36 year old Ugandan woman, Mariam Nabatanzi, is said to be the world’s most fertile woman.
She had a total of 44 children, including four sets of twins, five sets of triplets and five quadruplets, with 38 surviving.
Nabatanzi, now a single mother who works as a tailor, hairdresser and herbalist to earn enough money to be able to raise her 38 surviving children, was reportedly sold into marriage at the age of 12 to a man who was 40-year-old at that time and had her first child a year later.
She recalled being warned by a doctor that birth control, like the Pill, could cause her problems because she had unusually large ovaries, adding that after her first set of twins, the babies just kept coming.
At 23, Nabatazni had 25 children and was desperately begging her doctor for help to stop her from having more.
However, medical advice was for her to continue getting pregnant because her ovary count was so high.
Her last pregnancy, which led to the birth of her fourth set of twins 3 years ago, ended in tragedy, as one of the babies died while she was in labour and her husband left her for good.It was after that pregnancy that she got the medical help she needed to stop her having more babies.
A gynecologist at Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda, Dr. Charles Kiggundu, said her case was genetic predisposition to hyper-ovulate, which released multiple eggs in one cycle and significantly increased the chance of having multiples.
