One woman had 69....seriously
"A Russian woman holds the record for having the most children. Between 1725 and 1765, she was pregnant 27 times and had 69 children."
"The highest officially recorded number of children born to one mother is 69, to the first wife of Feodor Vassilyev (1707-1782) of Shuya, Russia. Between 1725 and 1765, in a total of 27 confinements, she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets, and four sets of quadruplets. 67 of them survived infancy."
