A baby surprised doctors when it arrived into the world -naturally- in 15 minutes at the staggering weight of 14.77 pounds.

Brave Firdous Khatun, 36, gave birth to Raja Ram Kalawati hospital in Orai, Uttar Pradesh.

Her ninth baby, all previous children were in the region of 8 pounds at birth, a slightly more typical weight.

Raja is the biggest baby to ever be born in the country and one of the heaviest in the world.

Dr Anjana Gupta- who delivered the baby- described the (not so little) boy as a ‘miracle’.

They said: "He is a miracle baby. In my 21 years of experience, I had never seen a new-born as big as him.

"We could not believe how, despite his big size, he smoothly came out. 
"Though his shoulders got stuck for few seconds, within three minutes he was in my hands. He was so big that he did not fit in my hands. He is a beautiful baby.

"Though he had respiratory issues initially, both he and his mother are now doing fine. Strangely, the mother is not diabetic which usually causes the risk of obesity in new-born. We do not know why the baby is so big but he is healthy and all his parameters are fine."

Baby Raja remains in hospital where doctors will monitor him for 5 days. He will then hopefully be discharged and his proud parents can finally take him home.
