Women with more children in the story.

With "only" 27 pregnancies broke all records in the story.




This amazing and incredible brand nineteenth century, and its protagonist was a Russian woman, Mrs. Vassilet, who lived between 1816 and 1872. It was the woman with more children of history, and was the wife of the peasant Fyodor Vassilet (or Feodor Vassilet) of Shuya, a farm 150 kilometers from Moscow. Unfortunately not preserved the name of the lady, so we can only call it that, Mrs. Vassilet.

The poor lady had 27 pregnancies, but if this is already amazing, but even that is the data that follows: in these pregnancies had 16 pairs of twins, 7 times gave birth to triplets, and 4 cases had quadruplet. Of the 69 children, 67 survived, a feat for the time.
This means that she was pregnant for more than 20 years of his life ... and that also never had a single child only. She must think that total, since I will be a mother, because I have so many and I saving me some labor.

In addition, and to the surprise, most of the children came when the woman already had a certain age, which was not easy or common in those days.
But the father also deserves mention, Feodor Vassilet because not content with his feat ... more married again, but his second wife "only" had 18 more children, eight pregnancies result of the unfortunate wife.
The extraordinary fertility of Mrs. Vassilet was so well known that even the Tsar Alexander II granted a hearing in his court. Descendants of the family still live in Russia, and enjoy some government favors.
Experts say that the truth of the case is beyond doubt, and that there is substantial evidence both from the Imperial Academy of St. Petersburg and the French Academy, so ... no, not an urban legend, but a real data ... as life itself.
