37 years old gave birth to 38 children, the woman could not stop giving birth, the doctor had to intervene

At 37 years old, giving birth to 38 children, the mother was named the most fertile woman in the world. But few people know, her life is really too hard, with the birth stop alone is too difficult.

In 2017, Ugandan social media was abuzz with the story of a Ugandan woman who was only 37 years old but had to hug her 38 children alone.

Many people would doubt that some of the children were adopted. In fact, all are the biological children of Mariam Nabatanzi, who lives in Kambiri village, Mukono district, Uganda.

According to the Monitor, Mariam Nabatanzi, 37, who lives in Kambiri village in Mukono district, Uganda, has 38 children, most of them born by normal delivery, with the last being a caesarean section.

And of Mariam's 38 children, 10 were girls and 28 boys. The mother's first child is now 23 years old and the youngest is only 4 months old. However, her performance in childbirth is still far behind her father's as he has 45 children with many different wives, all 5, 4, 3 or twin.

Nabatanzi gave birth to her first child at the age of 13, when she was pregnant with twins. This mother had a total of 6 pairs of twins, 4 pairs of triplets, 3 pairs of quadruplets and 2 babies born from two single pregnancies.

Talking to Mariam was able to understand why she was only 37 years old and gave birth to 38 children. It turns out it's because Mariam suffers from a rare genetic condition that leads to multiple ovulations at the same time. She conceived 38 children on 14 occasions, including 6 twin pregnancies, 4 3 pregnancies, 3 4 pregnancies and 2 single pregnancies. Of Mariam's 38 children, 10 were girls, the rest were boys.

Of the 38 children, 10 girls and 28 boys, the mother's first is now 23 years old and the youngest is 4 months old. It is not unusual for her to have 38 children because her biological father also has 45 children with different wives.

Nabatanzi was forced to marry by her family at the age of 12, her husband was 40 at the time. Her married life was extremely difficult.

"I didn't even know I was married, no weddings, no weddings, I just went to my husband's house. I just remember that day, people came to my house and gave my father a lot of possessions. Then they left. I was taken by my aunt, not knowing where to go but just following because I was still an innocent child. However, when I arrived, my aunt handed me over to a man, he was my husband that I later learned," Mariam said.

"Before me, my husband had many wives, and he had children of his own. Marrying him, as a wife, I had to take care of my husband's stepchildren because their mother had left after the divorce. My husband is a brute, he hits me whenever he gets the chance, for no reason," Mariam choked up.

When she gave birth for the sixth time with 18 children, Mariam desperately wanted to stop and went to see a doctor at Namaliili Hospital. It is worth mentioning that she has extremely rare problems. "The doctor told me I couldn't stop the delivery because I had too big an ovary that shed too much, so intervening to stop ovulation would be life-threatening," the mother of 38 said.

According to Dr. Ahmed Kikomeko at Kawempe General Hospital, "Preventing an unfertilized egg is not only a threat to this woman's reproductive system but even puts her life at risk."

After that, she was given the IUD method but was constantly sick and vomiting, to critical levels and even in a coma for 1 month. At the age of 23 with 25 children, she returned to the hospital and was advised: "You can't continue to use IUDs because there are too many eggs."

She worked tirelessly to provide for her children's education and ensure that they always had a home to return to. She worked in all sorts of jobs, from hairdresser to event decorator to scrap collector. She also makes her own gin locally to sell and make herbal medicine.

Charles Musisi, 23, Nabatanzi's eldest son, said his father was "gone" a long time ago and his 38 siblings grew up entirely on his mother's love. "We siblings don't know what Dad's face is like. The last time I saw him was on a dark night when I was 13, and it was very brief," Charles said.

Every day, Nabatanzi has to buy 10 kg of cornmeal, 4 kg of sugar and 3 bars of soap to serve the family's living needs. She now works as a clean water collector and distributor to earn enough money to support her children.

In addition, to support her family, this mother also does some other jobs such as hairdressing for the bride, decorating events ... "I'm not picky about any job, as long as it makes money. The children are God's gifts to me, and I will do my best for them," she said.

Although she did not receive a decent education, she was very focused on her children's education: "I hope the children all go to school, they dream of becoming doctors, teachers, lawyers. I want them to be able to pursue their dreams, which I didn't do."
