11-Pound Baby Girl Born via C-Section in Vladivostok Hospital

A baby girl weighing 11 pounds was born at Vladivostok’s Clinical Maternity Hospital No. 3. The delivery took place via a planned cesarean section. Both the mother and newborn are in good health after the procedure. The mother, a 37-year-old resident of Primorsky Krai’s regional capital, welcomed her third child. Doctors opted for a cesarean due to the baby’s large size and the mother’s history of two previous C-sections. This birth continues a pattern, as her older daughters also had above-average birth weights.

The newborn’s arrival adds to the region’s birth statistics. In the first half of 2026, Primorsky Krai recorded 5,413 births, with 2,816 boys and 2,597 girls. The successful delivery marks another healthy addition to the family. The mother and baby are recovering well after the procedure. The birth also reflects the region’s ongoing demographic trends for the year.
