Green Bean Buddy has reported that "the scheduled cesarean ,which I know all mommy’s were wondering, was expected to produce a 12 to 13 lb baby, but to the surprise of the whole staff, JaMicheal was 4lbs bigger than expected, and has doctors asking questions."

  " I know that everybody is wondering whether or not this kid will break records, but the only record that I think matters in this case was that the mother’s physician was the luckiest doctor in the state for being able to bring this baby to life.I say lucky because I’m amazed that the doctor allowed the infant to gain so much weight in utero."

The recent phenomenon has been out done by the fact that a woman in Indonesia recently gave birth to a 19 pound baby. Having such a large baby actually is a fairly common condition but requires close monitoring during the pregnancy. Green Bean Buddy representatives have answered the question to how and why does a baby get to be over 16lbs.

"Now, let me take a minute to explain a little bit about the development of large babies.

"There are many infants that naturally begin to get large for their gestational age. Reasons for this may be that the parents are large people or there is a family history of large babies."

"However, when you look at the measurements of these babies, the weight appears to be balanced throughout the baby’s body. In cases like these, for the most part, obstetricians do not need to be unduly concerned about the large fetal growth."

 "But when babies are hitting abnormally excessive weights – like 16 pounds – there are usually other factors that have contributed to the problem."

 "Specifically, as in Brown’s mother’s case, the factor is called gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is a condition where there is too much sugar circulating in the mother. The sugar is easily transferred to the fetus in utero, which leads to weight gain."

Green Bean Buddy continues on to express the concern about this condition and how the pregnancy was allowed to go to full term and put the mother and baby at risk.
