Assuming that a woman is healthy it is possible that she would be able to produce one
baby approximately every nine month from the moment she was fertile to the moment she
stopped becoming fertile.
The average woman begins to be fertile around the age of 15 and fertility stops at about the age of 55. With this in mind it would be possible for a woman to be fertile for 40 years. It would also be possible for a woman to become pregnant 53 times during her fertile period. If this happened, the minimum amount of babies she would produce would be 53. However, it is quite possible that the woman could have twins, triplets or even quadruplets! If for example the woman became pregnant with quadruplets every nine months in her fertile life, she would have a whopping 212 babies in her life time! That’s a lot of nappies!
The world record for the greatest amount of babies born to any one woman currently goes to
the wife of Feodor Vassilyev who gave birth to 69 babies ~ 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of
triplets and four sets of quadruplets, from 1707 ~ 1782.. Only two of the children failed to
survive.
