Is this the world's biggest baby?

I *think* I once read of a baby born at 16lbs & change. It's been a long time since I read the article, I could be remembering wrong. My 3 were all in the 6lb range, and not one of them weighed 14lbs until well after 6 months. I'm a student midwife, and I have heard a couple women say that their bigger baby's birth were easier than their smaller baby. Now in those cases we are talking about having say a 7 pounder & a 9 or 10 pounder; not 14 lbs! But from their perspective the bigger baby engaged better, gravity had more to work with and the substance of the baby just made it easier to push.

god bless that woman,i only had 3 babies and my first was 6 pounds,my twins were 5 pounds 1 oz and 5 pounds 11.i had c-sections though so i could just imagine had this lady felt.god bless.

Wow! ...and I agree: ouch!!! My mom's youngest brother was either nearly 11 lbs. or a little over at birth. Until today, Andy was the biggest baby I ever heard of, and he took my grandmother's womb with him when he came out. That poor woman! I'm glad the baby is healthy & I hope mom heals quickly.

So THAT was what those screams were, and I live in Kentucky!! :o0 That one baby almost tripled my girls, I had 5 pound babies. I tell you now if I gave birth to a child that size, it would be an only child.

ughhhh hearing things like this i'm glad that i won't have the "having babies" problem in my life lmao. god, hurts just thinking about it!!

Ouch! I'm hurting for her. Both of my boys weighed eight and a half pounds and my daughter weighed in at a half an ounce under seven pounds at three weeks early. I CANNOT imagine having a 14 pound baby naturally, I can't even imagine carrying one that big! More power to her, I agree with Sunshine, I'd be calling it quits!

My grandfather was 14lb at birth, my husband was over 12lb. Big babies are very common on both sides of my family, I was the smallest baby we have ever had at 8lb 10, everyone thought there was something wrong with me as I was so small compared to the rest of our family! I'm always a bit surprised bow samll othe peoples babies seem to be these days.

That is a big baby. How did she carry that baby for nine months? My brother and I were normal. I was more than 7 pounds and my brother was more than 6 pounds. We were both healthy and normal. My mother has a normal birth as well for the record.

Me too, I say AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH rather than ouch. Can't imagine the pain she must have gone through and can only hope that she had an epidural, not sure if this comes under the heading of natural though. My baby was 9 pounds at birth and that was painful enough! Gas and air does not do anything for pain in childbirth in my experience and there was no other pain relief available. Well done to this lady.

OMG! That must be the biggest baby ever! I say get that woman some pain meds! She deserves them and more!

I think it was last year there was a baby born in South America somewhere - the baby was huge but I don't remember how big. ANything bigger then 10 lbs- makes me cringe and shutter at the thought!!! according to Ripley's: Largest Baby Born THE QUESTION: How heavy was the worlds heaviest baby? THEANSWER: Meet Anna Haining Swan, 2.27 m (7 ft 5 and a half in) at the peak of her physical stature. She reportedly weighed 8.1 kg (18 pounds) when she was born and was 69 cm (27 inches) long however, it is not her but her child that holds the record for largest baby born. He was the largest newborn ever recorded, at 10.6 kg, or 22 pounds and 28 inches (71 centimeters) tall and each of his feet was six inches long.They put a strong bandage around the baby’s neck to assist with the delivery. The baby was born on 19 January, but he survived only 2 hours. (HOLY COW) here is the link....http://www.ripleys.com/core/answers/?p=386#respond

I think I would die!!!! LOL! I can't even imagine giving birth to a child that big! My son was almost 10 lbs and they knew he was a big baby so we planned a csection. I would never try this one, though! I don't think I have ever heard of a baby that big, I might have to go look in the Guiness Book of World Records to see what the biggest baby is. I wish her luck!

my mother was 42 when she had me, i was 12lb .6oz 3 weeks premature and a breach birth i would hate to see how big i would have grown if i had gone full term.

The discussion You have put forward has really surprised me. Congratulations to the proud mother. My child was 4.5 pounds when born. I wonder what pain must have the mother undergone in this case.
