Gorgeous baby Tabitha was more than a fortnight late.
A stunned mum gave birth to a whopping 12lb 9oz baby girl at home more than two weeks past her due date.
"I was joking that we need to start a book on the things people have said when we tell them how much she weighs. My favourite so far has been '12lbs 9oz? Did she come out wearing her school uniform?'" "But in the early hours of Tuesday morning I went into labour naturally myself in the house, so baby obviously decided she didn't want to come out the sunroof, she was ready to go.Partner Eddie set up the living room with a birthing pool and fairy lights, making it "all beautiful" for Tabitha's arrival, with the midwives arriving in the early hours to support Ruth through labour.
"Having those women there alongside me and Eddie, who we already knew and trusted, just made everything so much easier.
