February 1, 2007: Woman births massive baby

Undertoad · 02-01-2007, 10:05 AM

The nightmare of every pregnant woman? Say hello to "Super Tonio" - shown here in a 20minutos.es photo, next to a "normal" sized newborn.

Tonio was born in Cancun Mexico, weighing in at 14.5 pounds (6.6 kg), and sized at 22 inches (55 cm). Part of the official AP caption:

Quote:

According to doctors the baby drinks 5 ounces of milk every three hours, and measures 55 centimeters (22 inches) in length. Antonio's mother, Teresa Alejandra Cruz, 23, and father, Luis Vasconcelos, 38, said they were proud of the boy, and noted that Cruz had given birth to a baby girl seven years ago who weighed 5.2 kilograms (11.46 pounds).

Urgh.

So she was 16 when she had the 11 1/2 pounder. Good gawd.

That makes MY pelvis hurt.

23 and 38...was the first child from the same father? 16 and 31, what is the cultural feeling on that in Mexico?

I've always wondered how some women say sex hurts when this is what comes OUT of them.

Elspode · 02-01-2007, 11:24 AM

I'm speechless. All I can really think of is my favorite old joke, with the punchline, "Hell, if I could find my car keys, we could *drive* out!"

Now I know where Jabba the Hutt came from.

My cousin just had a 10 lb baby a few weeks ago and I thought that was large.

My god. Look at the pudge, the neck crease! Right out of the shoot, this kid is going to need a CPAP machine to sleep at night.

Remind me again, which day is recipe day? Lotsa meat on that. Tender.

No mention if the lady was diabetic..... Even gestational diabetes can account for larger babies. It also does not say of she has this baby (or the other one naturally or C-section)

Also the "normal" weight baby looks quite tiny, most likely a 4.5 - 6 pounder. Might even be premie because of the feeding tube, and the oxygen saturation monitor on his/her ankle. I think this was on purpose to show how large the other one is. You know more shock value

Either way, he is a big baby, here is hoping he is healthy and does not end up being obese as a child or adult.

I LOVE the fact they've included a normal-sized baby for comparison. Whose baby is it?

"Hey man, take a picture of this HUGE F*@!ING BABY!"
"Yeah, but in a photo, you won't be able to tell how big it is."
"Hmm. You're right." *Grabs random newborn* "Here, now we have a proper sense of scale!"

I wonder how a 3 month-old crawled back in there.
