Woman Told To Shorten Name That's Too Long For Driving Licence
Jasleen - Germany's Largest Baby
In 2013, a baby weighing 6.1 kg (13.4
lbs) and measuring 57 cm (22 in) long
was born naturally. Jasleen, a baby girl,
was born at University Hospital in
Leipzig, Germany on July 26, making her
the country's largest ever.
Jasleen's mother was found to have an
undiagnosed case of
gestational diabetes, a condition which
normally occurs around
the 24th week of pregnancy and can
lead to a larger-than-normal newborn.
Stephen Lyttle - Australia's Largest
Baby
Stephen Lyttle, who tipped the scales at
7.399 kg (16 lbs 5 oz) when born at
Kempsey Hospital on January 26, 1963,
is Australia's heaviest. The average
weight of
an Australian baby is 3.37 kg.
Today, he is 50 years old and stands a
relatively regular 1.86
meters and weighs a proportionate 97
kg.
Maxine Marin - Gave Birth to the
Biggest Baby Girl in Spain
A 40-year-old British woman has given
birth to the biggest baby ever born
naturally in Spain - a girl weighing 6.2 kg
(13.6 lbs). Maxime Marin delivered the
baby
at 4.43 am local time at the Hospital
Marina Salud in the Mediterranean city
of Denia, according to the hospital.
Larger babies are often delivered via
Caesarean section, but Marin did not
even need an epidural, a
painkiller delivered into the spine
during childbirth.
Marin, who lives in Spain with her
partner from Colombia, said she knew
that the baby would be big, "but not
that big."
