15lb baby?!!!

Holy cow... Just watching the evening news and a women in England gave birth vaginally to a 15lb baby boy!? Ouch!! I would just like to know how exactly that happens. I mean the baby got stuck on the way out and lost oxygen and was only given a ten percent chance to live. Thankfully he's doing we'll but all I can say is wow! Kudos to his mom!
