Baby bumps are nothing new in the Radford household.
對雷德福一家來說，新生嬰兒降臨早已不是什么新鮮事了。

But even though they are Britain’s biggest family, the sight of two together is a first.
但是雖然他們是英國最大的家庭，兩個嬰兒幾乎同時出生還是第一次。

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.
女主人蘇·雷德福今年39歲，聽說自己的20歲的大女兒將給她帶來第二個孫兒的消息，她非常激動。就在幾個月后，這個家庭迎來喜上加喜：因為雷德福夫人發(fā)現(xiàn)自己懷上了第17個孩子！所以現(xiàn)在，媽媽和女兒可以共享懷孕的喜悅了！

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.
雷德福一家經(jīng)營的面包店生意很好。雷德福夫人已經(jīng)有9個兒子和7個女兒，她說自己發(fā)現(xiàn)再次懷孕后欣喜若狂。

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.
她說，自己去年9月懷孕時流產(chǎn)曾留下心理陰影，但這次和女兒蘇菲一起懷孕可以幫助自己減輕焦慮。昨天雷德福夫人說：“第17個孩子是在去年11月份懷上的，我們簡直高興壞了！和女兒蘇菲一起懷孕，這感覺簡直太妙了！”

Sophie already has a 21-month-old girl called Daisy with her 22-year-old boyfriend Joe and they share a privately rented home.
蘇菲和22歲的男友喬生活在一個出租房里，他們已經(jīng)有了一個21月大的女兒名叫黛西。

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.’
她說：“很奇怪哦，我一發(fā)現(xiàn)自己懷孕了就知道媽媽也懷上了。當(dāng)她告訴我確實懷孕了的時候，我特別高興。有了彼此的陪伴我們都沒那么大壓力，我覺得這讓我們更親密了。和媽媽一起共享懷孕的體驗，這很可愛，并且我們兩個狀況都很好。”

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.'
這家人登上了一期英國4頻道節(jié)目——《數(shù)數(shù)16個孩子》。那么第17個孩子之后，他們家的人口數(shù)還會繼續(xù)上漲嗎？雷德福夫人說：“我之前一直說的都是‘永不說不’，但這次也許是最后一個了。”
