doubt it’s a fact ( which means absolutely
nothing ) but here’s what at least a couple of
the most popular informational sources in
the world today have written (in a nutshell)
and in the interesting facts website own
words. One woman gave birth to 69
children (not at one time of course) which
is the current record. She lived in Russia
and 67 of the children lived beyond infancy.

at a whopping 16 pairs and 4 of her
pregnancies yielded quadruplets. Now if this
is true, it’s absolutely amazing! This one was
corrected from the original posting at which
we had a much lower number of children
but thanks to an intelligent visitor to the
site which informed us of the cold hard
facts and asked if we could change it, after
some research it’s now 69 children.
Unfortunately the visitor didn’t leave a
return email for us to personally thank
them.
