Viral Story of the World's Most Fertile Woman, Has 44 Children at the Age of 40

Dream - Being a mother is a blessing for women. However, it cannot be denied that being a mother is not an easy matter.

Taking care of and raising one child requires mental and physical readiness. However, this does not apply to Mariem Nabatanzi.

At the age of 40, she has already given birth to and raised 44 children. This mother in Uganda has made her name in the world record as the mother with the most children.

Although her name is recorded in the world record, Mariem faces many challenges in dealing with the birth of twins, triplets, and quadruplets.

Since getting married at the age of 12 after being sold by her parents, Mariem has faced various health problems due to her high fertility rate.

One of them is severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which can threaten her life.

Nevertheless, doctors told her that giving birth is the only way to reduce her fertility rate.

Mariem faces economic limitations as well as limited medical attention in rural Uganda.

Together with her children, she lives in a small and simple house made of heavy concrete blocks with a tin roof.

Although there have been some donations from kind-hearted people, they still have to sleep in a very small bedroom.

Until now, Mariem has lost six of her children due to illness since birth.

Sadly, Mariem now has to raise all her children alone because her husband has run away.

However, despite facing various challenges, her sons consider Mariem as their hero. On the other hand, Mariem feels blessed to have many children.

Although she has to face difficult situations, Mariem continues to strive to support her family.
