A 250kg woman from Australia is said to have given birth to a baby weighing 18kg? A pretty “poundy” bear was tied up on us!
There was a report on 'Like Mag' about a 250 kg woman who is said to have given birth to a baby with a birth weight of an impressive 18.1 kg.
You can read it at: OMG. This woman weighs 250 kg and gives birth to a child. How heavy is the child?

A case for the Guinness Book of Records
But do these two photos really have anything to do with each other?
The answer is: NO.
This is a FAKE!
And this fake has been going on for almost two years!
Our colleagues from 'Thats Fake' had already exposed this fairy tale in January 2015.
Did a 600 pound woman really give birth to a 40 pound baby?
Who are these people really?
According to Thats Fake, the myth of the record-breaking 40 pound baby was born via the satirical site World News Daily Report .
But in fact, the supposed mother and the magnificent baby have nothing in common, apart from the remarkable extent of their body mass.
According to Daily Mail UK, Christina was from the US (not Australia), was 23 years old at the time and appeared on TV in 2014 wanting to lose weight and lead a normal life following bypass surgery.
The baby attached to her is called Nadia and was born on September 26, 2007 in Barnaul, Siberia, weighing 7.75 kg (17.1 lbs) (not 18 kg), according to 'BBC UK' and 'The Daily Top'. (Which, admittedly, is still a tall order!)
Mother and child are therefore neither related to each other, nor is the baby's true birth weight correct.
A warmed-up fairy tale, then.
Conclusion:
It's a fake. Mother and child are not related and the baby's birth weight is around 7 kg.
