From the link:

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".

Blimey, it must be like a wizard's sleeve........

// Blimey, it must be like a wizard's sleeve //

That is very poor taste CD. This is not an adult site, we have young readers.

Why poor taste? I must be honest i don't know what a "wizards sleeve" is,or the context.

Could you explain?

[Sqad]

Gromit...HOLD IT!....I have just Googled it......never heard the term before.

Ouch - my nephew was 11 1/2 lbs when born 48 years ago and we thought that he was a whopper. Now a 6'2" beanpole!

nearly a stone ... i bet hubby's hand hurt if she was squeezing it

[ChillDoubt]

Ok then: It must be like a clown's pocket.

You're a Mod Gromit, wield your insurmountable cyber power and remove the post.

[ChillDoubt]

BTW Gromit, if you're worried about 'young readers' being offended by the term, you really need to get out into the real world a bit more!

[pixie373]

Ouch!

[ferlew]

Wow, just wow!
Congratulations on a safe delivery mum Maxime, and welcome to the world baby Maria.

[Gromit]

Do you use such terminology infront of your children or grand children?

Over the years I have recommended AB to several people, but if it descends into juvenile profanity, then I won't do in future. The fact that teens might use it, but a retired surgeon has not idea what it means, might give a clue to how unclever and unfunny it is.

[youngmafbog]

Ouch!

Gromit, get a life.

[bibblebub]

at least the doctor didn't pull a rabbit out

Apparently, that baby's weight is around what a baby of three months should weigh.

I doff my cap to Ms Marin, although her quote of "I did not even need an epidural" seems a little bit like showing off...

[ChillDoubt]

Gromit,
Juvenile profanity is invariably a common occurrence on this site, as you well know.
Get over yourself.
If it irks you to that extent, wield the light sabre of moderation.
Otherwise, stop whining like a new-born.
