20 Pounds At Birth: The Biggest Babies Ever Born

For any woman who has experienced child birth, let's just say it's never an easy process no matter the size of your bundle of joy. Here are 12 record-breaking babies who wowed the delivery room: #1 - 13.5 pounds  "I knew it would be big but not that big." said Maxime Marin, mother of four who birthed this little 13.5 pound baby. Her child was the largest baby ever born in Spain, and she did it sans epidural. #2 - 14 pounds 13 ounces  U.S. mother Marie Michel already had 4 children who were over 8 pounds at birth. So her fifth, (clocking in at 14 pounds 13 ounces) was far beyond 'infant' clothing sizes. #3 - 14 pounds "I think everyone in the room – even the doctors – was so surprised." said Sara Brandon, mother of a well-rounded 14 pound baby boy. #4 - 15 pounds 7 ounces "Things got scary." Jade King said about the birth of her son, George. 20 doctors and nurses assisted the 15-pound-7-ouncer's delivery. But George was declared happy and healthy upon arrival. #5 - 16 pounds  Everything is bigger in Texas, including their babies. Born to Janet Johnson, JaMichael tipped the scales at 16 pounds. #6 - 16 pounds 1.7 ounces Nurses at the San Francisco hospital where Sammisano was born predicted he would weigh a modest 11 pounds. Boy, were they wrong! #7 - 16 pounds 5 ounces  Born in 1963, Stephen Lyttle was Australia's biggest baby. He still holds the record, with an impressive 16 pounds 5 ounces. #8 - 17 pounds Via C-section, Brazilian mother Francisca Ramos dos Santos delivered her fifth child, Ademilton. He is double the country's average birth weight, at 17 hefty pounds. #9 - 17. 1 pounds  In Siberia, 17.1 pound Nadia came along as Tatyana Khaline’s twelfth child. It is said that in colder climates, babies are born with extra weight to stay warm. #10 - 19.2 pounds  Akbar Risudden had crowds gathering outside his nursery to see the nearly 20 pound baby boy. He holds the record for Indonesia's biggest bundle of joy. #11 - 22 pounds  Known as The Giantess, 7 foot tall Anna Haining Bates birthed a 22 pound baby after 36 hours of labour. Tragically, her son died after only 11 hours of life and was never named. #12 - 22 pounds 2 ounces Born to Carmelina Fedele in 1955 was a baby weighing 22 pounds 2 ounces. The (rather large) little one held the title of Italy's biggest baby but has kept out of the public eye by his mother. If you're a parent of a big baby, let us know your experience!
