Woman Gives Birth to 19.2 lb Baby

Most of you have probably heard by now of the Indonesian woman who gave birth to a 19.2 lb baby.  For those of you out there who are more familiar with kilograms, that’s 8.7 kg!  My daughter was 9 lbs and 4 oz at birth which I thought was quite a bit, but not anymore.  I’ve heard of newborns 10-13 lbs at birth, but I never imagined a human was capable of giving birth to a baby bigger than that.

I’m just really surprised that this woman didn’t have the baby earlier especially since she had diabetes.  I suspect she would’ve had the baby quite a bit earlier if she was living in Canada.  Most doctors here probably would’ve been freaking out if they saw a pregnant woman that big.
