A PREGNANT mum who already has 13 children and lives off benefits says she will not stop having babies until she fulfils her dream of giving birth to twins.

 

Baby machine Sara Foss, 39, is due to give birth to her 14th child in April,  but will try to get pregnant again as soon as possible to realise her dream.

 

The brazen mum told the Sun newspaper: "All I've ever wanted is twins or triplets. It's my biggest wish, and I'm going to keep trying until I do it.

 

"It would be fantastic. In fact, I won't stop trying until I've done it. I love having babies - it's the most wonderful thing in the world."

 

Sara was 16 when she had her first baby, Patrick, in 1986 - but, traumatised by giving birth, she vowed not to have any more children.

 

It was a decade before she changed her mind and had a second son, Stephen - and she has almost averaged a birth a year ever since.

 

She said: "I got over my fear of labour and just started having kids. They're all brilliant. They don't give me any bother. They're fantastic."

 

Her mammoth brood now comprises Patrick, 23, Stephen, 13, Malachai, 12, Peppermint, 11, Echo, 10, Eli, nine, Rogue, eight, Frodo, seven, Morpheus, five, Artemis, four, Blackbird, three, Baudelaire, two, and nine-month-old Voorhees.

 

All bar Patrick share a three-bedroom council house with their mother and father, Sara's long-term partner Stephen Smith, 40.

 

Even though Stephen works as a canal boat builder, the couple receive £4,200 ($ 7,800) in benefits every month.

 

Sara, of Derby, begins her chores at 4am every morning and keeps the house spotlessly clean to avoid being tagged a layabout scrounger.
