A baby born in Germany is the country’s
largest-ever baby, weighing 13.47 pounds (6.10kg) and 22.6 inches long.
Baby girl Jasleen arrived July 26 at
University Hospital in Leipzig. Though babies of her size are often delivered
via caesarean section, Jasleen’s mother gave birth vaginally. The mother had a
previously undiagnosed case of gestational diabetes. The condition usually
develops around the 24th week of pregnancy and can lead to larger-than-average
newborn size.
Both daughter and mother are doing well after
the birth, though Jasleen remains in the neonatal care unit.
