EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeK!
I’m glad they didn’t make her pass this one the usual way!!!
16 freakin pounds.
Ugh.
The same thing happened here not long ago. I would dig up a cite but it will be in Spanish anyways. Apparently babies born this big are routinely checked for diabetes.
As a side note: I once had a BF whose mother had given birth to 6 children, the smallest was 9 lbs, my ex was born at 13 lbs. None by cesarean. :eek: Nobody in the family was shorter than 6’, which kinda explains it.
Fezzik lives.
Is this baby likely to be above average size as an adult?
Would a mother typically have died while birthing a child this size before modern medicine?
#1 I don’t know. But #2, probably, and the mother, too, since she birthed it via a Cesearean. I *know * that’s not spelled right.
My aunt was around 14 lbs. Grandmom was bedridden for some three months after. I say “Grandmom” . . . this was 1940 or so.
