A 38-year-old diabetic Brazilian woman has given birth to a 17lb baby. Delivered by cesarean section, the newborn weighs the same as the average six-month old. Doctor's say the child is in good health despite the fact that he is receiving oxygen for breathing problems and a glucose IV to maintain a healthy blood sugar level. It is not unusual for diabetic women to give birth to larger babies. This baby is believed to be the largest ever delivered in Brazil.
