For those of you who may be interested here are three 'Mothers Day Trivia' facts.

Mothers Day Trivia: Shortest Interval Between Two Children

Mothers Day Trivia: Longest Interval Between Two Children

Mothers Day Trivia: Highest Recorded Number of 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.

Interesting regarding your post on Mother's Day and my goodness that poor lady with all those children..

Jo said...

Wow, those facts are amazing. Imagine having 27 pregnancies and every single one was a multiple birth. Happy Mother's Day, I hope you have a lovely weekend. I'll be spending the day with my family tomorrow.

I can't imagine being that age and having a second child. And wow, that Russian woman sure had a lot of multiple births and so many children to care for. I think that many multiple births must be unusual. And how to get to really know any of them with any depth? Have a wonderful mother's day Jan.

Here in Portugal, Mother's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in May. Wonderful tribute to those who give infinite love, the Mothers.
I loved the flowers and the tender and beautiful poem.
Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mother's Day Jan!

Those stats are quite something.

Happy Mother's day!!!
Wow those are some interesting facts, I can't imagine having kids that close or even worse that far apart, 60 is way too old for having kids. I can't imagine having 69 kids either, you would have to get help.

Iris Flavia said...

I must admit... I am shocked about #3. That poor woman.
Enjoy your Mother´s Day! Ours is soon, too, and I sure will think of mine...
