The father weighed 154 lbs, or the baby did?

Damn, poor widower may have to come to the US to find another 500lb woman.

If he's reading this, I recommend he frequent IHOPs if he comes to the US.

OP fail: the mother died five months after giving birth.

BUCHAREST, Romania — A 25-year-old woman weighing 528 pounds (240 kilograms) gave birth to her first baby on Thursday at a hospital equipped to treat obese people.

One doesn't normally think of Romania as being a place that would need a hospital specifically equipped to treat obese people.

WTF? See what Mycroft noted in #8. You think the US has an exclusive on fat?

You don't necessarily need a special hospital wing or anything, just a large bed or surgical table.

Hmmm, I think at 520+lbs they may have been better suited putting her in a hanger!

Not an 'exclusive on fat' but certainly leading the world.

Why? You need special equipment do deal with the morbidly obese like her. Unless it surprises you that Romania would have anyone at the 500 lbs weight, there is nothing remarkable then.

You're right. But that still does not justify WildCat's post.

The article mentioned she had a thyroid problem. Untreated thyroid problems can cause major issues.

No, just a hospital wing of her own.

Did she give birth to additional babies later?

I find it very distasteful that people consider jokes about the morbidly obese to be funny or even appropriate especially in a case where someone actually died.

For long enough values of "then", it is actually quite common.
