If she was less than 43, and having one a year, she must have started at 12 or 13. That's often biologically possible, but one or more multiple births seems more likely. I don't suppose that any of the search engines will allow you to select for birth certificates for twins as a primary search term?

The June qr totals 156 births for Watford, Herts (some are entry double-ups). Here are the multiples (some from different families/cousins with some probably born after the census was taken).
Emma Baldwin 1851 Apr-May-Jun Watford Hertfordshire tw

Edward Wellen Barrett 1851 Apr-May-Jun Watford Hertfordshire
James Barrett 1851 Apr-May-Jun Watford Hertfordshire tw
John Barrett 1851 Apr-May-Jun Watford Hertfordshire tw
(Ag lab of Rickmansworth)
Henry Belch 1851 Apr-May-Jun Watford Hertfordshire
Sarah Belch 1851 Apr-May-Jun Watford Hertfordshire

So I would conclude our good lady did not have a multiple birth on this occassion. Either that, or she is hidden in a census in another county.
