Baby bumps are nothing new in the Radford household.对雷德福一家来说，新生婴儿降临早已不是什么新鲜事了。
But even though they are Britain’s biggest family, the sight of two together is a first.但是虽然他们是英国最大的家庭，两个婴儿几乎同时出生还是第一次。
When Sue Radford, 39, heard her eldest daughter Sophie, 20, was giving her a second grandchild she was thrilled. Just a month later, the excitement was doubled when Mrs Radford discovered she was expecting her 17th baby – so now mother and daughter are sharing the pregnancy process.女主人苏·雷德福今年39岁，听说自己的20岁的大女儿将给她带来第二个孙儿的消息，她非常激动。就在几个月后，这个家庭迎来喜上加喜：因为雷德福夫人发现自己怀上了第17个孩子！所以现在，妈妈和女儿可以共享怀孕的喜悦了！
The Radfords run a successful bakery. Mrs Radford, who has nine sons and seven daughters, said she was ‘ecstatic’ to find out she was pregnant.雷德福一家经营的面包店生意很好。雷德福夫人已经有9个儿子和7个女儿，她说自己发现再次怀孕后欣喜若狂。
She said sharing the experience with Sophie helps to stop her worrying about her own pregnancy after she suffered a miscarriage last September. Yesterday, Mrs Radford said: ‘Baby No 17 is due in November and we couldn’t be happier. It has been fantastic being pregnant at the same time as Sophie.她说，自己去年9月怀孕时流产曾留下心理阴影，但这次和女儿苏菲一起怀孕可以帮助自己减轻焦虑。昨天雷德福夫人说：“第17个孩子是在去年11月份怀上的，我们简直高兴坏了！和女儿苏菲一起怀孕，这感觉简直太妙了！”

Sophie already has a 21-month-old girl called Daisy with her 22-year-old boyfriend Joe and they share a privately rented home.苏菲和22岁的男友乔生活在一个出租房里，他们已经有了一个21月大的女儿名叫黛西。
She said: ‘It was strange. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I just knew my mum was too. When she told me I was so happy. It just makes everything less stressful and I feel like it has brought us even closer. It is lovely to be able to share this experience with my mum and we are both doing really well.’她说：“很奇怪哦，我一发现自己怀孕了就知道妈妈也怀上了。当她告诉我确实怀孕了的时候，我特别高兴。有了彼此的陪伴我们都没那么大压力，我觉得这让我们更亲密了。和妈妈一起共享怀孕的体验，这很可爱，并且我们两个状况都很好。”
The family were featured on Channel 4 show, 16 Kids and Counting. And will they stop counting at baby No 17? Mrs Radford said: ‘I always say “never say never” but maybe this time it is the last.'这家人登上了一期英国4频道节目——《数数16个孩子》。那么第17个孩子之后，他们家的人口数还会继续上涨吗？雷德福夫人说：“我之前一直说的都是‘永不说不’，但这次也许是最后一个了。”
