Woman gives birth to 17 pound baby
Baby Nadia - a whopping big bundle of joy at 17 pounds.
A Russian woman gave birth to a whopping baby girl who weighed in at an amazing 17.1lb or 7.7kg - around two and a half times the weight of an average newborn.
baby Nadia was delivered by Caesarean section in the local maternity hospital in Russia's Altai region.
43-year-old Tatyana Barabanova's twelfth child, she joins eight sisters and three brothers, all of whom weighed in at more than 11lbs.
Her surprised mother said: "We were all simply in shock. What did the father say? He couldn't say a thing - he just stood there blinking."
She is not sure what was behind Nadia's extraordinary size, but revealed that she ate everything during the pregnancy. Not having the money for special foods, Nadia's mother ate potatoes, noodles and tomatoes.
Baby Nadia is bigger than Mexican baby Antonio Vasconcelos who weighed into the world at at 14.5lbs in February. Known as "Super Tonio" and born by Caesarean section as well, he measured an enormous 22 inches in length.
In Brazil another Antonio was born in Salvador in January 2005, weighing a whopping 16lbs 11ozs, when proud 23-year-old mother Teresa Alejandra Cruz gave birth.
The heaviest baby born to a healthy mother was a boy weighing 22lbs 8ozs, in Aversa, Italy, in September 1955 - according to the Guinness World Records.
