According to NY Daily News:
A baby born in Germany is the country's largest ever, at 13.47 pounds and 22.6 inches long. Though babies of her size are often delivered via cesarean section, rather surprising Jasleen's mother gave birth vaginally.
Though the mother had a previously diagnosed case of gestational diabetes, doctors discovered. The condition usually develops around the 24th weeks of pregnancy and can lead to larger-than-average newborn size.
The doctors confirmed that, the daughter and mother are doing well after the birth, though Jasleen remains in the neonatal care unit, according to the German Newspaper Der Spiegel.
Jasleen takes the title of Germany's biggest baby from a 13-pound boy named Jihad, born in Berlin in 2011.
In March, a British mother gave birth vaginally to a 15 lb., 7 oz. baby named George.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the heaviest baby ever was born to Anna Bates of Canada in 1879. The 7'5'' mother and her 7'11'' husband welcomes a 23 lb., 12 oz. baby boy, sadly he died 11 hours later.
