Wow, you better believe it. An Indonesian woman has given birth to a 19.2 pounds (8.7-kilogram) baby boy, the heaviest newborn baby ever recorded in history, a doctor reported on Wednesday.
The still unnamed baby is 24.4 inches (62 centimeter) long, was born using a caesarean section on Monday at a public hospital in the North Sumatra province, a gynaecologist who took part in the operation told AFP.
“This heavy baby made the surgery really tough, especially the process of taking him out of his mum’s womb. His legs were so big,” doctor Binsar Sitanggang said. “He’s got strong appetite, every minute, it’s almost non-stop feeding. This baby boy is extraordinary, the way he’s crying is not like a usual baby. It’s really loud.” he said.
