After delivering a kid so large that she practically fractured her tailbone while giving birth to him, a mother demonstrated how back-breaking parenthood can be. On TikTok, a video of her excruciating birth has received 5.7 million views.

“Breaks my tailbone giving delivery,” Sharmin Brunnell, 21, commented in the video, describing her “huge” child.

Amare, her gargantuan pride and pleasure, measured 8.6 inches when he was born, putting him in the “99th percentile” – meaning he is taller than 99 out of 100 infants.

He was also about half the height of his 5-foot-1 mother, who didn’t expect to give birth to such a giant considering her small size, according to the Sun. Brunnell, who gave birth at the age of 19, feels her 6-foot-3 husband is to blame for her massive offspring.

“My 5ft 1in self marrying a 6ft 3in man and thought our height difference is so lovely,” she gushed.

Brunnell shattered her tailbone when giving birth to Amare, which she credits to physicians forcing her to lie on her back while giving birth. According to another tape, she apparently suffered from the injuries for two years, which she characterised as “the greatest agony I’ve ever felt in my life.”
