Mariam Nabatanzi, a 40-year-old woman from Uganda’s Mukono District has been dubbed the African country’s most fertile woman after it was reported that she has given birth to 44 children.

In her home village of Kabimbiri, central Uganda, Mariam Nabatanzi is known as Nalongo Muzaala Bana (the twin mother that produces quadruplets) and that nickname is well-earned. In the 18 years that she spent being pregnant throughout her 40 year life, the woman has given birth to six sets of twins, four sets of triplets, three sets of quadruples, as well as a few single births. Out of the 44 children that she brought into this world, 38 are still alive today, most of them still living at the family home. Mariam is a single mother, and although providing for such a large family, she somehow manages to put enough food on the table for everyone.

Dr. Charles Kiggundu, a gynecologist at Mulago Hospital, in Kampala, Uganda, told the Daily Monitor that the cause of Mariam’s extreme fertility is most likely genetic: “Her case is genetic predisposition to hyper-ovulate (releasing multiple eggs in one cycle), which significantly increases the chance of having multiples; it is always genetic.”

What is the go fund me for?
To sterilize her
Or her husband?

What a strange lifestyle. Her husband comes by once a year in the dead of night, which was enough to give her that many pregnancies and children.

She feeds all of them (do they all still live at home?) by selling herbs and braiding hair. Fortunately food seems to be very cheap there.

She asked doctors for birth control or tubal ligation for years and they denied her. She didn't choose all of the insanity.

Although it seems to me that many of her kids need to grow up and move out on their own.

No abortion clinics, horrible reproductive health and pregnancy counseling availability rates, country not even fifty years off from a civil war, still building economic independence, highly Catholic population (pope doesn't believe in abortion or condoms), and girls married off early.

Yes, I believe it.

Couldn't doctor remove her ovaries?

Also, some of her children are grown a$$ people who should be contributing and/or supporting themselves.

That is a medical treatment which isn't free and sterilization is now a very prohibited procedure as if was used for far too long on as a tactic against disenfranchised communities.

How would you like it if I went to West Virginia and told every woman with more than 5 kids and living in a trailer to line up to get her ovaries snipped?

She asked for it repeatedly. Also, she doesn't live in West Virginia.

I bet you also are either on the pill or have permanent birth control methods (shot/injection/IUD). Not to mention the fack that if you live in the D.C. area there are no less than 15 abortion clinics in a 20 mile radius.

Men in that area of the world also expect their wives to provide sex as a part of the marriage. There's no 'no' or I don't feel well or you need to give me a back rub first. If he wants sex, that's what he gets.

No, she asked for tubal ligation which is different. Removing reproductive organs is another level.

And if you're going to expend basic courtesy and respect to poor mothers living on food stamps and in trailers in Appalachia, the same should be said for poor mothers in impoverished villages and countries around the world.

Sorry, I don't see too much courtesy in 39 living children. Especially since she asked the doctors (who were apparently about as ignorant as she was) to prevent pregnancies from very early on.

Not having access to economic support or willing reproductive health clinics (like Planned Parenthood in the US) is not ignorance, its just sad. Be grateful for you have and stop trying to shame her.

It's an example of how restricting access to birth control is used to control women. She has no choices. She can't divorce, she can't refuse her husband, she can't get birth control. I feel incredibly sorry for her.
