Mother gives birth to a baby weighing 13.47 pounds naturally
A baby called Jasleen weighing almost a stone and measuring 22.6 inches long has been born in Germany. Jasleen was born on July 26 and weighed a massive 13.47 pounds at birth. Babies of this size are usually born via a caesarean section but she was born naturally.
The mother gave birth at University Hospital in Leipzig and discovered she had a previously undiagnosed case of gestational diabetes, German newspaper Der Spiegel reports.
This undiagnosed medical condition which normally develops at around the 24th week of pregnancy, can lead to a larger than usual baby size. Although the hospital has confirmed that both mother and daughter are doing well, Jasleen remains in the neonatal care unit where doctors are monitoring her health. She is now officially the largest new-born in Germany.
