Jan 20, 2005 Woman gives birth to giant baby
SAO PAULO - A woman in north-eastern Brazil has given birth to what one doctor called a 'giant baby', a boy weighing 7.57kg.
Mrs Francisca Ramos dos Santos, 38, gave birth to the healthy boy named Ademilton on Tuesday at a hospital in Salvador, north-east of Sao Paulo.
He was the largest baby born at the Albert Sabin Maternity Hospital in its 12-year history, the hospital said.
'Obviously the baby was born by Caesarean section,' hospital director Rita Leal said.
'Both mother and baby are doing just fine.'
'Ademilton could truly be considered a giant baby, for he was born weighing what a six-month-old-baby normally weighs,' pediatrician Luiz Sena Azul told the Correio da Bahia newspaper.
Mrs Santos has four other children - ages nine, 12, 14, and 15 - who were born weighing between 3.5kg and 5kg.
'She knew Ademilton would be a big baby, but not this big,' Ms Leal said. 'She, her husband and the hospital staff were caught by surprise.'
The average weight for newborns in Brazil is 3.5kg for boys and 3kg for girls.

'Obviously the baby was born by Caesarean section,' hospital director Rita Leal said. Obviously. Otherwise, we would have heard her from here.

Ouch!!! I have five...my largest was baby no. 4. He weighed in at 10lbs even. No section...but I received a broken rib during the delivery. My little boy looked like a three month old baby at birth. This BIG guy...he may be walking by next month! JK...
Btw, baby no. 5...he was a planned induction, 2 weeks early to avoid 'size issues' and stilled weighed in at a modest 9lbs3oz.

I thought my brother and I were big kids. I was 8 lb 10 oz when I was born, and my brother 10 lb 8 oz.
