Imagine giving birth to an 18-inch baby.That would be hard enough for the average-sized female, but for Stacey Herald, who is 2-feet, 4-inches tall, it was an amazing task.
The Guinness Book of World Records is investigating Herald’s claim that she is the smallest woman to ever give birth to such a large baby, it is being reported by WLWT Channel 5.
Herald, 33, was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disorder that causes bones to break easily.
She gave birth five weeks ago to baby Makaia, who is unaffected by the disorder and will grow to an average size. However, Herald’s 16-month-old daughter, Katira, also suffers from the disorder.

Got something to say?
Since when is 18 inches “such a large baby”? Granted, it’s pretty big for a 28 inch Mama, but to say that it would be “hard enough for the average-sized female” is a little odd.
