British woman's weighty baby breaks Spanish record

[Northerner]

Doctors say a British woman has given birth to the biggest baby ever born naturally in Spain - a girl weighing 6.2kg (13lbs 11oz).

Maxime Marin, 40, had what doctors described as an "uncomplicated" delivery at the Hospital Marina Salud in Denia, Alicante.

The mother, who lives in Spain with her Colombian partner, said she knew the baby would be big "but not that big".

"I did not even need an epidural," Ms Marin is quoted as saying.

Both are believed to be doing well, although the newborn - Maria Lorena - remains in the neonatal care unit.

Ouch! To put it into context, my grandson was that weight at 10 weeks - and he's growing faster than your average baby!
