19 Pound Baby Boy Born in Indonesia: A Case of Macrosomia?
The 19 pound baby boy was born a few days ago in Indonesia and it was all over internet news. This 19 pound baby was taken a photo on the side of a average-sized baby. Its actual weight was 19.2 pounds or 8.7 kilograms which is considered the largest baby born in that country. However, this 19 pound baby boy did not break the 1879 record of the “largest baby born” at 23 pounds. Try to look at the photo of this 19 pound baby boy from a hospital in Medan, North Sumatra below. Nurses and pediatricians claimed this huge baby had a bizarre appetite and a loud roar rather than a cute baby cry.

This 19 pound baby boy’s case was actually called “Macrosomia” that is usually a result of Gestational Diabetes or woman who had diabetes during her pregnancy.
