Jabalpur: The birth of a healthy baby boy at a hospital in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur has shocked everyone as the new born weighed 5.2 kilograms. Yes, the boy, delivered by 34-year-old Shubhangi Yadav has become the talk of the town due to his unusual weight, with people calling it a miracle. The average new born typically weighs between 2.8 and 3.2 kilograms. The medical team was also stunned upon witnessing an extraordinarily rare event. The baby was delivered via cesarean section at the Durgavati Lady Elgin Hospital on Wednesday. He is currently under medical observation as such babies can be at risk of congenital anomalies.
What Could Be The Reason?
What is truly astonishing is that the doctors successfully managed to deliver the baby, as procedure in such cases can be challenging. The doctors stated that one possible reason for the baby’s large size could be the mother’s nutritional diet during pregnancy. However, the mother claimed that she did not follow any special diet and ate regular meals including lentils, rice, roti and vegetables. Both the mother and child are doing well, stated one of the doctors at the hospital.
Mother Expresses Happiness
While the case has stunned medicos, mother of the child expressed her happiness as the birth occurred during the ongoing Ganesh Chaturthi festival. She said, “Bahut Khushi hai, Ganesh ji mai Ganesh ji aaye humare ghar” (I am very happy that occasion of Ganesh festival, Ganesh ji has arrived in our home.” When asked about how she felt about the rare birth, she said that she doesn’t have idea how did it happen as she was following a very normal diet.
Obstetrician Dr Bhavna Mishra, who performed the C section, called it a “very rare case,” stating that this is her first experience delivering a baby weighing over 5 kilograms. “I have not seen such a heavy child in many years,” Mishra added.
