OUCH! We bet this one hurt. British doc­tors who deliv­ered a baby via water birth said the 12-pound, 6-ounce girl set a record for the hos­pi­tal. Doc­tors at North Man­ches­ter Gen­eral said Bethany Jane Turner is the country’s third-largest baby girl to be deliv­ered via nat­ural birth and the largest ever born at the hos­pi­tal. She was deliv­ered at mid­night May 11th after about 3 1/2 hours of labor. Par­ents Naomi Turner, 33, and hus­band Gavin, 32, said they had two pre­vi­ous chil­dren born weigh­ing 8-pounds, 10-ounces and 8-pounds, 9-ounces. Doc­tors said the aver­age weight for a new­born girl is 7-pounds, 4-ounces.
