When the newborn Nadia was placed on the scale, she broke not only a family record, but a Guinness World one: the C-section baby weighed in at a whopping 17.1 lbs!
It's almost as if Nadia knew from the start she'd have to do something to make her birth stand out from those of her eleven older siblings'.
"We were all simply in shock," said Nadia's mother, Tatyana Barabanova, 43. "He (the father) couldn't say a thing -- he just stood there blinking."
The Russian mother said her pregnancy diet consisted of potatoes, noodles, and tomatoes and none of her other children were this large. So far there has been no explanation why Nadia came out the size of a six- or seven-month-old.
I was always instructed not to lift anything heavier than the baby after my C-sections. For this mom, that would mean pouring a little bit of dog food out of the 25 lb bag before picking it up! Ack!

Deborah Storm said...Diabetes is the most likely cause. The Mother had it eating all those refined carbohydrates during her pregnancy.Oh and by the way, where do people get off having so many children? We are not in the 1800's trying to have enough children to work the family farm. In 20 years that poor baby is going to be starving like the rest of us on this planet. From depleted resources and global overpopulation!

Kelly said...I thought I had something to brag about when my son was born at 11.2oz., I guess that puts an end to that. But it doesn't say if she or the baby are diabetic, my son wasn't.
I will say it was hard to walk around with 11lbs in my stomach, I don't see how she could manage such a large family in that condition.

Great question for Scott Warner, apparently he is confused about pluming and such, or needs a good therapist.
About your comment: the baby “hole” yields its product mostly "whole", as opposed to the other “hole”... not so much.
Wouldn't it be nice if this editor had spell check!

Neesie said...Doctors ask how big your children were at birth to determine your risk of type II Diabetes. Anything 9lbs or over is a flag that you are on the road to diabetes. I am not surprised that the majority of her diet was potatoes and pasta, two no-no's for diabetics.
