The new mum, who herself weighs 14.5 stone (94kg) and is 5’9 tall, had a smooth pregnancy throughout but was unaware she was about to give birth to a big baby. While her size hinted at high sugar levels, doctors revealed that she is not diabetic which usually causes obesity in new-born infants.

Both the doctors and family members were also astonished by the size of the newborn because the pregnancy had gone smoothly.

Medics are monitoring the child in an intensive care unit to check her developments, before letting her go in a few days.
