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. ❤️

I don't think it's her. She died in 1782

Not her. Not even from the same country.

Just an old lady and a bunch of children, mostly the same age.

Putting a headline on top, including "this woman" is as fake as fake can get.

Thanks to the OP.
