Is this the biggest baby bump ever? Woman
had 55-inch tummy

It hasn't been confirmed but there's currently no
woman on record in the UK who has had a 55-inch
baby bump. 29 year Lara Carpenter-Beck, gained so
much weight as her pregnancy progressed that she
couldn't even fit into normal maternity wear.
The first time mum gained weight at a rapid rate
during her pregnancy because she has diabetes.
"At just 12 weeks people were asking me when I was
due- I was that big. And my bump just kept growing
and growing. It was my first pregnancy and so I had
no idea what to expect- but I knew it wasn't normal
to grow at the rate I was- especially with just one
baby." She explained. Continue...
At 32 weeks a nurse informed Lara her baby already
weighed 6lbs- the size of some full-term babies.
Just four weeks later, Lara was rushed in for a
caesarean after her waters broke unexpectedly.
Lara and her partner welcomed baby Savannah into
the world, who was born weighing a hefty 9lbs 5oz
"Chris and I always assumed we were having a boy
because my bump was so big, so it was a massive
surprise to find out we had a girl. She was a big baby
and filled the weighing scales.
"We were so happy she was healthy though, we could
cope with the fact she was a bit bigger than most
newborns." Lara said
