Rare condition has made woman the world’s most prolific mother

A mom who holds the world record for the most children was warned by doctors she could suffer severe health problems if she stopped giving birth.
Mariem Nabatanzi had given birth to 44 kids by the age of 40 and was told that no family planning methods would work for her.
The woman from Uganda, East Africa, has given birth to four sets of twins, five sets of triplets, and five sets of quadruplets.
Only once did she give birth to a single child.
Six of her children died, and her husband abandoned her and ran off with all the family’s money, leaving Mariem with 38 children – 20 boys and 18 girls – to raise single-handedly.
Mariem was married off when she was only 12 years old after her parents sold her and soon after she fell pregnant, giving birth to her first child at the age of just 13.
Fertility rates are far higher in Uganda, where the average is 5.6 children per woman, according to the World Bank.
That’s more than double the world average of 2.4 children.
But Mariem – dubbed ‘Mama Uganda’ in her home country – soon realized that she was unlike other women.
quote:
When she kept having twins, triplets, and quadruplets, she went to a health clinic.
Doctors told her that she had abnormally large ovaries which led to a condition called hyperovulation.
She was told that birth control wouldn’t work, and would likely cause severe health problems.
Treatments do exist for hyperovulation, but they are hard to come by in rural Uganda.
As Dr. Charles Kiggundu, a gynecologist at Mulago Hospital in Uganda’s capital Kampala told The Daily Monitor, the most likely cause of Mariem’s extreme fertility was hereditary.
“Her case is a genetic predisposition to hyper-ovulate – releasing multiple eggs in one cycle – which significantly increases the chances of having multiple births,” he said.
Today at 43, she says she was told to stop having children three years ago following her last birth.
She said the doctor told her he had “cut my uterus from inside”.
Speaking through a translator to filmmaker Joe Hattab, Mariem said: “It was god’s grace to want to give me [so] many children.”
She said she was forced into marriage at age 12 against her will after her parents sold her for the dowry.
Mariem added that doctors told her she was too fertile and that she needed to keep giving birth in order to reduce fertility levels in her ovaries.
She was told that no family planning method would work for her and that giving birth was the only way to “ease” her body.
According to Mayo Clinic, a US private health company with offices around the world: “Severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is uncommon, but can be life-threatening.”
Other complications can include fluid buildup in the abdomen or chest, blood clots, kidney failure, twisting of the ovary, or breathing problems.
quote:
All of her children are from her often-absent husband who finally left her in 2016, the same year that she gave birth to her youngest child.
Speaking through a translator, one of her sons told Joe Hattab that his mother is his “hero”.
Today, Mariem and her brood live in four cramped houses made of cement blocks with corrugated iron roofs in a village surrounded by coffee fields 31 miles north of Kampala.
She told Joe Hattab that a “kind woman” had donated some bunk beds for her children after her husband left her, but it can still get pretty cramped, with 12 in one room sleeping two to a mattress.

To think what if all of her daughters have the same issue. Uganda could take over the worlds population in no time.

The issue is can’t take birth control. If my wife had the same issue you’d never know. This lady just happens to love dick.

Wow she is so brave to keep producing kids with a rare condition that could kill her I'M sure if she died there would be many more to fill in for her on producing to many kids.

Why do most of these children have the face of a 30 year old? I guess if you have to battle 30+ siblings for a sandwich it ages you fast.
Nothing to see here, folks, keep moving.

So why not just remove the ovaries? Not like she has to worry about having kids?

Quotes from that article are contrary to each other.
That said, why not have a hysterectomy?

Why can't this happen to nice Scandinavian women?
I am going to flat say it, we need more of this gene pool running around. Not what is in OP

You’re crossing the line here. I know you to be a good poster, but eugenics is evil.
