Mom Gives Birth to Baby Weighing 12lb 6oz to Break Hospital Record

This mom was left reeling in shock at the size of her baby, who weighed over 12lbs making her one of the heaviest born in Brasil. Tipping the scales at 12.61lbs, Gabrielly Trevisan broke the hospital's 27-year-old record by nearly a whole kilogram when she was born.

Measuring an astonishing 54 centinetres long, Gabrielly is almost twice the weight of the average newborn. But even before her birth, mom, Maria, was warned her daughter would be bigger than the average bundle of joy.

Maria said: "It was a bit of a shock and surprisinggly uncomfortable the first day I held her in my arms, she was so big. The doctor told me he had never done an ultra-sound of a child so big, they even underestimated just how much she'd weigh. Gabrielly is proving to be a wonderful baby. She's serene with a wonderful personality."
