Ladies this next story is likely to bring a tear to your eye. Giving birth is never a particularly easy experience, and whilst we always hope and pray for an easy birth, we are all aware that a difficult birth is always a possibility. The only thing we can truly hope for apart of course from having a healthy baby is that the baby is not too big. The bigger the baby the more likely it is to be a painful experience for the mum.
For the lady in this story from Indonesia, she already had two other babies. Whilst not excessively large they were on the large side weighing in at 11.6 pounds and 9.9 pounds each. But nobody was expecting the size of the next baby.
You won’t be surprised to learn that she had to have a cesarean section when you discover that the baby weighed in at a mammoth 19.2 pounds. The baby was called Akbar which means “The Great” in Aarabic. His father was a little concerned about being able to afford to feed the big man, saying “I hope I can afford to feed the baby enough because he needs more milk than other babies”. Looks like this baby could have a big future ahead of him, literally.
