The Woman Who Had the Most Children in History
Valentina Vassilyeva, born in 1707 and died in 1782, is recognized as "the woman who had the most children in history" according to the Guinness Book of Records.
She was the first wife of Feodor Vassilyev, a peasant from Shuya, Russia. At that time, there were no methods of birth control, and having children was considered both a religious and social obligation for women.
Valentina gave birth 27 times, giving birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets, and four sets of quadruplets, for an incredible total of 69 children. Although it seems unbelievable, this extraordinary feat has been officially documented and recognized by Guinness World Records.
