was pregnant 27 times between the years 1725 and 1765.
T w e n t y - s e v e n pregnancies over a F o r t y year span. Ugh.
But that's not all... of the 27 births,
16 were twins
7 were triplets
4 were quadruplets
If you do the math, that equals 69.
S i x t y - n i n e.
all but 2 survived infancy.

Does that mean that she had 69 children - 67 of whom lived past infancy?
Oh, my.
I would have told Mr. Vassilyev what my great-great-grandmother used to tell her amorous husband..."Why don't you go outside and see if you can pick up the corner of the house?" I'm sure she said it with a smile.
Merrie
And I thought my great great grandmother had a lot at 18 children and her husband including 4 children from his first marriage had 22.
Guess theres nothing else to do in during those long Russian winters of old than to get pregnant. :0 and ;)
I don't even know what to say....my, my, my!!
WHAT?????
Are you pregnant?
I don't know what to say about this. I am disturbed. :)
Geez Louise! I can't even imagine the laundry.
Whoever she is, she has/had my deepest sympathy. Let us hope she was rich and had many, many servants. Phew!
