HEAVIEST NEWBORN EVER RECORDED IN INDONESIA.

Jamani wenzetu wanajua sana kutunza kumbukumbu za matukio mbalimbali yanayotokea nchini mwao, hebu tushee hii ya mtoto mwenye kilo nyingi kuzaliwa nchini Indonesia katika historia yao......... Cheki na huyo mtoto ambae picha yake ipo hapo pembeni!

An Indonesian woman has given birth to an 19.2-pound (8.7-kilogramme) baby boy, the heaviest newborn ever recorded in the country, a doctor said on Wednesday.

The baby, who is still unnamed and is 24.4 inches (62 centimetres) long, was born by Caesarean section on Monday at a public hospital in North Sumatra province, a gynaecologist who took part in the operation told AFP.

"This heavy baby made the surgery really tough, especially the process of taking him out of his mum's womb. His legs were so big," Binsar Sitanggang said.

The boy is in a healthy condition despite having to initially be given oxygen to overcome breathing problems, the gynaecologist said.

"He's got strong appetite, every minute, it's almost non-stop feeding," he said.

"This baby boy is extraordinary, the way he's crying is not like a usual baby. It's really loud."

The boy's massive size was likely the result of his mother, Ani, 41, having diabetes, Mr Sitanggang said.

She had to be rushed to hospital due to complications with the pregnancy, which had reached nine months. The baby, her fourth, was the only child not delivered by a traditional midwife.

When a diabetic mother's glucose level is high during pregnancy, the baby can receive too much glucose and grow too large, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

Indonesia's previous heaviest baby, weighing in at 6.9 kilos, was born in 2007 on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta, according to the Indonesian Museum of Records website.

The heaviest baby ever was born to Anna Bates of Canada in 1879, according to The Guinness Book of World Records.

It weighed 23.12lb (10.8kg) and died 11 hours after birth.

Hiyo ni hukooo mbele, nchi za watu....... Vp kuhusu Tanzania hakuna data za mtindo huo au mahospitalini hakuna mtandao ambao issue kama hizo zinaweza kugundulika na kutangazwa kama historia za nchi zetu? Ni kitu kidogo lakini kinaweza kusaidia mtu na nchi kujitangaza katika mataifa mbalimbali..... Mimi sijawahi kusikia lakini kama una data zozote kuhusu mtoto kama huyo hapa Tanzania nigongee basi tushee na wadau wengine!
