A mother who’s given birth to 44 children has been barred from having any further children by her husband. In the year after she was married off at the age of twelve, Marian Nabatanzi became a mother to twins. Knowing that there were five more sets of twins, as well as four sets of triplets and five sets of quadruplets, Mariam Nabatanzi has given birth to 38 children. Six of them, unfortunately, perished as a result of her abnormally big ovaries. Her husband abandoned her three years ago, leaving her to sustain their 38 children on her own.
She’s now 39 years old and lives alone in Uganda. Her family has been forced into poverty as a result of this. A village surrounded by coffee fields 31 miles north of Kampala, is home to her and her children, who live in four small cement block cottages with corrugated iron roofs in a village surrounded by coffee fields. Doctors have intervened to prevent Miriam from having any more children now that she’s 40. She claimed that the doctor informed her that he had cut her uterus from the inside.
