13lb 7oz baby the biggest born naturally in Spain

A British mother has given birth to the biggest ever baby born naturally in Spain, a hospital has said.

Maxime Marin, 40, did not even need an epidural painkiller to deliver the baby girl who weighed 13lb 7oz, around twice the size of an average baby.

Newborn Maria Lorena Marin is in “perfect health” following the straightforward delivery at Hospital Marina Salud in the Mediterranean city of Denia on Wednesday morning, the hospital said in a statement.
