A
37-year-old mother in Kabimbiri village, Mukono District in Uganda has given
birth to 38 children. Villagers have given the mother, Mariam Nabatanzi
Babirye, the nickname of Nalongo Muzaala Bana, which means “the twin mother who
produces quadruplets.”

Mariam has six sets of twins, four sets of
triplets, three sets of quadruplets and two single births.
In
a recent interview with a Ugandan daily, she said: “My father gave birth
to 45 children with different women and (they) all came in quintuplets,
quadruplets, twins and triplets.”
Dr Charles Kiggundu, a gynecologist at Mulago Hospital confirms that Mariam may have taken after her father, as her case may be genetic.
