A 41 y/o Indonesian woman was planning on delivering her fourth baby at home attended by a midwife, just like her previous three. And then anatomical reality set in – 19lb babies cannot be birthed in the manner God provided. She underwent a C-section and out emerged a one-year-old sized child.
Reportedly both are doing well – his appetite insatiable.
Unknown how large the mother was to accommodate such a large child. Imagine the force of his kicks if his hands and arms are that big.
Mom is a known diabetic, which can lead to large babies.
Largest Indonesian baby previous: 6.9 kgs – he’s 8.7kgs
Diabetic Brazilian mother = 17lbs

And the mother?

Yes. Both newborns. No name as yet.
Imagine: a 1 y/o should generally weigh 3 times the birth weight.
