I dont know if anyone started thread already. I just spotted this on DM
39 year old with 13children expecting 14th and there will be more coming.
I love big family, but after having two, we decided two is just enough but this seems abnormal, having twins or triplets is kind of her destiny

Disguss! What do you think? Would you have as many as her? I

Bonsoir - I'm not sure I'd "get it" even if you sat down in front of me and explain it to me in person, with lots of pictures and diagrams to illustrate

Agree, that regardless tax credits, benefits etc... The worrying part is the idea of keep having children till twins and triplets happen, isnt it?
I dont know if she needs mental checkalso can she physically ok to have more babies, god know how mnay more she will have till the ned.

Im oddly amused that apparently Baudelaire was not just named after Baudelaire

Statistics are a bit against her though
Chances of having twins are quoted about 3% -eg 3 cases in every hundred pregnancies
and are associated with a variety of factors - eg hyperovulation, family history of twins, ethnic origin, age, IVF, geographical area, weight etc and it doenst sound as though she has any of the obvious predisposing factors at present

Chances of having a spontaneous triplet pregnancy are approx 1:8100
Chances of having Quadruplets are apparently 1:729000

Still, its better odds than playing the lottery
Probably more fun too

But the DM comments are horrendous- never heard so many spit-frothing calls for sterilisation and the workhouse in my life!
