Many of you are wondering how a woman can have 44 babies. There is a reason for that too. Mariam Nabatansi is known as ‘Mama Uganda’ all over the world. Maryam is the most fertile woman in the world.
At the age of 41, Mariam had 44 children. The challenge for Maryam is the warning of the doctors that stopping the delivery will cause her to develop a fatal disease. Mariam, who lives in Uganda, East Africa, gave birth at the age of 13. Three babies were born that day.
Maryam gave birth four times to twins, five times to four children and as many times to three children. Only once did Maryam give birth to a single child. Six of these babies died. Mariam is having babies because she is going through a rare condition called hyperovulation.
Normally women release only one egg during ovulation. This is not the case with Maryam. Two and three eggs are released. Therefore, Maryam had to give up her desire to stop childbearing at the age of 18 when doctors told her that stopping childbirth would cause serious health problems.

Mariam said in an interview given to the international media, Reuters, that she was forced into marriage at the age of 12. Maryam’s parents were selling her in the marriage market. Maryam had a tragic life after marriage. Harassment by her husband and continuous childbirths had weakened Maryam. After her husband left her in 2016, Maryam is struggling to make ends meet with 44 children.
They work hard to raise children.
Today Mariam and her children live in four narrow houses made of cement blocks with iron roofs in a village surrounded by coffee plantations 31 miles north of Kampala.
12 people sleep on 12 double mattresses in one room. Maryam says, ‘I spent my entire life looking after my children and earning some money. Maryam’s wish is to give good education to all her children. The eldest daughter studied and became a nurse. Now she lives in Russia with her husband. One son is a mechanical engineer. The rest of the children are studying in universities and schools.
