Chun Chun, a 15.5-pound newborn baby in the city of Xinxiang, Henan Province has set the record for the heaviest baby born in China.The baby was delivered via caesarean section on Saturday which the hospital officials said was lasted for about 20 minutes .Both the mother and the baby boy are doing fine in the hospital according to doctors who spoke with the Chinese newspaper the Dahe Daily.
Mother Wang Yujuan, 29, reportedly told local media that her pregnancy with her second child felt different than her first pregnancy with Chun Chun's big sister, who weighed 8.8 pounds at birth.
"I clearly felt that my body was more clumsy than when I had been pregnant with my daughter. My belly was bigger than it was then," Wang said.
She continued, "I guessed the baby would be between 10 and 11 pounds. I never expected to hear that he weighs 15.5 pounds."
Han Jingang, Chun Chun's father, told the Sun that his wife did not do anything different while she was pregnant with their son. He was thrilled when she gave birth to "such a big, fat son."
"Today is the first day of spring in the Chinese calendar and he's a 'dragon baby,'" Han told reporters. "I feel very happy."
The heaviest birth that on record wieghed 10.8kgs(34 lbs) was a baby boy born in Ohio in 1879 but unfortunately died 11 hours after birth.
OMG! that's too big a newborn!!!
ReplyDeleteOhh...this reminds me of a Chinese colleague who is really heavy though he is shorter than me. When he rides with me in my motorcycle, I always have to tell him how heavy he is. This got me thinking whether Chinese are really naturally heavy... :)
ReplyDeleteWaaaah! Ambigat naman! And even the sister, mabigat din pala nung pinanganak sya. Pero good thing at okay naman yung baby. :D
ReplyDeleteHaha,, literal talaga.. "a big,fat son". Congratulations to them! :)
Ang laki grabe! Parang puro Chinese newborns ang laging may record ng mga mabibigat na new borns.
ReplyDeletewow, he's pretty heavy. hope the mom is also okay
ReplyDeletewow, amazing. kamusta naman kaya si mommy.:D
ReplyDeletegeez!! that's a very lucky super healthy baby... i can never imagine giving birth to a child like that heavy haha. xx
ReplyDeleteSobrang bigat. Kaloka. Kamusta naman ang spine ng Mom nya?
ReplyDeleteWow, 15 pounds! I think it was in the news today! I just hope the child grows up healthy.
ReplyDeleteI have pregnant officemate and just this lunch time we were talking about baby weight upon delivery with the other moms..hehe.. OMG 15.5!!! The we're talking about giving birth to 5 to 7 but 15??? Wow..
ReplyDeleteIt's in the heredity. I would like surmise that their forebears were of big built and structure. They never knew that, for sure.
ReplyDeleteAng bilis ha na post mo agad ito. Yes he is massive! I wish he will bring luck to his family. That's very Chinese! I can't imagine that that size my daughter was 8.2 she is look like 2 months old when she was born. How much more him? He must be 4 months old.
ReplyDeletenow that's HEAVY! thank God both mom and baby survived and doing well.
ReplyDeleteSo big and my first thought was "I hope the mom is ok".
ReplyDeleteThis big baby boy has a very lucky parents, not all parents are given the chance to have this kind of blessing!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I don't know how the mom did it. Glad to know that baby and mom are okay.
ReplyDeleteOh. That was a big newborn baby. I bet Chunchun's mom likes sweets when she is pregnant. Tsk. Good to hear they are both safe. :)
ReplyDeleteHuwahhhh!! He is unusually big. Hindi kaya napa-rami ang Carbo intake ni mommy? Ang laki niya ah.
ReplyDeleteChunChun is really big. I also read recently about a 13 pounds baby born in Texas naturally without painkillers.
ReplyDeleteHuge! No wonder he was born c-section. It must run in their family if the eldest sister was born 8.8lbs.
ReplyDeletea huge, lucky, born-in-the-year-of-the-dragon- baby! OMG na ang swerte niya :)
ReplyDeletekatumbas na niya ang dalawang baby :)
