Woman gives birth to 6.4-kg baby in Tamil Nadu
Doctor claims it could be the second heaviest baby in the country
A 29-year-old woman delivered a boy baby weighing 6.4 kg at a private hospital in Sathuvachari through caesarean section on Monday.
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.
