Doctors say a British woman has given birth to the biggest baby ever
born naturally in Spain - a girl weighing 6.2kg (13lbs 11oz).
Maxime Marin, 40, had what doctors described as an "uncomplicated" delivery at the Hospital Marina Salud in Denia, Alicante.
The mother, who lives in Spain with her Colombian partner, said she knew the baby would be big "but not that big".
"I did not even need an epidural," Ms Marin is quoted as saying.
Both are believed to be doing well, although the newborn - Maria Lorena - remains in the neonatal care unit.
Dr Javier Rius, the head of the hospital's department of obstetrics
and gynaecology, said: "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."
