Baby girl weighing 6kg born in Saudi Arabia

A Saudi mother gave birth to a baby girl weighing six kg and doctors said it was one of the highest weights for a newborn to be recorded in the Gulf kingdom.

The woman underwent a Caesarian operation at the hospital in the northern town of Tabuk after she went into labour in an early stage.

“She had a premature delivery and the baby weighed around six kg, one of the heaviest babies to be born in the Kingdom,” the hospital’s public relations director Fahd Al Tuwaijri said, adding that both the mother and her daughter were in good health.
