Nandini, 19, (pictured bottom right) who goes only by her initial name, welcomed her first child on Monday evening at a hospital in Hassan in the southern state of Karnataka, India.
Dr Venkatesh Raju, the local health officer, said: 'In my 25 years of experience, I had never seen such a big baby. She is a miracle. I believe she is not only the heaviest baby born in India but the heaviest baby girl ever born in the world.' The baby, who yet-to-be named, (left) surprised everyone including her mother and medics with her sheer size. While the mother's weight hinted at high sugar levels, doctors have confirmed she is not diabetic, which usually causes obesity in new-born infants.
