Mother Cleidiane Santos dos Santos, 27, gave birth to her son Angerson by caesarean section on Wednesday, January 18, at the Padre Colombo Hospital in Parintins, Amazonas state.

Ms. Santos was in the hospital for a routine consultation, but the doctors realized that the unborn baby was too big for her to carry for a full period.

Angerson narrowly misses the national record set by Ademilton dos Santos, born in 2005 and weighing 17 pounds (8 kg).
