A woman in the United States has given birth to a boy weighing 13lb 13oz - without the aid of surgery.

Asher Stewardson was born on Thursday at Mercy Medical Centre in Des Moines, Iowa, measuring 23.5in long. Fifteen months ago, his brother Judah arrived weighing 12lb 1oz at birth.

Mercy officials say only a tenth of 1% of all newborns weigh more than 11lb at birth.
