How many babies is the human being capable of birthing?

Is there a record holder for the most children in a family? How many children could the average women have if she made it her job to produce children? I am not saying that it is the duty or job of any one woman to have children and I do know that it takes more than just one parent to make and raise a baby (even though many in this world have only a single parent). I just want to know if there is some sort of strange facts around this?

Answer #1

In theory a woman can start having children from the beginning of ovulation and her period, have 1 every 9 months. I assume you’re not asking what the chances of survial or of multiple births are, but lets just say a 12 year is our girl in questions, and she has her menstral cycle until she’s 57. so she has 45 years of fertility, she could in theory have 60 children back to back to back, this is not taking into account any miscarriages, or multi[ple births.

However no there’s no preset limit to the number of children a person can have

Answer #2

The most prolific mother in history was a Russian peasant who had 69 children in the 18th century, 67 of which survived infancy.

Between 1725 and 1765, she endured 27 multiple births, which included 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets, and four sets of quadruplets.

The modern world record for giving birth is held by LeontinaAlbinafrom San Antonio, Chile. Now in her mid-sixties, she claims to be the mother of 64 children. Of these, 55 are documented, birth certificates apparently being something of a less-than-serious concern in Chile.
