birth to a 15-pound, 7-ounce baby boy at St. Michael's Hospital in Bristol, England. Doctors as well as both parents were shocked by George King's immense size... the not-so-tiny tot was eventually crowned the UK's "second-largest newborn." Baby King struggled to survive after birth... doctors only gave George a 10% chance of survival. But the "big miracle" babe pulled through, and a month later he was allowed to head home for the very first time.

According to BBC, the Kings welcomed "King" George about 6 weeks ago... and for pretty obvious reasons, the delivery wasn't an easy one.

"When his head came out that's when they realized how big he was. And then his shoulders got stuck, and that's when everything kicked off, really," Jade explains. "There were about 20 doctors in the room. That's when it got really scary."

When mega-baby George got stuck, he was deprived of oxygen for a full five minutes - he wasn't even expected to survive. But thanks to the help of doctors, George pulled through and was eventually handed down a clean bill of health. The Kings took their big boy home about a month later.

"He didn't fit into any of his newborn clothes. He's gone straight into 3-6 month clothes," Jade muses.

Doctors have since checked in on George and he doesn't appear to have any major health problems. According to Jade, it's possible that George will struggle with learning new things in the future. But most importantly the Kings are happy that their little (er, big) miracle is now home safe and healthy!
