A MUM who had a home birth has revealed her husband’s hilarious reaction when they discovered how much their baby weighed.
Rachael Vance shared a video of the cute moment her husband found out how heavy their little boy had arrived into the world.
In a post on TikTok, the American woman – who gave birth naturally without any medication – explained how she had been a week overdue and was already fearing that she would be delivering a large baby.
However, the mum wrote: “And he was big…but you didn’t realise how big.”
An image of her with a baby bump, and another picture moments after she gave birth, were followed by a video showing her other half weighing their newborn in a bag with the help of a midwife.
Her husband sheepishly smiled as he was told his son weighed 11lbs, while others in the room audibly gasped.
And he was big…but you didn’t realise how big…
