Francine shared her unique tale in an interview with Afrimax, revealing that she has a rare genetic disorder called hyper-ovulation that allows her to release several eggs throughout each menstrual cycle, which accounts for her exceptional fertility. The chance of having twins, triplets, or more is greatly increased by this.
After becoming pregnant with her first kid, Kambale, at the age of 16, Francine explained, she started having children.
” We decided to put mattresses on the floor the older children those who are big boys and girls and can’t share a room with the litle ones sleep on the sofas in the sitting room that is why we managed to buy long sofa at-least for them to use as bed at night
How many food she cooks everyday to satisfy her 53 children, she added: “As you can see you cant even tell who is who even my grand children come to spend their day here and they have to feed them too everyday i use more than 25kg of cornmeal and 7 kilograms of beans to make sure all my children and grandchildren are well fed
Narrating on how she started having child bearing, she said: “When i was 16 I met a man he told me he loved me and i got pregnant with my first borm kambale but he left me maybe he wasn’t ready at 19 i met my husband the love of my life together we had 52 children Unfortunately, my husband passed away two months ago…He was the most incredible and strongest man i have ever known.
How did she give birth to these children, she said: ” If i stopped giving birth i could die I was born with a genetic condition named Hyper-ovulation which releases more than one egg in a cycle this significantly increases the chance of having twins triplets quadruplets or even quintruplets.
“At my 12th child i went to see a doctor he told me i have to keep giving birth to reduce my fertility otherwise tumors could form in my ovaries and kill me in a short time so my husband and i kept having children to save my life.
“I gave birth to all 53 children in just 17 pregnancies here is how, I had quintruplets twice quadruplets three times triplets 4 times twins 5 times and single birth 3 times that is 53 children from 17 pregnancies and thanks to God all my children are all alive “
Her firstborn son, Kambale, expressed his concerns: “It is a shame my job isnt sustainable I wish i could help my mother more this is too much
“I have 52 siblings i can’t even remember all their names or faces sometimes i meet a little one on the streets and i dont even realize they are my siblings until they call me and introduce themselves we are too many.”
Her 6th children said: “I am the 6th born of 53 children and most of our siblings are married now and my mother has more than 10 grandchildren.
