Woman Breaks Record for Biggest Baby

Conn. Mom Breaks Record for Biggest Baby

NORWICH, Conn. (AP) -- Oh baby! Marie Michel's fifth child was one for the record books. Michel gave birth to a 14-pound, 13-ounce boy Tuesday at William W. Backus Hospital.

Backus officials said the newborn - Stephon Hendrix Louis-Jean - broke the 18-year record for the biggest baby ever born at the hospital by 1 pound, 13 ounces. He was nearly 23 inches long.

"He's built like a linebacker," said Dr. David Kalla, who delivered the baby by Caesarean section.

After nine months of carrying Stephon, 36-year-old Michel said she was happier about having finished giving birth than about all the attention her baby was receiving.




After nine months of carrying Stephon, 36-year-old Michel said she was more tired and happy to have given birth than all the attention her baby was receiving.

"I was miserable," Michel said. "I couldn't sleep at night. My 13-year-old son had to help me get in and out bed."

The baby's size came as no surprise to his mom. Michel's oldest son weighed 9 pounds at birth, her 8-year-old twin sons each weighed 8 1/2 pounds and her youngest son, age 3, was nearly 12 pounds.

Michel's husband, Vijens Louis-Jean, a truck driver, was coming from Florida to see his son.

Less than 24 hours old, the baby was fitting into clothes for a 6-month-old and was too big for newborn diapers.

"I have baby clothes but I don't think they will be able to fit," Michel said. "I think I will have to return them."

I don't even think my twins COMBINED will weight that much.

At least the lower part of me hopes notChat Icon

Unfortunately, with a baby that size Gestational Diabetes is almost a definite.

Re: Woman Breaks Record for Biggest Baby

I have never been pregnant, but shouldn't doctor have scheduled a c-section earlier? My friend's doc induced her before her due date b/c the ultrasound showed a big baby (or so they thought).
