My MIL is one of 14 which probably isn't that big a deal, but in the paper today, one guy stated that his grandmother had 27 full term babies. The difference here is .... as Curious noted in other cases ... these children were all conceived and born by natural means, and were all supported by the family that gave birth to them. None of them were subsidised by the govt or as it boils down, the rate payers of the country.

I too am glad that your mom is doing well.
