10 Babies That Are So Huge That They Are Almost Unbelievable
Rejoice, smile, dance and celebrate for a new life has come to the family!
Well, that’s how most of us would react on getting the news of a baby being born to
our loved ones.
It is obviously a happy occasion so you wouldn’t consider saying, “Oh what a poor, poor mother”,
would you?
That will change for you when you see these 10 babies!
What is so shocking about them?
Uhmm the average weight of a new born is about 6-10 pounds and most of the babies born are
within this bracket, remember we said MOST not ALL!
So here are 10 babies born, that are WAY beyond the so called ‘normal’ weight!
Number 10.
Mini sumo wrestler When your baby is premature, you generally
expect him to be weak and underweight.
Moses William Hilton was born 11 days early, so not exactly premature, is it?
Anyway the important thing is that Moses weighed 14.4 pounds and was 22 inches long at birth
in 2016, earning him the nickname “mini sumo wrestler”.
He was Gina Hilton’s 3rd child after two daughters who weighed 9 pounds each at birth,
so this was definitely a surprise package for her!
Being one of the heaviest babies ever born at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center in Kansas
had its side effects because Moses did have some issues with blood sugar and was slightly
jaundiced but gradually recovered.
Happy endings!
Number 9.
Unexpected ‘Big’ surprise Lexington Medical Center in South Carolina
was shocked when a woman named Cindy Richmond gave birth to a 14.4-pound baby boy in June
of 2017!
He was the biggest the hospital had ever seen and we aren’t questioning why!
Delivered by a caesarean, OBVIOUSLY, the baby couldn’t fit into any clothes brought by
his parents because he would fit into the size for 3-6 months!
They were expecting a baby around 9 pounds like their previous two kids, but they got
a bigger surprise!
Colin’s dad, Arthur joked that his son should be a football player because of his massive
size!
We like his sense of humor, cool!
Number 8.
30 hamburgers Baby Stephon became the biggest baby born
at William W. Backus Hospital after it was found that he weighed 14 pounds 13 ounces,
equivalent to the weight of 30 hamburgers!
The shocking thing is that his mother Michel was totally unsurprised by the size of her
new born!
As per her, she was exhausted and miserable from carrying him in her womb.
She explains her suffering, “I couldn’t sleep at night.
My 13-year-old son had to help me get in and out bed.”
It was a tough pregnancy for her and that’s probably what gave her the hint that she was
carrying no ordinary baby in her!
An interesting thing is that she had to return all the new born clothes and buy sizes fit
for 6 month olds!
Number 7.
Teen mother’s record Nandini, a 19-year-old woman in India gave
birth to a 15-pound baby girl in May 2016!
This wasn’t the only shock; the baby was long as well with a total length of 24.4-inches.
Wow!
She was born at a government run hospital in Karnataka, India through a cesarean surgery
that lasted 30 minutes.
The mother weighed 207 pounds at the time of the delivery and the doctors were afraid
that it could cause diabetes and harm the baby.
You can all let a sign of relief because both the mom and baby were healthy, happy times!
This is the heaviest baby girl born in India, yippee that’s a record!
Number 6.
A gift after 16 hours of pain Doctors try their best to determine the size
of the baby while in the womb but their guesses aren’t always accurate and that is what
happened with Jade!
When she was pregnant in 2013 doctors had no clue that what she was carrying would be
close enough to become the biggest baby in the United Kingdom.
After 16 hours of labor, Jade gave birth to a 15 pounds 7-ounce baby that too through
a vaginal birth!
The only scary part was when baby George had his shoulders stuck, all thanks to the 20
doctors present in the room that all went well!
He could return to his home only after four-and-a-half weeks.
Healthy and sweet!
Number 5.
16 pounds of love Being twice the size of an average new born
means that you are special, very few babies are so large.
JaMichael Johnson was expected to be large, somewhere around 12-13 pounds but everyone
was shocked when he came out to be a whopping 16 pounds at birth in 2011!
As per Dr. John Kirk, the parents were both large people and Janet even had gestational
diabetes which could be the contributing factors.
An interesting thing is that an average woman’s uterus can handle 16 pounds of baby but the
risks can’t be overlooked.
Baby Johnson faced minor problems with blood sugar due to his size but the doctors could
stabilize it.
We wish him health and happiness!
Number 4.
Heaviest of the year A woman in New Zealand was so big in her ninth
month of pregnancy that she couldn’t bend over.
Yes, this might not sound so weird when you know that we are talking about the biggest
baby of 2017 so far!
It was May of this year when a baby boy was born weighing 16 pounds, 4 ounces with a length
of 22.5 inches!
The baby might be double in size than the average babies but he was born healthy, sigh
of relief!
In fact, the couple’s first child wasn’t lightweight either at 11.8 pounds but 16 pounds
is an entirely a different ball game!
Number 3.
12th and heaviest A Siberian woman named Tatyana Barabanova
was not new to labor because she was giving birth to her 12th!
But something was odd, what was it?
It was the 7th of September in the year 2007 when baby Nadia was born in the Altai region
of Russia.
The 43-year-old mother was speechless when they found out that her ‘little’ baby
weighed a whopping 17.1 pounds!
You heard that right people, 17 pounds – twice that of an average new born baby!
But Nadia’s 8 sisters and 3 brothers were all well above 11 pounds, so we can say that
it runs in the family!
Number 2.
Indonesian power Back in September 2009, an Indonesian woman
named Ani gave birth to a 19.2lb baby boy in Medan, North Sumatra.
Don’t doubt your ears people, he really weighed more than 19 pounds at the time of
birth!
This big boy could easily dwarf other new born babies around him and there isn’t much
reason to doubt that!
He was named Muhammad Akbar Risuddin after the local district chief where 'Akbar' means
'big' in Indonesian.
Named rightly we should say!
His mother was 41-years-old at the time of delivery, not a very young mother!
Guess how he was born.
Yes, through a 40-minute-long caesarean surgery, unsurprisingly!
Number 1.
World record baby How can this list be complete without mentioning
the current Guinness Book of World Records holder?
Weighing at a good 23 pounds, 9 ounces, Babe was definitely a giant.
Uhmmm you won’t be shocked about his size when you know that his mother Anna Bates stood
at 8 feet 3 inches!
Yes, his mother was a giant so we could blame heredity over here but the stranger thing
is that his father was also a giant!
Captain Bates and Anna hold the record for the “tallest married couple ever”, amazing!
But the sad thing was that Babe couldn’t survive more than 11 hours in the world, gigantism
is to be blamed!
Did we forget to mention that this was back in 1879?
