When a mom from Brazil was pregnant with her fourth child, her belly got so big that she thought she was having twins. But it turned out to be a gigantic baby girl, who broke the hospital’s record for the largest newborn.

Maira Trevisan, from Brazil, gave birth to a colossal baby who weighed a whopping 12.61 pounds (5.72 kg), almost twice the size of an average newborn and around half the weight of a gold bar.
