New York Hospital Delivers Its Biggest Baby on Record as Parents Say They ‘Didn’t Expect This’


On Jan. 31, the maternity unit at Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca, New York, experienced a day no one will forget.


Within hours, doctors and nurses delivered two babies on completely opposite ends of the size spectrum — one weighing a record-breaking 13 pounds, and the other just 4 pounds.



Terrica and Shawn welcomed their son, Shawn Jr., who tipped the scales at an astonishing 13 lbs., making him the largest baby ever born at the hospital. Though they expected he would be bigger than average, his size still shocked them.


“We knew he’d be bigger, but we didn’t expect this,” Terrica shared in a statement. “He’s already wearing three to six-month diapers and clothes. It feels like I skipped straight to having a 3-month-old.”


Just hours later, Chloe and Victor welcomed their baby, who weighed only 4 lbs. The contrast between the two newborns made the moment even more special for everyone involved.


“It was really charming and such a good reminder that babies come in all shapes and sizes,” Chloe said. “I’m feeling great and so thankful for the care we received from the doctors, nurses, and midwives.”


Hospital officials said the two births highlight how every baby and every birth story is unique. Whether 4 pounds or 13, both families received the same dedicated care — and left with unforgettable memories of a remarkable day.
