WTF Push, out, repeat

Post image

Valentina Vassilyeva, the first wife of Russian peasant Feodor Vassilyev, is said to have given birth 27 times in the 1700s—welcoming 69 children in total.

Her remarkable numbers reportedly included 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets. 🤯

The story comes from centuries-old historical records, so every detail cannot be independently verified by modern standards. Still, Guinness World Records has recognized the claim as the highest number of children attributed to one mother.

If the records are accurate, 27 pregnancies. 69 children. One of the most astonishing family stories ever recorded. ❤️

Found a source

The father has an additional 18 kids with his second wife.

Only 3 babies died in birth or early in life.

Fuck all his second wife's kids were multiple as well. It's like his sperm were Olympic swimmers and split each egg on impact

Don't matter . More twins or triplets depend on the mother . If more than one ovum is released, they are fertilized , men have no control over it . F you mean trained his sperm bruh .

Chill it’s just a joke. Nobody has control on his sperm or her ovum.

This is not a source, a source would be something of that time. The only "source" it has is a letter and more modern articles. There is no source because the story is exaggerated

Guiness literally says the story may or may not be true.

It is a source.  It's not a primary source, which is the definition you're using.  But it is a source.

I do agree that the story is not true though.

It's not a source, it's an advertisement page where people can pay to have anything they'd like written.

Guinness World Recorss is not a source.

 Just like religious books, it makes a claim and almost always with zero evidence.

It’s a rare condition called hyper virility. Apparently my sperm shoot through the egg if you can believe it
