BARNAUL, Russia (Reuters) - A Siberian woman who gave birth to her 12th child -- doing more than her fair share to stem Russia's population decline -- was stunned to find that little Nadia weighed in at a massive 7.75 kg (17.1 lb).

Nadia was delivered by caesarean section in the local maternity hospital in the Altai region on September 17, joining eight sisters and three brothers, a local reporter said.

"We were all simply in shock," said Nadia's mother, Tatyana Barabanova, 43. "What did the father say? He couldn't say a thing -- he just stood there blinking."

"I ate everything, we don't have the money for special foods so I just ate potatoes, noodles and tomatoes," she told the reporter, adding that all her previous babies had weighed more than 5 kg.

3. Is she diabetic?

Diabetic women often have very large babies. It can be extremely dangerous to both mother and child.

8. Does that cause babies to be so large?

How?

9. how? I'm not sure, but it is one of the problems associated with gestational diabetes.

Of course being so large can cause problems for physical development in the womb and huge problems if the baby is delivered vaginally.
