How many children does a woman have at a time. Going for a record: women who gave birth to the most children in the world. The youngest mother

According to the Guinness Book of Records, a Russian woman gave birth to the most children in the 18th century: in 30 years she gave birth to 69 children.


The Guinness Book of Records records that the largest number of children was born in the 18th century by a Russian woman, about whom it is only known that she was the wife of a peasant Fyodor Vasiliev. For 30 years, she gave birth 27 times: 16 pairs of twins, 7 triplets and 4 quadruplets. There are 69 children in total.

By the way, after the death of his first wife, Fedor Vasiliev remarried, and the second wife bore him 18 more children: six twins and two triplets. However, even such a result does not allow us to consider Fedor Vasiliev the largest father in history. But the record of a nameless peasant woman has not been beaten so far.

Perhaps there is not a single country where Mother's Day is not celebrated. In Russia, it appeared relatively recently - it has been celebrated on the last Sunday of November since 1998, but gradually it enters Russian homes. And this is wonderful: no matter how many good, kind words we say to our mothers, they will still be few.

The most unusual mothers

The mother who gave birth to the tiniest baby. Baby Mahajabina Sheikh at birth weighed 243.81 g with a height of 10 cm.

The oldest mother Indian Rayo Devi Lohan gave birth for the first time at the age of 70.

A mother who gave birth to eight children at one time. Nadia Denise Daoud-Suleman Gutierrez was born in 2009, and six more children were waiting for her at home.

The world record for the difference between births is set by Elizabeth Ann. She gave birth to her first child in 1956, when she was 19 years old, and the second son was born when her mother was already 60 years old. Thus, the difference was 41 years.

The largest number of children born to one mother, according to official data, is 69. According to reports made in 1782, between 1725 and 1765. The wife of a Russian peasant Fyodor Vasiliev gave birth 27 times, giving birth to twins 16 times, triplets 7 times and 4 twins 4 times. Of these, only 2 children died in infancy.

Of our contemporaries, Leontina Albina (or Alvina) from San Antonio, Chile, who in 1943-81 is considered the most prolific mother. gave birth to 55 children. As a result of the first 5 pregnancies, she gave birth to triplets, and exclusively male.

Giving birth the most times

A record 38 births are said to have been given to Elizabeth Greenhill of Abbots Langley, c. Hertfordshire, UK. She had 39 children - 32 daughters and 7 sons - and died in 1681.

The largest number of multiple births in one family

Maddalena Pomegranate from Italy (b. 1839) had triplets born 15 times.

There is also information about the birth on May 29, 1971 in Philadelphia, pc. Pennsylvania, USA, and in May 1977 in Bagarhat, Bangladesh, 11 twins. In both cases, no child survived.

Most fertile pregnancies

Dr. Gennaro Montanino, Rome, Italy, claims to have removed, in July 1971, the embryos of 10 girls and 5 boys from the uterus of a 35-year-old woman who was 4 months pregnant. This unique case of 15-fertility was the result of infertility pills.

9 children - the largest number in one pregnancy - were born on June 13, 1971 by Geraldine Broadrick in Sydney, Australia. 5 boys and 4 girls were born: 2 boys were stillborn, and none of the rest survived more than 6 days.

The birth of 10 twins (2 boys and 8 girls) is known from reports from Spain (1924), China (1936) and Brazil (April 1946).

The largest father

The largest father in the history of our country is the peasant of the village of Vvedensky Yakov Kirillov, who in 1755 was presented to the court in connection with this (he was then 60 years old). The first wife of a peasant gave birth to 57 children: 4 times four, 7 times three, 9 times two, and 2 times one. The second wife gave birth to 15 children. Thus, Yakov Kirillov had 72 children from two wives.

On January 10, 1974, Sue Rosenkowitz gave birth to six twins in Cape Town, and for the first time all of the newborns survived.

But this, as they say, is not the limit. A greater number of twins have been born and are being born in the world. What is the largest number of children born at the same time?

gears

In October 2008, 31-year-old Digna Carpio from New York gave birth to six twins - four boys and two girls. The weight of babies at birth ranged from 0.68 to 0.9 kilograms. The happy mother and her husband, 36-year-old Victor, already had a seven-year-old son at that time.

The birth of six twins is an extremely rare occurrence, occurring in one in 4.4 million people. Only once before in New York were born six babies at once. It happened in 1997.

In October 2010, in the Italian city of Benevento, near Naples, 30-year-old Carmela Oliva had six children - four girls and two boys. In Italy, this was the first such case in the last 14 years.

To help the babies be born, doctors were forced to resort to a caesarean section. Children were born with low weight - from 600 to 800 grams. According to doctors, this phenomenon is not associated with artificial insemination, but with the treatment that the mother underwent - the fact is that Italian laws prohibit transplanting more than three embryos.

Setuples

Bobbie McCaughey (USA) gave birth to 7 children on November 19, 1997. They weighed between 1048 and 1474 grams and were born at 31 weeks pregnant within 16 minutes by caesarean section.

7 twins were born 8 weeks prematurely - on January 14, 1998 - to 40-year-old Hasna Mohammed Humair (Saudi Arabia). Among them, 4 boys and 3 girls, the smallest weighed 907 grams.

In August 2008, in the northern Egyptian province of Beheira, the 27-year-old wife of a local farmer, Ghazalu Khamis, gave birth to seven twins at once! As it turned out, the Egyptian dreamed of giving her husband a son and was taking pregnancy-stimulating drugs. The result is four sons and three daughters.

Ghazala Khamis was placed under observation two months before the birth: the development of twins in the womb did not cause concern - the doctors were only worried about the increasing pressure on the kidneys. After a caesarean section, the woman in labor also underwent a blood transfusion. But all the crumbs were born healthy and quite large - from 1.4 to 2.8 kg, which in itself is a mystery of nature.

Eights

On January 26, 2009, 33-year-old Nadi Suleman gave birth to eight twins, all of whom were healthy.

The mother of the newborn eight then lived with her other children and parents in the suburbs of Los Angeles - in the small town of Whittier. The family already grew up six kids aged two to seven years, among whom there is a pair of twins.

The children's grandmother left her job and devoted herself entirely to her daughter's family. And grandfather, to help Nadia, went to Iraq to work under a contract. Nadia herself claimed that she decided to take this step because of her own childhood, in which she missed her brothers and sisters so much. In addition, the eccentric American said that she was following the example of her idol, the large Angelina Jolie. A few years ago, Suleman even had plastic surgery to look like an actress.

Eight was conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Doctors in such cases insist on the reduction (removal) of a part of the embryos. After all, such a number of them can adversely affect both the health of the mother and the health of future children.

But the Californian, with the support of her large family, refused to reduce. A single mother divorced her husband a long time ago precisely because they could not have children together.

The delivery by caesarean section was nine weeks ahead of schedule. A team of 46 doctors who took birth was expecting the birth of seven babies, which, although not often, does happen. However, there were eight newborns - six boys and two girls - and they are all quite healthy. The weight of babies is from 700 g to 1.9 kg. Seven of them immediately breathed on their own and were bottle fed. The whole family was discharged from the maternity hospital home in just a week.

From 10 and more

There is information about the birth of ten twins at once. Such cases were recorded in Spain in 1924, in China in 1936 and in Brazil in 1946. But this is not the limit.

Eleven children at once - this is the largest number of twins, information about which is known. The first birth of 11 twins occurred on May 29, 1971 in the USA, in the city of Philadelphia. The second - in 1977 in Bangladesh, in the city of Bagarhat. In both cases, none of the children, unfortunately, survived.

1. Mother who gave birth to 2 pairs of different-colored twins

Alison Spooner, from the British city of Fleet, gave birth to two daughters in 2001. Lauren looks like her mother - she has red hair, white skin and blue eyes. And the dark-skinned brunette Hiley looks like her father, the Indian Dean.

Doctors then said that this happens once every few years. However, the second pair of twins that were born to the Spooners also has a different skin color.

The younger girls had breathing problems when they were born. So they were placed in separate pressure chambers, says Dean. - Then we saw them together. And they realized that they had created a natural phenomenon again.

Mia and Leah were born on November 13, 2008, a few weeks premature. The first months I spent with my mother in the hospital. Currently, healthy girls are already at home. In the family they are called Marshmallow and Chocolate.

I think no one doubts that our family is special, - says Alison.

But Carol Horlock set a world record for fertility as a surrogate mother (Carol is now 43 years old). For 13 years, she was able to endure and give birth to 12 children, including triplets. In an interview with one of the TV shows, the woman admitted that she planned to become a surrogate mother only once, but then she could not stop. Of the pluses, she notes the material side (still - 25-30 thousand dollars per child), but the minuses include morning sickness, bed rest, stretch marks and a caesarean section.

Carol admits that surrogacy has become a real job for her.

7. The youngest mother in the world

The world's smallest mother has given birth to her third child, despite doctors' warnings that it would threaten her life.

Stacey Herald, 36, a native of Dry Ridge, Kentucky, USA, is only 72 cm tall. Doctors immediately told her that a fully formed fetus could easily kill her, because. her internal organs are too small, but despite this, Stacey has already given birth to three children.

Descendant of Fyodor Vasiliev discovered in Introduction

The correspondent of "MS" got access to documents that shed light on the family secrets of the Shuyanin - the father of 86 children, the Guinness book record holder.

Let us remind our readers that Fyodor Vasilyev, a peasant from the Shuisky district, who in 2010 was nominated by the MS editors as a contender for the title of “Name of Shuya”, became famous for being the father of 86 children. For comparison: the Sultan of Morocco, Moulay Ismail, who lived in the XVIII century, had 700 sons and 342 daughters. Only he had not two wives, like the Shuya record holder, but a whole harem. That is why the name of Fyodor Vasilyev was officially entered in the Guinness Book of Records, and hardly anyone in the world will be able to move a peasant from the Shuisky district from this pedestal. Our newspaper devoted many publications to Fyodor Vasiliev, proving that this person is worthy of installing at least some kind of memorial sign in his small homeland. However, we must admit that we were embarrassed by the fact that there were too many dark, insufficiently clear pages in the history of the Shuya record holder. And we didn’t even dare to dream of finding the descendants of a father with many children. And now, finally, we bring to the readers' judgment what we managed to dig up in the archives and publications of past years literally bit by bit. Finally, it turned out to join the documents that shed light on the history of the Vasiliev family. But we will tell about everything in order, interspersing previously known information with information received by the MS correspondent recently.

Who is Fedor Vasiliev?

Fyodor Vasiliev (1704-1790) was born into the family of a monastic serf and was himself a serf, assigned to the Nikolo-Shartomsky monastery. He lived in the village of Vvedensky (now Vvedenye), and during the period of church reforms of Catherine the Great, he was transferred to the category of "state" peasants and moved to the Kufrino farm, which was located just a few sazhens from the village of Zheltonosovo, which at the beginning of the 18th century was territorially part of Shuisky county (now - this is the Ivanovsky district). The name of the first wife of Fedor, who gave birth to 69 children, history is silent. But the second wife Anna, who gave him 17 children, was from the village of Melnichnoye.

By the way, Vasiliev is not a surname. The peasants in Rus' did not have surnames. It only meant an abbreviated form of his patronymic, i.e. the name of his father. The son of Fyodor Alexei was already called Fedorov, the grandson of Fyodor Yegor - Alekseev, and so on.

Family branch of record holder

Feeding such a large crowd of children was very difficult. Children were given to be raised in childless and small families. So, one of the sons of Fyodor Vasiliev - Alexei Fedorov - was transferred to the village of Teplintsevo to the serf of the landowner A. G. Plautina. In this village, Alexei grew up, got married, got a house, gave birth to children Yegor, Stepan, Vasily. Alexei's grandchildren were born, raised, and raised families here: Fedor, Ivan, Vasily, Flor. Grandson Vasily married a Zakharya peasant woman Marya Antonova and moved to live in his father-in-law's house. Vasily's sons Photius and Nikifor were born, grew up and started families in Zakharyin. Their cousin Yakov, who lived in Teplintsevo, took the surname Florov in honor of his father. Ivan and Vasily received the surname Yegorov in honor of their father Yegor. And Fedor generally took the incomprehensible (at least to us) surname of the Parukhins. From the village of Teplintsevo, the descendants of Fyodor Vasiliev - free peasants - fled. Zakhar Parukhin, enrolled in the ranks of the townspeople, took up trade in the city of Kokhma. The old people died, the young ones left, their trace was lost. The children of Photius and Nikifor Vasiliev also left the village of Zakharyino. However, at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, Yegor Fotievich, Pyotr Fotievich, Fedor Nikiforov and his brothers Mikhail, Pyotr, Dimitri, Maxim returned to their native lands.

So the numerous offspring of those Florovs, Vasilyevs, Yegorovs, Parukhins live in this world, not realizing that their ancestor is the legendary Fedor Vasiliev.

How the memory faded and revived

Peasants are not nobles, they did not keep “knee paintings”. But according to ancient traditions, they honored their father and mother, remembered a little about their grandfather and knew practically nothing about their great-grandfather. Gradually, in the 4th-5th generations, the memory of the ancestor Fyodor Vasiliev began to fade. The unwitting culprit of this was Alexei, the son of Fyodor, who was brought up by foster parents, who considered him his own son and hid his true origin from him.

A woman from Russia gave birth to 69 children - a world record

The family legend about the “heroine mother” could not be actively passed from generation to generation.

The revival of the memory of Fyodor Vasilyev began with the history teacher of the Zakharya school, local historian A. Dolgov, who caught the eye of A. Shirokogorov's notes from 1870, telling about the large family of Fyodor Vasilyev. It was the son of the parish priest of the Vvedensky Church, Father Vasily, the seminarian Sasha Shirokogorov, who outlined the initial contours of the family tree of the Vasilyev family. He used the archives of the Vvedenskaya Church and the Nikolo-Shartomsky Monastery. The original version of the Vasiliev family tree was finalized by the history teacher of the Zakharya school A. Dolgov.

The editors express their gratitude to Valentina Vasilyeva, a native of the village of Zheltonosovo, now living in the village. Introduction, to the 7th generation descendant of Fyodor Vasiliev, for his help in writing the article.
