Wow, it's true. There's a woman in my country had 18 children, it means 18 pregnancies. In medical part, giving birth many times is called grande multipara. And there's a limit. It is said that giving birth is more than 4 times has a high risk. In the young pregnancy, the chance of abortion is higher. It can be difficult to give birth. A chance of bleeding after childbirth will be higher too. Uterus which has experienced pregnancy many times will decrease the ability to contract.

Eighteen children! That is amazing. I do hope that she and all of her many children are healthy and happy, and not living in poverty. If they are all in good health, then that mother is very blessed. And in any case, it is not our place to pass judgment on her.

They lived in a poverty. They couldn't buy any contraception. The children worked in farm. They couldn't get to school. No one wanted to go to school. The government tried to help but they refused it. They didn't want to be separated one to another. They lived happily in a poverty.

Really? There is such a person? She can already form a basketball team with her children complete with the reserves and the coaches. LOL. But seriously, she could endanger herself if she gets pregnant one more time. She must be hot that's why she got pregnant too many times.

It's the reality series..19 and counting. Her last pregnancy resulted in a premie birth. Fortunately her children are all very healthy. I believe their relgion doesn't allow for any forms of child prevention.

I have gone through this expereience twice. that is enough for me! I could not imagine being pregnant 18 times. It would certainly be something that was hard on your body. Each time your health could be at risk.

I don't think that's a great idea you know. by that time on, the woman may experience a lot of complications. teeth fall out and she may experience severe back pains and yes the uterus would be greatly affected as well. It's hard.

Wow, All credits goes to her husband who has real men power because without men power is not possible to give birth of 18 kids. The second way is test tube but i don't believe on it that a woman go for test tube baby to get 18 kids.

My friend from high school's mom actually told me about some guy who had twelve kids and wanted to have another baby because there was one more NAME he wanted to use. I thought this to kind of strange to want to have a baby just because he wanted to use another name.

Assuming you mean 18 children individually and not all at the same time right?? Anyways my ex husbands mother had twenty and I always kid and say they must not have had other forms of entertainment. But it is possible and she is healthy to date.

that is so .... well weird because 18 pregnancies and 18 children is just, well it must be really hard for her. i don't care the fact that she had 18 sexes but i feel sorry for her because she has 18 chilldren and it must be really really difficult for her to feed them all and cloth them all. but i wish that she would be a great mother for her 19 children... just as you mentioned, she also risked her health1
