World Record! Meet The Ugandan Woman Who Gave Birth To 38 Children!

A 37-year-old Ugandan woman, living in Kabimbiri village, Mukono District, outside of Kampala, has made a world record for having 38 children.

According to the Daily Monitor of Uganda, the woman identified as Mariam Nabatanzi Babirye had her last baby via Caesarian section in December 2016, after which doctors cut her uterus from inside.

She’s had six sets of twins, four sets of triplets, three sets of quadruplets and single births. Ten of these are girls and the rest are boys. The oldest is 23 years old while the youngest is four months.

The Monitor said she was married at the age of 12 in 1993, to a man who was 40 years old.

‘I did not know I was being married off. People came home and brought things for my father. When time came for them to leave, I thought I was escorting my aunt but when I got there, she gave me away to the man.’

In 1994, when she was 13, Nabatanzi gave birth to twins. Two years later, she gave birth to triplets and a year and seven months after that, she added a set of quadruplets.

This, she says was nothing strange to her because she had seen it before in her lineage.

‘My father gave birth to 45 children with different women and these all came in quintuplets, quadruples, twins and triplets,’ said the woman, who is called by fellow villagers as Nalongo Muzaala Bana, meaning ‘the twin mother that produces quadruplets’.

Charles Kiggundu, a gynaecologist at Mulago Hospital and President of gynaecologists and obstetricians, said it was very possible for Nabatanzi to have taken after her father.

‘Her case is genetic predisposition to hyper-ovulate (releasing multiple eggs in one cycle), which significantly increases the chance of having multiples; it is always genetic,’ he explained.

The doctor told Nabatanzi that she could not be stopped then because she had a high ovary count which would eventually kill her if she stopped.

‘Having these unfertilised eggs accumulate pose not only a threat to destroy the reproductive system but can also make the woman lose her life,’ Ahmed Kikomeko from Kawempe General Hospital explained.

‘I was advised to keep producing since putting this on hold would mean death. I tried using the Inter Uterine Device (IUD) but I got sick and vomited a lot, to the point of near death. I went into a coma for a month,’ she said.

At the age of 23 with 25 children, she went back to hospital to try to stop producing more babies. ‘I was checked in at Mulago Hospital and advised to continue producing since the ovary count was still high.’

A Uganda County Councillor, Samari Musenero said Mariam Nabatanzi from Kabimbiri village, about 50 kilometres north-east of the capital Kampala, had all the children with the same man.

‘The woman is struggling to support her offspring because she receives no financial assistance from the father of the children,’ the politician said.

He explained that politicians from the district had mobilised government funds to provide Nabatanzi with maize seeds to plant.

In her words,

“So I went to have dinner at one CALI RESTAURANT Abi what they call the place😂😂😂 omo they said I’m dressed indecently and I can’t enter o. WTF!!!!!”

In the clip, Phyna wore a revealing black jumpsuit paired with a bold burgundy afro wig. Her outfit quickly sparked debate among her followers.

Some users criticised her choice of attire, arguing that it was inappropriate for the restaurant’s standards. Others defended the establishment’s decision, stating that enforcing dress codes is their right.

“If you wear a hookers uniform, be prepared to be treated like one,” wrote a user.

“The owner has every right to set rules for their business premises,” said another.

“So another hotel the other day that brought something for the lady to cover her self….Great one…If all these restaurants will start doing this, it will definitely be a big step to correcting this error in the society,” someone else wrote.

The post generated mixed reactions, highlighting contrasting views on personal style and public expectations. The incident fuelled a broader conversation about dress norms and the balance between individual expression and venue policies.

Recall that Phyna dropped her surname and publicly disowned her family on her X page recently. She said that she was tossed around relatives’ homes as a child, adding that she should’ve suspected foul play all along.

5 Fashion Mistakes Men Make That Women Find Unattractive

Fashion Mistakes Guys Make That Turn Women Off | fab.ng

Fashion mistakes guys make can be a common pitfall for many of them. One of the biggest mistakes is wearing clothes that don’t fit properly. Ill-fitting clothes can make you look sloppy and unkempt. It’s important to find clothes that fit well and flatter your body type.

Another common fashion mistake is neglecting grooming. This includes everything from keeping your hair trimmed to maintaining good hygiene. A well-groomed man is always more attractive than one who isn’t.

Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles. While it’s important to find a style that suits you, don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. By avoiding these common fashion mistakes, you can improve your overall style and look your best.

Men should prioritize:

Clean clothing
Proper fit
Quality accessories
Personal grooming
Confident presentation

Style represents self-respect. Attract potential partners through intentional fashion choices.

1. Oversized or ill-fitting clothes

Baggy jeans, sagging pants, or overly large shirts can give the impression of laziness or a lack of attention to appearance. Ill-fitting clothes not only distort your silhouette but also fail to complement your body type.

On the other end of the spectrum, overly tight outfits that restrict movement can look unnatural. Finding clothes that fit well and enhance your proportions shows effort and confidence.

2. Dirty or Worn-Out Shoes

Shoes are often one of the first things people notice. Scuffed, dirty, or outdated footwear can ruin an otherwise polished look.

Women appreciate clean and stylish shoes that match the occasion, whether it’s sleek dress shoes, casual loafers, or crisp sneakers. Regular shoe maintenance goes a long way in making a good impression.

3. Overdoing Accessories

While accessories can enhance an outfit, going overboard with flashy jewellery, large belts, or loud patterns can feel overwhelming. A cluttered look can detract from your overall appearance and personality.

Stick to a few understated, classic accessories like a quality watch or a simple bracelet to keep things balanced and stylish.

4. Wearing wrinkled or stained clothes

Clothing that looks unkempt signals carelessness. Wrinkled shirts or stains, even small ones, suggest a lack of attention to detail.

Taking the time to iron your clothes and ensure they’re clean shows that you value presentation and take pride in your appearance.

5. Inappropriate Dressing for the Occasion

Wearing gym clothes to a dinner date or showing up in a suit to a casual hangout can send the wrong message. Dressing appropriately for the setting shows social awareness and respect for the people you’re with.

Pay attention to dress codes and find ways to incorporate your style within the boundaries of the occasion.

Fashion is a reflection of your personality and how much you value self-presentation. Avoiding these common fashion mistakes guys make can elevate your style and make a positive, lasting impression.
