February 1, 2007: Woman births massive baby



The nightmare of every pregnant woman? Say hello to "Super Tonio" - shown here in a 20minutos.es photo, next to a "normal" sized newborn.

Tonio was born in Cancun Mexico, weighing in at 14.5 pounds (6.6 kg), and sized at 22 inches (55 cm). Part of the official AP caption:
Quote:
According to doctors the baby drinks 5 ounces of milk every three hours, and measures 55 centimeters (22 inches) in length. Antonio's mother, Teresa Alejandra Cruz, 23, and father, Luis Vasconcelos, 38, said they were proud of the boy, and noted that Cruz had given birth to a baby girl seven years ago who weighed 5.2 kilograms (11.46 pounds).
Urgh.

So she was 16 when she had the 11 1/2 pounder. Good gawd.
