A Brazilian mother gives birth to a giant baby who is 2 feet long and weighs 7.3 kg
Brazilian mother Clédian Santos dos Santos gave birth to her baby boy, Angerson Santos, who weighs 7.3 kg and is 59 cm (about 2 ft) long, in a caesarean section at Padre Colombo Hospital, Amazonas State.
Santos was in the hospital for a routine consultation, but doctors realized the fetus was too big for her pregnancy, as reported in Golf to Day.
Doctors said the mother and baby are healthy and that Anderson, who is being kept in an incubator, is in stable condition and is the heaviest baby born in the Amazonas.
The child set a new record in the state, as a giant baby was recorded in 2011 weighing 5.8 kilograms.
The normal birth weight for babies ranges from 2.5 to 4 kilograms.
And Ingerson did not reach the record set by the child, Ademilton, who was born in 2005, weighing 8 kg, with a difference of 700 grams. He was born by caesarean section in Salvador, northeastern Brazil.
Doctors said his size was likely related to his mother's diabetic condition.
Anna Bates, the tallest woman in the world, gave birth to the largest documented newborn in history in Italy in 1955, who weighed 10.6 kilograms at birth, was 71 centimeters long, lived only 11 hours, and then died.
