RAD ON TIME
SUE Radford is gearing up for the arrival of her 22nd child after announcing that her induction date has been booked.
The mum of Britain’s biggest family, from Morecambe, Lancs, took to the family YouTube channel where she gave an update on her latest pregnancy.

Sue, 44, is now into her 29th week of pregnancy and paid a visit to her consultant to get an update on how her baby is developing.
Speaking in her latest video she said: “She was doing brilliantly. Her head was measuring at 28 weeks, her leg was measuring at 30 weeks and so was her belly so she’s doing really well.
“Her estimated weight is 3lbs 3oz, which is good because I thought she was smaller. She’s still got time to have a growth spurt and she’s growing really well which is brilliant.”
The mum shared her ultrasound photo with her followers, revealing that her induction date was now only a matter of weeks away.

She continued: “We have an induction date, I’m not sharing that date but we know when she’s going to be arriving it’s in the diary.”
Sue also remarked on how much more her daughter-to-be was moving around, having previously expressed concerns about her bump size and lack of moment.
“She’s moving loads, loads more, she’s really, really active now” Sue said.
“She goes absolutely crazy the minute I get into bed and lie on my side she just goes crazy.

“I’m really pleased with the movement she’s doing really well which is good. Obviously because she’s got a bit bigger I’m now getting much more movement."
While she says her bump is “still not massive” she says it is getting bigger.
It is bound to come as a relief for Sue, who admitted she had been feeling “stressed” over a complication with her unborn baby's placenta.
The mum had developed an anterior placenta - which sits in front of the baby rather behind.

Despite the complication (which she has had once before with her daughter Bonnie), Sue told her 134,000 YouTube subscribers she was feeling healthy and like she has "loads of energy".
The couple famously don’t claim any benefits apart from Child Benefit and rely on Noel’s bakery business to make ends meet.
The Radfords are parents to Chris, 30, Sophie, 25, Chloe, 23, Jack, 22, Daniel, 20, Luke, 18, Millie, 17, Katie, 16, James, 15, Ellie, 14, Aimee, 13, Josh, 12, Max, 11, Tillie, nine, Oscar, seven, Casper, six, Hallie, three, Phoebe, two, Archie 18 months, and Bonnie, one.
Sadly, the couple's 17th child Alfie was still born on July 6, 2014.
They also have three grandchildren - who are Sophie's kids - Daisy, six, Ayprill, four, and Leo, two.
