Ouch! 3rd Heaviest Baby Ever Born in China

Ginormo-baby was born in China this week, weighing 13.75 pounds, and is thought to be the heaviest baby born in China since the Communist takeover in 1949, and is the 3rd heaviest baby born anywhere in recent history. My, oh my. And I thought it was hard birthing my tiny-by-comparison 6-something pounders. Ouch! Typically such heavy babies can be due to excessive prenatal weight gain in the mother or diabetes, and although the former athlete and new mom is built like a linebacker at 264 pounds, there's no family history of diabetes.

So you're asking yourself about now, well if this is the 3rd-heaviest baby born in recent history, what about #2 and especially what about #1? The most recent heaviest baby was born in Brazil in January 2005, weighing 7.6kg., which is 16.72 pounds. And the #1 heaviest baby, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, was born in Italy in 1955, and weighed 10.2kg. That's 22.44 pounds.

Everybody, all together now: "OUCH!"

Strollerderby : OMG
