Bonus fun fact: The semi-disputed record for the highest number of children birthed from a single woman belongs to the first wife of Feodor Vassilyev, who lived in Shuya, Russia, from 1707 to 1782. The poor woman’s first name is unknown, but she is reported to have given birth to 69 children: 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets. It’s believed that Mrs. Vassilyev lived to be 76 years old, which means she spent just over 20 years of her life pregnant.
