Mother’s Day will be here before you know it and in honor of moms everywhere, we stop to recognize some pretty incredible mothers.

Most surviving children from a single birth

This dubious honor goes to the infamous ‘Octomom’, Nadya Doud-Suleman, who gave birth to octuplets in 2009.  The super-birth brought her grand total of kiddos to a whopping 14.

Most productive surrogate

Carole Horlock, 42, has given the gift of parenthood to many lucky British couples.  As the world’s most prolific surrogate, Horlock has had 12 children in the past 13 years, including a set of triplets born in 2008.

First male mother

There are plenty of great dads out there but Thomas Beatie – who was born a woman – became the world’s first male mother in 2008.  Beatie and his wife Nancy now have three children, all of whom he gave birth to.

Youngest mother ever

Peruvian preschooler Lina Medina gave birth to a healthy baby boy in 1939, when she was just five years old.

Oldest first-time mom

In November 2008 an Indian woman named Rajo Devi Lohan gave birth to her first child.  Lohan was 70 years young.

Oldest mom of multiples

At the age of 70, Omkari Panwar gave birth to twin boys, adding the first male heirs to her family. The family includes two adult daughters and five grandchildren, who are all older than their uncles.

Longest stretch between diaper changes

Elizabeth Buttle is a mom of two.  This is nothing special, right?  Consider this: Buttle’s first child, Belinda, was born in 1956; her second, Joseph, was born in 1997.
