I've just been reading of the Indonesian woman who has just given birth to a baby weighing in at 19.2 pounds.

Absolutely incredible and I can't help feeling that I'm glad that fate never befell me.

Apparently, his cries are really extra loud as well - poor woman!

Can see where the expression shifting a water melon came from, can't you? Poor woman !!!!!! I wonder if the baby has something wrong with his pituitary gland?

The cause is explained in the article, the mother is diabetic.
When a diabetic mother's glucose level is high during pregnancy, the baby can receive too much glucose and grow too large, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
