Those African countries are going to be screwed if this happens
If your great-great-grandparents each had 5 kids for example, and each of their kids had 3, that's a lot of population growth that's going to happen even if your grandparents and parents and yourself only have 2. Because it takes decades for the wider populations to move through the population pyramid.
In fact, we have nearly reached the point of "peak child" (the time in history with the highest number of children on earth). (By nearly reached I mean we're at about that number, 1.9 billion. It may be decades before we technically hit the peak but the number itself won't be much higher.)
But the growth won't go on forever (probably).
