A 29-year-old woman delivered a boy baby weighing 6.4 kg
at a private hospital in Sathuvachari ,Vellore through caesarean section on
Monday Nov 09,2015
Sandhya Babu, director of Sandhya Hospital, said this was the third child for the couple.
They had two girls who weighed 4.5 kg and 3.5 kg respectively at birth.
“She
came to the hospital with pain at 1.30 a.m. As there was no progress in
labour, we performed a caesarean surgery,” she said. She claimed that
the baby with a birth weight of 6.4 kg could be the second heaviest baby
born in the country.
“Three days ago, a 6.7 kg baby was born in Uttar
Pradesh. There was another baby who had a birth weight of 5.9 kg in
Rajasthan a few years ago,” she added.
“Babies born
to diabetic mothers have a chance of being heavy. In this case, the
mother was not a diabetic. The weight of the child could be due to the
mother’s body constitution,” she said.
