Michelle Duggar is all smiles after delivering her 15th child, but she may be ready for more, her family says.
Mother and child were doing well, although Michelle, 37, was feeling some discomfort because the birth was her second by Caesarean section, said her mother-in-law, Mary Duggar.
"She's a trouper. She's just all smiles," Mary Duggar said.

sounds like the woman has found her calling

Not only is she only 37, but I think all the kids are still under 16 ... several sets of twins! Best wishes to the latest Duggar!
My grandma had 16 children, 2 of which died very young.
Her last one was born when she was 45!
Someone needs to tell Shawn Kemp to step it up.
""She's a trouper. She's just all smiles," Mary Duggar said."
Wow. I had my first at 35 and my second at 39. My mom had me, her fifth, at 35 and she was exhausted with the five of us most of the time. I can't imagine being a mom of 15.
My great-grandmother had 12 children over a 30 year span.
The first at 17, the last at 47.
I have mixed feeling with regards to such large families. I'm happy that they are able to and that they can successfully manage that large family. At the same time I'm angered because they don't have to live with the full responsibility, some is passed along to me.
Wonderful! This must drive CNN nuts.
I think my grandma was 19 when my oldest uncle was born.
She just died last year, 3 weeks shy of her 90th birthday.
Their children include two sets of twins, and the parents have stuck to the letter "J" for their names. There is Joshua, 16; Jana and John-David, 14; Jill, 13; Jessa, 11; Jinger, 10; Joseph, 9; Josiah, 7; Joy-Anna, 6; Jeremiah and Jedidiah, 5; Jason, 4; James, 2; and Justin, 1.
I wonder if any of her doctors has told her that medical science has figured out what causes this and that there is something she can do about it.....
Or a theater troupe. As in, the show must go on. Hence, a trouper is someone who keeps going in spite of trouble.
My great-grandmother lived to be 99.
LoL - wouldn't you think all that child-bearing would've worn them out?
Unless she is a truly practicing Catholic I am dumbfounded.
In this case, the responsibility is not passed on to you- in fact they will be taxed to pay for your (and my) social security. The family is pretty well off and they homeschool, so even your school taxes don't go to them.
