The biggest baby ever born naturally in Spain has weighed in at more than 13 pounds.
Maria Lorena Marin was born to a British mother and a Colombian father in Marina Salud hospital in Denia on the Mediterranean coast on Wednesday morning, the hospital said in a statement.
She was 6.2 kilograms or 13.67 pounds, the hospital said in a statement in Spanish.
The child’s mother, Maxime Marin, 40, said she expected the baby to be big “but not that big,” according to a BBC News translation.
Javier Rius, a senior doctor at the hospital, added: “In my 40-year professional career I have never known of any case of a birth with this weight by natural childbirth. We are all very satisfied with the work which we carried out."
