I too do not know the full history of this-nine babies- nothing was said in the news flash I saw and I have not researched it hence me thinking the mother has no control over the number of babies.
I will look it up now though.

It was said by an attending Dr, that there had been no fertility treatment but IVF was mentioned in another article .
So—— ?
However ,the pressure on a woman to have children in a country like hers ,would be very strong.
Gosh ,only a pound or so each!

One of my great-great grandmothers was the 6th daughter of eight girls and also had a stillborn twin.
 Six out of the eight lived to adulthood and two died during childhood.
She also had 3 half-sisters and 2 half-brothers from her father's first marriage!
She would go on to have 12 children herself, 4 boys and 2 girls in her first marriage and 4 girls and 2 boys in the second marriage.

My grandfather - the eldest child had six younger sisters - their mother my g-grandmother if asked how many children she had would reply I have six daughters and each one has a brother.

Those seven children between them produced seven children between them in the next generation and in the following generation there were only seven children.
