33-year-old Nadia Suleiman from California gave birth to 2009 children at the same time in 8. All babies were born healthy. Nadia got pregnant using IVF (in vitro fertilization), the doctors did not expect such a result, and until the last time they were sure that there were 7 embryos, and not 8. Usually in such cases, doctors recommend removing some embryos to give a chance to survive and develop normally to others. However, Nadia refused such an operation and was determined to endure all 8 babies. Six boys and two girls weighing from 820 to 1540 grams were born on 9 weeks ahead of time. In the operation of cesarean section 46 (!) Physicians took part.
In addition to these children, Nadia already had 6 children between the ages of 2 and 7, among whom there are a couple of twins. Thus, Nadia Suleiman became the mother of 14 children right away. The reaction of the public was rather ambiguous, some claimed that she was a heroine, and there were those who accused Nadia of mercantile spirit.
The California Miracle was 8 in the world officially registered case of the birth of 8 children (the first was in 1976 year in Mexico). In previous 7, not all babies survived.
2. The youngest mom in history
In 1939, a baby was born weighing in 2 kg 700 g of the youngest mother in the world. She became Lina Vanessa Medina. Lina's age at the time of birth was ... 5 years and 7 months. The case is officially documented in Peru. The parents of the baby did not know about her interesting position. Initially, they were confident that the cause of the increase in the abdomen of the daughter is a tumor. During the inspection it turned out that the child was in the 7 month of pregnancy. A month and a half later, a boy was produced by caesarean section. The incredible incident was officially documented, and Lina Medina was recognized as the youngest mother in the history of medicine.
3. The oldest mom in the world
Rajo Devi Lohan gave birth to her first child in 2008 after 40 years of waiting, at the age of 70. Rajo Devi Lohan and Baba Rama, residents of the village of Aleva in northern India, got married when she was 12 and he was 14. According to the “young” parents, from this age they dreamed of having children, but everything did not work out, despite Baba's efforts ... Since a family without children is considered almost a curse by the Hindus, the newlyweds turned to the healers, who filled the spouses with all kinds of drugs, which were of no use anyway. Baba was regularly advised to disperse with Rajo and find himself a worthy spouse who could bear him many children, but Rama hoped for a miracle. After 58 years of unsuccessful joint efforts to conceive a child, the couple finally turned to mainstream science, which has long found a way to solve this problem. The couple accidentally saw on TV a story about IVF (in vitro fertilization). This service is not cheap (in India it costs about $ 3), especially for rural residents.
By the end of the pregnancy I almost had a miscarriage, but being in the clinic saved the situation. During labor, a ruptured uterus occurred, which had consequences later.
Nun's daughter was born in 2008 by means of a caesarean section and remains in good health until today. Dad said that when new buffaloes grow up and harvest rice, he will go to the city to get another child - I want a boy. At the time of delivery Rajo was 70 years old. The baby was born completely healthy. Childbirth greatly undermined Rajo's health, but she did not regret her action, since in India, where she came from, childlessness is considered a sin. The world community did not approve of its decisions, and even Indian doctors suggested applying sanctions to the doctor who took such a bold step.

Alas, the age of both did not stand still, and when the long-awaited day came, Omkari had already turned 70 years. However, this did not frighten anyone - and Omkari herself and her husband knew perfectly well what they were going to.

“Doctors in the UK warned that I’d better give up the idea of getting pregnant again, because I have to risk my life in order to carry the child. In addition, I have given birth more 10 times in my life, which greatly increases the possibility of preeclampsia, bleeding and other complications, ”Horlock told reporters.
Carol first became a surrogate mother in 1995, when she was 27 years old. At that time, she worked in the laundry room and could barely make ends meet, so she decided to surrogate motherhood.
Horlock keeps in touch with the new families of her babies, but her family could not come to terms with this state of affairs. It is known that Carol's own father even stopped communicating with his daughter because of this.
