I just read an article that cited in 2003, a whopping total of 280 gave birth to their 10th child or more.

I wonder what that number is now, and how that compares with the US.

Wow! You literally are 1 in a million (or billion?)    I already knew that though!

That would be interesting to see what it is now, if it has gone up or down.

I wonder if there are any stats on those who have given birth to other large numbers say 5 and above since that seems rare, although not around here.

The stats are somewhere. My dh did some cursory research recently and thought he determined that an overwhelming number of vocations come from families of five children or more. not sure where he got all that, though.
