Subject: Mother has 'giant' baby
Written By: Philip Eno on 09/27/07 at 8:27 am
A Russian woman has given birth to a baby weighing 7.75kg (17.5lbs), more than twice the average newborn weight.
The "little" girl, Nadia, was delivered by Caesarean section at a hospital in the Altai region of Siberia, joining eight sisters and three brothers.
"We were all simply in shock," reports quoted Nadia's mother, Tatyana Barabanova, 43, as saying.
"What did the father say? He couldn't say a thing - he just stood there blinking," she said.

Impressive stuff, but it still doesn't beat the record (and as the new edition of the Guinness Book is due soon, what a sweet tie-in!)
That honour goes to an Italian woman who gave birth to a boy in 1955, weighing in at a scale-busting 10.2kilos, or 22lb 8oz in old money! :o

That was my first thought when I read this thread.
I once knew a woman-tiny thing. I think she was smaller than I am. I don't know how big her baby was when he was born but I knew she had trouble picking him up by the age of 6 months. Yeah, her husband was a BIG guy and all her sons (she had 2 others) we also big babies. Poor woman.
