BOUNCING BUMP
Pregnant Sue Radford shares video of her ‘wriggly’ belly as she waits for baby number 22
SUE Radford, who is pregnant with her 22nd child, has shared a video of her “wriggly” daughter-to-be.
The mum of Britain’s largest family, from Morecambe, Lancs, took to Instagram where she posted a clip of her bump moving around on her story.

The 44-year-old’s belly can be seen moving around before her followers eyes as the mum enters her 29th week of pregnancy.
Captioning the video, Sue wrote: “Having a little wriggle baby girl.”
Last week the mum shared a photo of her bump which had finally "popped" at 28 weeks of pregnancy.
Sue shared a photo last week where her bump was considerably larger than it was four weeks ago when she admitted to feeling “so tiny.”

Captioning the post, Sue said: “Think my bump has finally popped out at 28 weeks. I honestly can’t believe she will be here in around 10 weeks’ time.”
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 she was feeling healthy and like she has "loads of energy".
What is an anterior placenta?
- Rather than being placed behind the baby, an anterior placenta is in front
- Some mums-to-be feel like the placenta acts as a cushion between the baby and their stomach when they start kicking
- Having a placenta in front of the stomach can make it difficult to hear the baby's heartbeat
- Anterior placentas shouldn't affect your baby's health - but there is a chance the interior grows up instead of down and moves towards your cervix

On top of this, Sue says this is the smallest baby bump she's ever had - which has also relieved her of the crippling back pain she's experienced in previous pregnancies.
The mum and her partner Noel 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.
They also have three grandchildren - who are Sophie's kids - Daisy, six, Ayprill, four, and Leo, two.
