September 27, 2007: Woman [caesarian-] births a 17 pound baby

Undertoad · 09-27-2007, 06:08 PM

Booyah! We had a 16-pounder as IotD in February, so news of this 17-pounder had to make the site as well. The Mail via Neatorama has the details on this lass, Nadia, born by c-section in Siberia.

And they say

I guess the first eleven make womb room? Anyway, this is not a record, but still notable. Especially for the look on the kid next door, who must feel inadequate.

That looks like a really loud baby.

P.S. I thought it was a girl.

Not uncommon in twin and multipul births for one fetus to steal blood supply from the others. Pretty common.

She wasn't a twin, though, was she? the other baby is just an innocent bystander wheeled in for size comparison, methinks.

And no, it isn't rare for babies to have their eyes open when they're awake. And who could sleep through that racket?

The other's baby's eyes are open (rare!) cause he's like "dayum, what they feedin' you in there, Life cereal??"

No, many open their eyes right away if you cover their heads from the bright light. They cannot focus immediately. In a week or so they can focus about to the lenght of their arms.

Oh yeah, I forgot what it was like to be 3 minutes old, thanks Merc

It really is funny looking at that little baby looking at the big baby...

The day my wife was born there was a lady that had a 16lb baby naturally.
At least her mom told me naturally... I still try not to imagine it.

So, she's a Siberian... husky?

Well if he goes for natural child birth, I don't want to see it!!!
