Mariam Nabatanzi was just 13 when she became to her first set of twins. By the time she was just 36 Mariam had given birth to another 42 babies, which she is having to raise alone after her husband walked out on the giant family.

Now 41, Mariam has been told she suffers from a rare genetic condition, which means she kept having multiple births - despite begging doctors for help when she was just 23.
