The nurses "collectively gasped" when this record-setting baby was born to a mother of four. Plus, 13 fiber-rich foods to eat instead of taking a fiber supplement, and the No. 1 sign you're properly holding a stretch too long.
Tennessee mom Shelby Martin was experiencing pains she had never felt before when pregnant with her fourth child, and it was for a good reason. Her son, Cassian, was born weighing 12 pounds, 14 ounces, making him one of the largest newborns ever delivered at Tristar Centennial Women's Hospital in Nashville. "As soon as they pulled him out, everyone in the operating room collectively gasped," she tells TODAY.com. "They were absolutely shocked at his size." See the photos.

Dietitians shared 13 foods you can eat instead of taking a fiber supplement, from broccoli to apples.
