Brazilian Woman Delivers 14-Pound Baby

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Aug. 29) - A 14-pound girl delivered by Caesarean section is so large that her feet reach over the edge of her small crib, hospital officials said Tuesday.

The baby born Sunday, Isabel Vitoria, measured 23.23 inches, is far from the largest baby born in Brazil -- a baby born in January 2005 in the northeastern city of Salvador weighed 16 pounds, 11 ounces.

According to Guinness World Records, the heaviest baby born to a healthy mother was a boy weighing 22 pounds, 8 ounces, born to Carmelina Fedele in Aversa, Italy in September 1955.

Isabel Vitoria was in good health and should go home on Wednesday, said Antonio Pimenta, an administrator at the Rocha Faria State Hospital. She's the first daughter for Elisa Maia dos Ribeiro, a 36-year-old housewife who has already given birth to three boys. All were large, weighing over 9 pounds but substantially smaller than Isabel Vitoria.

Ribeiro is diabetic, and doctors said it was common for women with diabetes to give birth to large babies.

Yes, diabetics are prone to very large babies.
Unfortunately, her children probably have it/or will have it as well.
