Newborn abandoned in NAIA trash bin saved by docs, nurses

On Monday, July 3, a newborn baby was found in the trash bin in one of the bathrooms of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1. Attendant Maricel Guliman told Inquirer.net that she found the bathroom cubicle floor full of blood, and the baby inside the trash bin, after a woman used the bathroom for longer than usual. 

According to a report to the Manila International Airport Authority, the newborn baby was taken to the clinic at past 11 a.m and was initially diagnosed to be bluish from neck to head, gasping for air, and had a slow heart rate. Thankfully, the infant was revived, but it took doctors and nurses 30 minutes to resuscitate it until its condition normalized. The baby was brought to the Pasay City General Hospital thereafter. Airport authorities are still investigating the incident and are searching through CCTV footages to identify the child’s mother. (inquirer.net)

Massive 16-pound baby born to woman in Indiana
At 37 weeks, Whitney Hallet's doctors estimated her unborn son's birth weight to be at 12 pounds. When she gave birth via C-section last May 1, doctors and nurses were shocked to see that he weighed 16 pounds! According to Edmond, his wife Whitney had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, a condition that causes babies to grow big while in the uterus and ups the mother’s risk for preeclampsia and type-2 diabetes after pregnancy. Prior to this, Whitney had given birth to three babies weighing eight pounds and eight ounces, eleven pounds and one ounce, and nine pounds and 14 ounces. Newborn baby Waylon had to stay in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit for seven weeks due to feeding and breathing issues. He's out of the hospital now and is doing well. "He sleeps a lot more than our other babies did, but he's healthy," Edmond said, adding that he's alert when awake and smiles a lot. (techtimes.com)
