'Giant' 17-Pound Baby Born in Brazil
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.
