That's insane. She must have been nonstop pregnant for years. :lol:
As soon as one comes, she starts on another one. Some of them must be twins or triplets, because thats just crazy!

 

[dgridley]

What surprises me is that her uterus hasn't worn thin from all the use! After all those kids, you'd think she'd be incapable of coceiving another one.. must be some sort of record!

As long as the parents can support this amount of children, the children are healthy and all well looked after, they are happy and they are doing nothing illegal.

Some "interesting" birth related world records..

Most Surviving Children From A Single Birth

A set of septuplets – four boys and three girls – were born to Bobbie McCaughey on November 19, 1997, at the University Hospital, Iowa, USA. Conceived by in vitro fertilization, the babies were delivered after 31 weeks by caesarean in the space of 16 minutes. Named Kenneth, Nathaniel, Brandon, Joel, Kelsey, Natalie and Alexis, they weighed between 1,048 g and 1,474.3 g (2 lb 5 oz and 3 lb 4 oz).

Most Fetuses In A Human Body :o

On July 22, 1971, Dr Gennaro Montanino of Rome, Italy, announced he had removed the fetuses of ten girls and five boys from the womb of a 35-year-old housewife. A fertility drug was responsible for this occurrence. Dr Gennaro Montanino operated on the Rome housewife, whose identity was withheld to protect her, while she was in her fourth month of pregnancy. The unborn children were five inches long and five ounces in weight. The woman and her salesman husband already had an eight-year-old daughter born after similar hormone treatment and had asked doctors for another fertility treatment to have another child.

The highest officially recorded number of children born to one mother is 69, to the first wife of Feodor Vassilyev (1707-1782) of Shuya, Russia. Between 1725 and 1765, in a total of 27 confinements, she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets, and four sets of quadruplets. 67 of them survived infancy.

Yeh, if people have too many kids, theyll be no room on this planet sooner, rather than later, and we'll be in trouble, especially regarding unemployment
