AN obese German mother gave birth to a gigantic baby boy without the help of a C-section, and named him "Jihad."

The newborn child -- the mother's 14th -- weighed in at 13 pounds (six kilograms) to set a new record for Germany's heaviest naturally born baby, news website The Local reported overnight.

His 40-year-old mom, who weighs 528 pounds (240 kilograms), was advised to go under the knife because of the high risks involved with such a large baby, but pushed for a natural delivery Wednesday at Berlin's Charite hospital.

Jihad's giant size is believed to be the result of his mother's untreated gestational diabetes. Doctors believe the woman was aware of her condition, but ate too much sweet food, resulting in her excessively high blood sugar level.

The mother previously had given birth to nine boys and four girls, four of whom were born with birth weights heavier than 11 pounds (five kilograms).

Babies over 8.8 pounds (four kilograms) are judged overweight at birth.
