I have recently come across a story about a 30 year old women who already has 10 children - the eldest is 12 years old, and the youngest is 3 months old - and she was trying for her 11th, as she loves being pregnant.

Back in the days of the depression people had multutes of children so they could help work. Now people who have multiple births are either catholic,the woman is being forced to have children , or there is something in her water. As for the previous answer, the sex is never that good to have a birth ever year or so. Would most men like to pass a bowling ball through thier penes." I DON"T THINK SO." Anyway hope she has a good job and here husband has a good job. Many people have multiple births to draw welfare. I hope and wish her the best of luck. She will need it when about half of them reach puberty at the same time, one right after the other. Ask her then if she made the right decision.

I once knew a woman who had 6 kida by the age of 24 she and her husband provided for them all themselves and didnt rely on state benefits. On the other hand Irish Travellers (gypsies/tinkers) do not believe in sex before marraige so a lot of the girls get married very young and so have a lot of kids at an early age I think many of them do not believe in using contraception either so large families are imminent.

i think its great to be able to give your love to some many kids. Her life would be full of love! ...and tantrums but that is the joy of being a mother. I am 21 and have 1 baby boy at the moment... i am hoping for many more in the future! They just fulfill your life and unless you are a women with a baby i dont think anyone could understand.

That's just irresponsible. How on earth can anyone show the love and affection that children need and thrive on to so many kids? I bet they lived on the social as well.

Umm...not that many but one of my good friends in school has 7 siblings equaling 8 and her mum is in her 30's. Oh plus her aunt lives with them. I can never live with sooo many., I only have 3 siblings.

i think thats crazy. I have a 20 year old best friend whos mom just had another baby. I think that when your oldest child is old enough to be having a baby thats a sign that you shouldn't be popping anymore out.

well if they can afford it and have the patience then let them have all the children that they want to. in 2006 the average family consists of 4 people its kinda nice to see a big family

I hope that she also wants them after they are born and not just to enjoy being pregnant She sure believes in being fruitful and multiplying those on the earth!
