A teenage mother has given 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to what is believed to be the heaviest 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl in history.
The unnamed 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 reportedly weighed in at 15 pounds (6.8kg) after being delivered by caesarean section in southern India.
Her 19-year-old mother Nandini, who weighs 14.5 stone and is 5ft 9′, had been unaware she was carrying such a large 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥.
Doctors described the record-breaking 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 as a “miracle” after being 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 without any apparent health problems.
Venkatesh Raju told local media: “I believe she is not only the heaviest 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in India but the heaviest 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl ever 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in the world.”
His colleague Poornima Manu, the gynaecologist who delivered the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, said she showed no high sugar levels, a common cause of new𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 obesity.
“She does not have any health issues like irregular sugar levels or thyroid and is breathing well,” she said.
The previous record for a female 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 was set in 2014 by Carisa Rusack, who weighed 14 pounds and five ounces (6.49kg) at the time of her 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 in Massachusetts.
Both girls were still notably lighter than history’s heaviest 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy, who weighed 22 pounds and eight ounces (10.2kg).
He was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 to Carmelina Fedele in Italy in 1955 and remains the holder of the outright Guinness World Record, which does not keep listings by gender.
