Overview

• A baby boy weighing 5.2 kg was delivered by caesarean at Rani Durgavati Elgin Hospital in Jabalpur on Wednesday, according to unit head gynaecologist Dr Bhavana Mishra.
• Both mother Shubhangi and the newborn are reported to be in good condition, with the paediatric team observing the child in the SNCU as a precaution.
• Doctors described the case as extremely rare, noting that babies over about 4.5 kg are classified as macrosomic and deliveries can be more complex.
• Dr Mishra said maternal records showed no diabetes and suggested genetics or good nutrition as likely contributors to the infant’s size.
• Hospital staff photographed the occasion and images circulated on social media, while local reports say the family could be discharged soon.
