A 19-year-old lady named Nandini, has given
birth to the world's biggest baby, weighing a
staggering 15lbs. The baby girl was born
through Caesarean section at a government-run
hospital in India. She tipped the scales at twice
the size of an average baby, which typically
weigh about 7lb 5oz and weighs the same as an
average six-month-old.
Reacting to the birth, Dr Poornima Manu, the
gynaecologist who delivered the baby said: 'She
came as a big surprise for all of us. The surgery
took place for nearly half an hour and it was
free of any risk. She is really big and beautiful.
She does not have any health issues like
irregular sugar levels or thyroid and is breathing
well. We were initially concerned about her sugar
levels but that is normal.' However, she is being
kept at the neonatal intensive care unit and
doctors are monitoring her developments before
they discharge her.
Her birth overtakes the current record holder,
Carisa Rusack, who was born weighing 14lb 5oz in Massachusetts in 2014
