#documentary #family

This is my favorite bit when they’re newborn like this in the first few weeks there’s nothing like having a newborn baby there’s no other feeling like that for Me the average British family has two children but for some moms and dads that’s just not enough okay byebye everybody byebye bye bye good hello Mom it’s me number 12 just Arrived some people have an urge to have baby after baby I just really want to be in 9 month’s time holding a little baby I have a large family I am grateful to God and I want many more that’s what I pray for I love children where you

Going why are some parents compelled to keep having kids and what’s life really like in Britain’s largest families this be is the first day of your menstrual cycle and then what you do is you have a little rubber ring and you just move it around each day and

Then you go on to the white beads and these are the fertile time today it’s this one so this is after this point then we’re back around to you know this is a countdown to you are you going to have a baby are you not some I’m say

Just make love every day during this time as for positions they say that the one that’s still best for it even though they say it’s boring is the missionary position that’s supposed to be the best for conceiving so I suppose we just stick to that Deborah Simpson’s 43 and she’s been

Married to Derek for 23 years they’ve had 13 children and they’re getting themselves in Peak condition to have another I’ve also been taking Siberian ginang which is supposed to be very good for um meil things you feel the clock’s ticking because every year you are a little older

Was the little one last night she’s all right she’s all right she’s feeling feeding better she was lost you look a bit better today than you did yesterday I was really worried about you yesterday yesterday I’m all day like don’t no nothing to do going do everything I’m not doing anything so

Pain yesterday too much painting for me there’s a car coming laor say she’s had some dizzy spells yesterday and today and it gets worse as you know with all the pregnancies doesn’t it so we need to to get you back that’s what they keep saying it’s all in the mind fa it’s all

In the uterus selling but haven’t you seen a difference this time in norine’s pregnancy because I have did you not notice how I I can still see noring that’s after I have first baby on that picture and that’s how she looks to you now she’s still the same to me and that’s

Thank God but as Norine said to you this time that enough’s enough or Norine how do you feel do you feel more and more tired understand this time you you you you have been this time throughout the pregnancy when she’s come to me anal she said the pain is too much I’m struggling

This time carrying this baby it’s because we’ve got lot on our place you have got a lot on it’s coping with the babies adding to it and the more pregnancies knowing has I think when we start uh feeling that it’s getting a strain on us financially we can’t do

This so we can’t cope with the kids I think that will be my uh turning point and saying now but I’ll still turn around to God and say if you want me to do the job you give me the strength well you know I only had two children cuz

That’s what I felt that I could cope with that’s what I felt that I could give as much as I could to those that’s brilliant I respect that when you had only two children what made you stop that too then because I didn’t feel I could afford anymore I didn’t feel I

Could give as any more love to any more children I wanted those two to have as much as I could give them so you’re not standing for some food you a nice spicy one Curry thank you and I love it too she had the strain because it it

Phys it does take out of you anything strenuous that’s stretching the body and the muscles playing football even after a long if I go and play football now without having regular exercise and and being in that routine I bet you my body will be screwing me up and really

Killing me I said me I I shouldn’t have done that using it time and time again is not going to wear it out and I think like any other muscles if you’re working it practicing it it builds it stronger and Stronger just always been baby mad you know just baby mad PR Mad well there’s nothing like having a newborn baby that is just there’s no other feeling like like that for me there isn’t anyway just that newborn baby I can’t wait for that haven’t had that for 3 years and I just can’t wait for that what’s his name

Hey Karen and Ellis are expecting their 12th child so far they’ve had seven girls and four boys how can you not love that stuff that just makes me go all we get and ease that stuff his little suit his little PRM suit as soon as I found out

I’m pregnant I’ve got to go in and buy something you know just obvious see something that that doesn’t cost much you know just to start off with a it’s nice this time doing boys stuff you know cuz i’ I’ve had so many girls and that and people can’t believe that

You still feel like that over your 12th as you do your face just love it it’s just brilliant Karen’s 39 and she had her first child at 19 even though she’s had 12 children she still wants everything to be perfect for the new arrival I’m good at being a mom so I’m

Probably the best mom I now you just need to just be a relaxed M but if you’re stressed by I’ve got to have X amount of money in the bank you know my kids have to go to this place and that place all that kind of stuff it

Just stresses you out so you’re going to end up with stressed out kids sorry never felt that my God I can’t have another one you know because couldn’t cope you know I’ve never felt that way so that’s because they’re all really good so it must be something I’m doing right you Know the Johnston family live in orser they’ve got two Council houses that they’re currently converting into one But some luck it should be the last one and then we can all grow up and live happily ever after that’s the dream people say they say you must be mad but it’s not mad I think it’s just love you know got don’t know don’t know what it is I don’t know

Skills so why do you think that in 3 years you haven’t been able to find that job it’s not my ability my skills or my education cuz I’ve got all that I’ve got seven British degrees PhD the highest degree I think it’s still my color and

My religion I’m a Muslim and I think after the 77 incident and the 911 uh there’s been a lot of hidden agenda against the Muslims and I think it’s the hype of anti-muslim because I’m a Muslim I think that’s why I’m not getting a job hi morning Muhammad is well known in

Rochdale and he regularly writes to the local paper to air his views on Muslim issues a national newspaper has recently featured Muhammad under the headline unemployed scer making him even more of a Target than usual on the town streets come on young man how are you

Prejudism no no no you’re racist against me because of my color you’re a clever man I’m I am a clever man I’ve got seven British degrees and you’ve got 11 British children absolutely I’m very proud of them of course you are but all I if every family in this country are R

Yeah yeah there all people so many they’re lovely people Rock steale people are Muslims and they’re nice people but the work the work what do you do I work what do you do to fetch up you work you work making children yeah and that’s the hardest job that’s what you work and

That’s the hardest job after 13 children Deborah’s trying harder than ever to have another as well as getting her body in Peak condition she started a course of reflexology Deborah hopes that this will balance her hormones and boost her fertility I think throughout my whole life I’ve just absolutely hated the

Thought of failing at anything and I always sort of strive to succeed even if it’s only in small things I suppose for me is like a quest because it’s something I really really want to Happen I suppose it’s the hardest I’ve ever tried I just really want this to go through I really want to be in 9 months time holding a little baby tonight mom and dad are taking the whole family out with 15 mouths to feed it’s an expensive and rare Treat forget the names at time believe it or not you come in your um you know they just there’s so many and they come and talk to you and giving you different things in the schools and projects and they want know different things and it’s it does it it BLS your

Mind at times you know ages against her now just getting older hi pal you done To Deborah is now desperate to find out whether she is pregnant with her 14th she’s decided to take an early pregnancy test although she knows that means the answer won’t be definitive I did a a pregnancy test a few minutes ago I was going to fling it in the bin but I know it’s a slight staining of pink so I don’t know whether it’s just because it’s a cheap test and it’s given a false positive or or what really this means you’re probably

Pregnant I got I’ve got something to show you and see what you think okay um did this before anyone came in today I don’t know what do these taste do you see anything or do you not see anything you want me to get you a taste I don’t

Know I don’t know what to do put water do you want me to go out I have have you to go I’ll go get a tast okay I’ll see you in a while then you know deie and I got married and we we did think we’ll have a few kids

You know maybe two three but um they were so good that we had another one and another one and another one and they they’re all lovely it it’s all you know having a large family doesn’t feel like it’s a large family to us it just feels like that’s

Her family it’s just natural babies have an an instant love appeal you know but that’s nature you know nature builds that in so that you want to have another baby if if it if babies didn’t have that there’d be no human race would There This morning Deborah took an early pregnancy test it looked positive but it’s too early in her cycle to definitely know still Deborah’s so Keen for good news that she’s taking another Test no see this way bit here just in in there how many lines can you see just in there two two really right where are they show me one there one there so you can see that mhm and I’m not going crazy then the only thing is you can’t tell

Anybody at all right because you’ve got to do another one of these until you’re sure so you can’t tell anyone till we know okay so it’s your secret I don’t even know what to do anymore just feel nervous sort of excited at the thought that it

Might be and nervous that well if it’s not Deborah will have to wait a few more days to get a definitive answer thanks for the boot dad Natalie is 16 Deborah’s third child and the oldest still at home she knows the impact that a new baby will have on the

Family a few of us have our sort of concerns about it because we realize that the more the family grows The more stress is going to be put on us and also there’s obviously going to be more and more of a gap of attention like all of us are willing to

Accept that and it’s obviously my mom and dad’s Liv and they have the choice and nobody should be able to take that from them oh do you think you’ll have a big family no I’m not going to have a big family I don’t think I’ll have even one

Kid honestly after seeing what my mom has to go through every day No disgusting Deborah is unsure about the blue lines on her latest test so she’s asked Derek to go and get another hoping this time the answer will be final so you think you should do it then yes don’t get too excited though you know it’s probably going to T

Than see you in a minute it’s just disappointing that’s all happen another time it just doesn’t meant to be this month that’s all sorry that’s okay I just need to try next month again when you’ve just started it’s it’s just about impossible it’s like winning the lottery is not

Ourselves what annoys me and makes me angry sometimes is other people telling us why should we have a big family but um it’s to be honest it’s nobody’s business you know what I mean we look after our kids we go to work and all that we do everything we need to do uh

Basically by ourselves we don’t rely on anybody else yeah I went to see about the snip uh when I was about 25 but uh the doctor wasn’t very keen on doing it he thought I was too young and I said well it’s it’s to stop you having kids so what’s

What’s the problem but he just thought well anything could happen in the future you know and you might want to have more children so just uh have a think about it and then never went back you haven’t thought about it again uh yeah no yeah but uh I don’t know it’s

Just uh Karen doesn’t want to see Karen doesn’t want to know are we standing on Big Bun is this my n and granddad’s grave they were old people we’re in RNE graveyard this is where my grandparents are buried um it’s it’s a village where my dad was bought born and brought

Up Karen unexpectedly lost her dad to can when she was only 12 you can’t imagine what it’s like being 12 and someone dies it’s just just I didn’t didn’t know about it or anything you know I didn’t it wasn’t expecting it I say came in from school

And that was it you know he was Dead 2 hours later I know that there is a difference between good and bad in childhood you know it was good up until that point and then then it changed it didn’t go bad or anything it’s just that it wasn’t the same again you know Stay on k k gone this side anybody else you get the next one Ken yeah we can’t do this all the time so when we do do something like this it’s got to be right you know to go bed look Hi did you like that what do you want to go again you know as long as they’ve had a good time then it’s a success been worth it I think yeah the kids just they’re having a ball they’re loving it yeah yeah think they’ve all cried they

Still up there but they’re still coming back for more so you know it’s it’s not that bad that used to be pregnant it doesn’t put me up or down really you know unless you’ve got any medical problems it’s really not I’m not sick you know I’m

Just pregnant um and I’m quite close SP to hospitals so I’m not like completely out in the sticks you know yeah just that Gonda Journey down that’s the only distance I’ve got to go Hello I he mam we’re play here okay come on I don’t think you can find any words in any language whether it’s English Udu Punjabi uh French German I don’t think you can find the words to really express your inner feeling of what it’s like to

Be a father so the first time I saw my father was I think 8 or N9 years old he wasn’t even present at my birth he wasn’t there to pick me up take me out he was earning a living here in the UK mother tried desperately to have

Another child she wanted one she she loved children and my dad wanted one she had six miscarriages and gave her ill health depression and everything Muhammad was an only child until he was 25 years old when his mother finally gave birth to a baby sister she was months premature it was

So exciting just thinking about and talking about it brings a lot of pleasure and happiness to me cuz it’s God God’s blessing it was a miracle honestly it was a miracle uh a child 1 10 oz is first time I picked her up on the palm of my hand she just fitted

There whatever you come from darling we have me and us can have one how much one each one what one’s not going to get you very far is it no we’re going to go to the shop down there what for to win prize win PRI are you

Gambling yeah I’m you can’t gamble it’s against our religion you know that please no I’m not pleasing you it is forbidden un hey give us a smile gorgeous you you’ve got another wonderful beautiful baby on the way I’m glad you’ve said that thank you very much you’re putting your ideas into my

Head thank thank you CL there isn’t another baby on the way God bless you thank you very much I hope so yes who do you love then nobody nobody not even the children yeah children what not you not me so I think she doesn’t find me irresistible anymore I’ll have to go

Take early retirement who loves me the most me who do you love mommy mmy have you had a good Day well say by say bye to your Momom Karen’s wait for her 12th baby is almost over the hospital have recommended an induction 2 weeks early come on go can you make sure you get this off right cuz you can’t go to bed with uni on to your Chammies it’s just it’s still just as exciting having your 12th as it is having your first I mean I can’t wait to get my hands on I can’t Wait kids you come to do plants yeah you’re going to get I’ve got all these plant pots and it’s all got your names on okay after last month’s failed attempt to conceive Deborah remains determined to have her 14th baby don’t eat the M right make you sick

Since the last pregnancy test was a disappointment after obviously your menual psych you feel sort of disappointed for a few days but you sort of get over it and think well you’ve got other times to try and we just keep trying basically right what are you

Going to call it then um rose rose okay hopefully our future will include another few kids that’s that’s what I see I don’t know if that will come true or not but I hope one day to have another one and and there’s nothing you see that there’s

Nothing selfish about that um I would see it as being selfish if we had the kids and we just let them run R and we weren’t looking after them properly but to be honest we put our heart and soul into the kids 100% even probably 110 10%

I mean we just do absolutely everything to make sure that their Life’s good and everything’s going well so I don’t think it’s selfish and people that would say that should maybe put their own lives under a microscope and think well I’ve got two kids and I’m out working and I

Get to say good night to them at the end of the night and say well you could consider that selfish I don’t I think it’s choices you want me to put that up for you I suppose it’s someone if they’re born with a passion for music or a for

Writing anything it’s usually there until they’re not on this Earth anymore and that’s the way I feel it’s it’s with me it’s it’s heart soul everything it’s my part of my being I’m thinking the next baby’s going to be a girl cuz I want a to because you want the family to girls

And boys T cuz right now the girls have got set and right now the boys has got seven hello M it’s me how are you I’m fine number 12 just arrived he’s happy he’s sleeping he’s doing well he’s tired nled give her a little sleep for a

Couple hours and then she’ll be up playing M’s e and Out b she’ll be happy with Larry get them out later home later hopefully that’ll be it soon Come on Get to sing a song to him go on Then [Applause] I like to go in have the baby go for a quick sleep and back home no fuss no mess doesn’t like it when it’s not the fact that he’s number 12 it’s just the fact that he’s another baby you know that’s it it’s not really about oh getting the family bigger and

That it’s just s of babies got B This is my favorite bit when the newborn like this in the first few weeks every bit has stages that I like you know when they start smiling and that taking notice and going away and stuff I mean it’s all good but like my most special bit is is just like this

Newborn stage it’s just all of it and um can’t imagine not having that really but I can’t imagine thinking that I would want to be pregnant again but come on imine not having one of them either so I’m a bit stuck AR I something’s got to give
