A pretty surprising news about a 56-year-old Nepali woman who has given birth to no less than 25 children, of which only seven have survived.
He has broken all the statistics that mark the average birth rate in that country by 3.1 children per woman. But beyond that, the funny thing is that he assures that if he could go back time he would not have a single child.
Of course, not all women live motherhood in the same way. While for some it is cause for joy, for others it is an ordeal, depending on the circumstances of each one.
Shanta Maya, the Nepalese mother, confesses that her life has been pure suffering. "Only I know how much pain I have had to endure," he laments. He belongs to the caste of tailors, one of the lowest in Hindu Nepal, and has given birth completely alone in the house farthest from the town, without assistance of a midwife or her husband's.
His first son died, then a girl was born and then seven children have died in a row. Of the 25, a single baby was born dead and the other 17 died with up to 10 months of life. Be alive where you live and how you live, for any mother it is a tremendous pain to see a child die, imagine you eighteen. You have to be very strong to survive it.
However, I am surprised that the seven living children, who are not a small thing, do not give them reason to believe in motherhood. That a woman who has had 25 children regrets being a mother is, at least, paradoxical and sad.
