Woman Gives Birth to 19.2 Pound Baby
My gosh, this baby is a GIANT! He is so absolutely adorable! I am glad to hear that despite the complications, he is doing fine.
QUOTE A woman in Indonesia has given birth to the country's biggest ever baby - tipping the scales at a whopping 19.2 pounds.
The 24.4-inch baby boy, who has not yet been given a name, was born by Caesarean section at a hospital in North Sumatra province.
A gynecologist who took part in the operation said the "special delivery" was no easy feat.
"This heavy baby made the surgery really tough, especially the process of taking him out of his (mother's) womb. His legs were so big," Binsar Sitanggang said.
The boy's huge size was most likely the result of his 41-year-old mother having diabetes, Sitanggang said.
When a diabetic mother's glucose level is high during pregnancy, the baby can receive too much glucose and grow too large, gynecologists say.
The boy's mother had to be rushed to hospital because of complications with the pregnancy...

He's a giant! I could only imagine what it might be like to try and bottle feed a baby that size. I wonder if he just got very large in the womb or if he may have that disease that causes people to get very large. We might be seeing the next tallest man of the world.
