So how many children have you got? Who's got the most?

[Disenchanted]

I wonder who has the most children on here

[suzywong]

yes, what is the benchmark? What's the criterion?
do the five-childed look down upon the merely four-childed?
how does it work?

[Nemoandthefishes]

I have 3 want a no.4 but would say I have 5 if you count dh..he accounts for at least 2 toddlers in behaviour

[pedilia]

This thread was done recenlty and I am sure there is someonw here with 9 but can't remember any names

Anyone read 'call the midvies'?

Theres a lady in that book (true story about midwiffery in the 1950's) and she had 25 children by 40!

The 25th was born prematurely and surrvived by staying between its mothers breasts and having breastmilk from a spoon every 30 minutes!

[Disenchanted]

midwives that was supposed to be obviously!

[Lulumama]

i;ve read it, that story made me weep!

i think Juuule has 8 or 9 DCs

i have 2

and that is the way it is going to stay !

[TheDuchessOfNorksBride]

juule has 9. I'm sure someone else has 8. Largegin&tonic was talking about no. 7 earlier. A surprising number have 6.

I'm just a poor relation. No. 4 not due for another 8 weeks (and it's my last).

[Disenchanted]

I think I want 5.

Lord knows why but I do.

[Immaculateconception]

4 kids here

[NeverSayNever]

7 but not all at home and 1 of them I inherited from Dh, my lovely Dsd, who lives with us.

[brimfull]

Not a mumsnetter (well I don't think she is?) but a woman in our town has 17 children,they all look very similar.Last were twins about 2 months ago.

[magnolia74]

5
A lottery win would mean more though

[BellaDonna79]

I have 5 but I had them all in under 4 years though
Would like another couple in about 10 years I think...

[AlwaysTheMummy]

Hubby and me have 2 together but he also has 2 from prev relationship, they live with their mum although we see them very regularly xx

[pedilia]

21

She must have been pregnant for all of her adult life! what size house does she live in?

[3NAB]

I have been wondering about asking who had the most for ages. How much are we up too?

[mrbojangles]

Just a small 4 here

[juuule]

This always makes my jaw drop -

"The mother who gave birth to the most children was the wife of Russian Feodor Vassilyev. Her 69 children included 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets."

From the Guinness Book of Records.



I have a mere 9.

[TheDuchessOfNorksBride]

Just another 61 to go for the record then juule?

M. Vassilyev never had a singleton birth in 27 pregnancies. Do you think her pelvic floor held up...?

[juuule]

Do you think she was upset that she didn't make it to a nice, even 70?
Bit of an uneven number 69, isn't it?

[pedilia]

69

that is crazy, how would you even remember their names??
