An Indian woman has given birth to the heaviest baby ever born in her country - a 13lb boy so big he was delivered via emergency caesarian.
Now confirmed as the heaviest baby to ever be born in India, doctors at the government hospital in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, India, described him as a 'miracle'.
However, they said his large size is likely linked to his mother's own health issues.
His mother, 25-year-old Goga Bai, weighs 220lb and is diabetic - a condition which doctors said can lead to obesity in offspring.
Dr Anamika Aggarwal, who was one of the four doctors who delivered the child.
She said: 'I have never delivered any new-born this big.
'He was definitely a surprise for us. He is not only the biggest baby ever born at the hospital but in the whole country.
'His mother tried to give him a normal birth but the baby was too big to come out naturally and got stuck so we had to perform the C-section with utmost care.
'Both the mother and the child are in sound health. Initially he had respiratory trouble but now he is doing absolutely fine and is healthy.'
Dr Anamika Aggarwal added: 'The mother is a diabetic patient. In cases where the mother is diabetic, her child develops the risk of obesity.
'Though no congenital anomaly has been detected in the child, we are keeping both him and his mother under observation and would discharge them after a week.'
The normal weight of a new-born baby in the country is 6.6lb.
The heaviest baby born in India before this new-born was a girl from Imphal, Manipur who only just weighed 13lb.
