What is the world's record for the most births to one woman?

Question:

Answers:
Do you mean at once or over time? The most children born to one woman in total is 69. A Russian peasant in the eighteenth century had 27 pregnancies, giving birth to 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets. And according to the book The Two-Headed Boy, and Other Medical Marvels by Jan Bondeson the largest number of children born in a single birth was 365 to Margaret of Hennenberg after she was cursed for spreading rumors. This one it's quite safe to say is just a legend but if you're interested there is an article about it here: http://www.forteantimes.com/articles/105... As for births that have actually been documented, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest multiple birth was nine babies. This occurred in Sydney in 1971 but all the babies died. As for surviving multiples the highest I have heard of was octuplets (8) in America fairly recently (2004 or 2005) where only one of the children died.
