Since Sue Radford first fell pregnant at 14 years old, barely a year has passed when she wasn’t expecting a baby. Now 40 years old, Sue has fallen pregnant again with what will be her 19th child.
Despite describing themselves as “adamant” they wouldn’t have more kids after their 18th child was born last June, the Radfords were content to leave the decision up to nature. In a turn of events that her husband Noel describes to The Sun as a “huge surprise” but a “brilliant start to the new year”, Sue is now expecting a baby once more.
Although the Radfords originally planned to only have three children, they told The Sun that they loved the experience so much they decided to keep going.
Watch a clip of Radford family life from the UK show 16 Kids and Counting:
On their website, the Radfords described the excitement of their other children at the big news.
“We announced our news to the children last week after having a brilliant scan, we decided to put the scan photo on the fireplace and sit back and watch to see who noticed it first,” the couple wrote online.
“Well it really didn’t take long. Tillie spotted it first and said ‘ohhhh who’s that?’ with a big grin on her face.
“We said ‘who do you think it is?’. She said ‘I need to go get Millie’ so she ran to get her and came back in, closely followed by the rest of the children.

I completely admire this family. too many people run to the state for us to pay to keep them with our tax money. this family have safeguarded themselves. the father has trained the children to bake. so if he falls sick , they can take over. how dare anybody criticize them. I watched a programme today. cant pay we will take it away. 3 families - all immigrants were evicted because they hadn't paid the rent- all blaming the council. what a surprise- they were all rehoused by the council. all had loads of kids. which we will be paying with our tax money. shame on you all for criticising this lovely family.
I think this is irresponsible, the world is overpopulated, and by the way they may be paying for it all, but with that many kids if they have any financial issues then guess what we will be paying a motza to get them through life!
Also I don't understand why he has not been charged with statutory rape, or was her first pregnancy to another man? Or perhaps he was the same age? (not sure if the rules but I think the laws may be different if the man is a minor also).
Oh well I suppose this is a glimpse into how they used to live in the Middle Ages!
