A Woman Gave Birth to 69 Kids in 76 Years, No One could Believe

How many siblings do you have? Could you imagine sharing a house with 68 brothers and sisters? The Guinness World Records does mention a lady who lived in the 18th century that gave birth to 69 kids! The family lived in the 1700s. Valentina is believed to have lived until the age of 76. And during her life, she’d given birth a whopping 69 times! That’s more than any other woman ever.
The Guinness World Records calls Valentina “the most prolific mother ever” as her record is still unbeaten. According to reports, she’d gone through 27 labors: 16 of them resulted in twins, 7 in triplets, and 4 in quadruplets. Yes, that’s 4 babies at the same time… 4 times!

SUMMARY:
- You might know that an average pregnancy takes 40 weeks. However, the more children you have in the womb, the more likely it is that your labor will come earlier. According to the BBC, Vassilyeva could’ve had 37-week pregnancies with the twins, 32-week pregnancies with her triplets, and 30-week pregnancies with the quadruplets.
- Pregnancy and labor is a challenging thing for a woman’s body, and when pregnancies go one-by-one less than 18 months apart, the risk of complications increases both for the mom and for the baby.
- The scientific community is doubtful, but there are historical records that can serve as evidence that this couple really did have 69 kids.
- The Nikolskiy Monastery sent a document to Moscow on February 27, 1782 that proved Feodor Vassilyev had 82 living children from 2 marriages. This document was published in 1834 in the book The Saint-Petersburg Panorama.
- There is one popular image that’s often thought to represent the Vassilyevs, but this is actually a mistake. That picture shows the family of American Joseph F. Smith. He was married 6 times and became the father of 45 biological and 5 adopted children.
- Michelle Duggar didn’t give birth to 69 kids, but 19 is still an impressive number, right? Together with husband Jim Bob, they became famous in the US thanks to a TLC show called 19 Kids and Counting.
- Christi Cason and her husband Dave from California have 17 kids together, and Christi gave birth to a total of 18 kids so far, one from her other marriage.
- The biggest family in the UK is that of Sue and Noel Redford. The couple has 21 kids and lives in a 10-bedroom house to fit that huge family, even though the two older kids don’t live with them anymore.
- The largest family in the world has 180 members. 74-year-old Ziona Chana lives in India in a house with 100 bedrooms with his 39 wives, 94 children, 14 daughters-in-law, and 34 grandchildren.
