You had a bunch of sex with a guy you half like, spent 9 months like a sumo wrestler, then passed a melon from your body through a hole that originally fit a tennis ball and now you have to spend the next ten years spending a fortune raising a human being, then another decade spending an even larger fortune to raise them to become an adult ....... here's a $50 medal for your effort.

There were three ranks: bronze – 4 children, silver – 6 children, and gold – 8 children. Worth to mention that all the babies had to be born alive.

Worth to mention that all the babies had to be born alive.

As in, only the alive ones counted, or a single stillbirth would invalidate your entire record?

If you mean a stillborn would invalidate your series, then no, they simply didn't count.

I'm not saying it couldn't happen concurrently, but probably consecutively.

With the wonders of life-saving vaccines for all, why should mothers need to have so many children to ensure at least a couple lived to adulthood? Oh...

Realistically it's probably neither perfectly concurrently nor consecutively. Concurrently is unlikely but possible, but no woman is fertile long enough to fully raise 6 children fully consecutively. Heck, no woman lives long enough to do that. That's 120 years not counting pregnancy.
