According to hospital staff, the baby’s arrival brought immense joy to her family - and an element of astonishment to the doctors and midwives assisting with the delivery. Affectionately nicknamed “Mia” by her family, the name reflects their hope that she will grow up strong and healthy.

Doctors at the hospital noted that the baby’s weight is significantly higher than the average for full-term newborns, which typically ranges from 2.5 to 4 kilograms. Both low and high birth weights can carry certain health risks, not only in the neonatal period but also in a child’s later development.

According to obstetric specialists, higher-than-normal birth weights may be linked to various maternal factors, such as gestational diabetes, excessive weight gain during pregnancy, or post-term pregnancies. These cases underscore the importance of routine prenatal check-ups, which can help detect early signs of abnormal fetal growth.

Doctors advise pregnant women to follow their prenatal appointment schedules closely. If a fetus appears too small or too large for its gestational age, obstetricians will provide close monitoring and timely intervention to ensure the safety of both mother and child.
