Radford Family: Sue Radford gives birth to baby number 22

The British Sue Radford and her husband Noel already had 21 children together – and actually it should have been, the happy parents announced after the birth of their youngest family member Archie in 2018. Now a baby has cheated once again: A little girl is child number 22 for the couple.

This is baby number 22

Father Noel even had himself sterilized after the ninth child – but he later had this procedure reversed. On April 3, 2020, Sue and Noel's 22nd child saw the light of day. The girl was born in the Royal Lancaster Infirmary hospital. The little girl is the eleventh girl for the Radford family.

"It was a strange birth"

For her mother Sue it was the "strangest birth so far" due to the corona crisis, reports the British newspaper "The Sun". It seemed very strange to her to go to a hospital during this difficult time. But everything went well and after 10 hours of labor the baby was born.

Because of the corona pandemic, Sue Radford was previously very concerned that her husband Noel might not be allowed to accompany her to the delivery room. Fortunately, this concern turned out to be unfounded: "When we got there, I immediately felt safe."

The baby doesn't have a name yet

The little girl does not yet have a name. The large family has not yet been able to agree on a favorite. How good that the decision still has some time. "We can't officially register him anyway because of the corona crisis."

Sue Radford became pregnant for the first time when she was 14 years old. Her husband Noel was 19 years old at the time. In total, Sue was 800 weeks pregnant in her life.
