“I am difficult. Especially now, because I am not young,”- the most important mother of Ukraine told how she really lives … In the Rivne region a woman gave birth to a 19th child. Svetlana Kovalevich from the village of Glinna, Rokytne district, 45 years. Her older son is 27 years old and less than a week younger. The 19th, the child was born on the day of Svetlana Peter’s husband. He, by the way, was present on the polls. The weight of the newly agreed – 3 kilograms of 900 grams, height – 62 centimeters. Like the previous 18 times, Svetlana was on herself.

Having given birth to the 19th child, the woman set a record-now she is the most important mother in the Rivne region. Correspondents of the publication to contact Svetlana on the phone shortly after her discharge from the house. – Both I and the baby feel good, – Svetlana Kovalevich told correspondents. – The son was called Nazar. The name was invented in advance-the ultrasound at the 28th week showed that the boy would be. So now we have 11 girls and 8 boys in the family. Varity proceeded normally. I am already an experienced mom, I know my body well. It can be said that weightiness – it is familiar to me (laughs).

Although, of course, to bear the first child at the age of 18 and 19 in 44 (I have given Nazar a few days before the 45th anniversary)-two big differences. It’s hard for me, I’m tired faster. It’s hard for me. Especially now, because I am not young, ”- the largest mother of Ukraine told how she really lives… Thank God that the plologies have passed normally. I feed Nazarchyk Gpuda, but he has so good appetite that we have to eat mixtures. This is not surprising- he is a big boy.

Світлана перераховує всіх своїх дітей по старшинству: 27-річний Ігор, 26-річний Леонід, 24-річна Наталія, 23-річний Руслан, 21-річна Тетяна, 20-річна Людмила, 19-річний Олег, 18-річна Валентина, 17- річна Іра, 15-річна Галя, 13-річна Оля, 12-річний Вадим, 11-річний Вітя, десятирічна Юля, Eight -year -old Alina, four -year -old Zhenya, three -year -old Nelya, a half -year -old Nastya and the youngest Nazar. – I gave birth to the first child at the age of 18, – says Svetlana Kovalevich. – Since then, we have children almost every year. My husband and I are trying to fulfill the commandment of God. Both I and Peter grew up in large families.

My family had eight, and my mother has 15 children. Each of these children now has a large family. It turns out that now the mother’s mother has 98 grandchildren! By the way, four of our elders already have children. Therefore, I have not only 19 children, but also 13 grandchildren. I couldn’t even imagine before the marriage that I will have so many children. For some reason, I thought I would do no more than four. Of course, it is difficult for me. Especially now, because I am not young. A few days after Nazarchyk, I was 45. Over the years, there were unsuccessful weights, three times he died, twice during the time was opened.

And all this is reflected in health. But at the same time, children are true happiness. Our children do not know what jealous or envy is. On the contrary, they are looking forward to the appearance of a new child. When I was waiting for Nazar this time, the younger was asked: “Mom, when will he appear?” Even our table, which is only one and a half years old now, does not depart from the newly -owned brother. She is a smart, she walks and talks for ten months. Already, he calls all family members by name. Older girls help the farm. We also have a cow, a pig, and chickens. We live at the expense of our farm.

And in the summer, people and older children are engaged in seasonal work – they collect berries for sale. When they go to collect berries, I am especially not easy – I remain alone with young children, and at me the whole house. It is necessary to put order, feed cattle, cook breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is necessary to prepare constantly and in very large volumes. For lunch, the first is a bucket of borscht or soup, which usually goes in a day. If dumplings, then at least 200 pieces at a time. If we make twists, then the jars are 300, no less. From stocks to the winter you need at least 70 bags with potatoes. There is nothing unusual for us, we are used to.

But the more children help, the better. We get up in the morning, cook for our family breakfast. While everyone eats, it’s time to cook lunch. Svetlana Kovalevich and her husband do not exclude the birth of the twentieth child. – We cannot tell, – says Svetlana. -But I can not say that I want it very much-still health is no longer the same, I am difficult. Many say: they say, where the nineteenth, there, and the twentieth. I don’t know. How God will give. According to Svetlana, she is already well known in the district hospital at the district hospital. – I am a permanent patient, – says the woman.

– After the stories on television about our family, I began to recognize not only in the hospital but also on the street. I am even uncomfortable. Someone sincerely wishes us good, and someone is surprised, may laugh … People are different. Although just for our village many children in the family is the norm. We mostly live believers, all large families. Glynne in the Rivne region is recognized as the largest village in Europe. There is three times higher than the average in Ukraine. A record number of women who have been awarded the title of “mother-heroine” lives in Glynny.

TV channel journalists were taken to glynne bioenergy and psychics to solve the mystery of high birth rates. There are also local legends. For example, an oak legend that has been over 1350 years old. This oak is located in the Josefin tract, and it is still fruitful. According to local belief, this oak gives life -giving power. The locals have a tradition – to hug the oak on the day of marriage so that the family has children. After the high birth rate in Glinny told the media, couples from other regions of Ukraine that dream of children began to go to the oldest oak
