Pregnant Radford teen from UK's biggest family fears baby weight has gone to her face

A member of the UK's biggest family fears weight she has put on during pregnancy has gone straight to her face.

Millie Radford is eagerly anticipating the birth of a little girl in September.

The 18-year-old, who has decided to call her daughter Ophelia, is not an enormous fan of some of the effects of pregnancy.

Alongside a photograph of herself that she posted on Instagram, Millie wrote: “As you can see all my weight is piling straight onto the face."

Last week the young woman, who has 21 siblings, posted a 4D scan of Ophelia online.

She wrote: "We had our 28 week 4D scan yesterday at @takeapeeksthelens. Can’t believe how much she’s changed since my last scan.

"I love seeing how much she’s grown over the weeks.

"Baby O is still breech and she’s sticking her middle finger up already!

"Think I’m going to have my hands full with her."

Along with dad Noel, 48, Millie's mum Sue, 45, has welcomed an astonishing number of children.

Most of the sizeable family live in a converted care home in Morecambe, where they run the Radford's Pie Company.

In a family update posted on YouTube last week Millie was surprised by her family with an influx of gifts for her baby.

The expectant teen had announced her pregnancy just weeks before ‘supermum’ Sue welcomed baby Heidie.

The teen is actually holding her baby sister when the presents are brought into the family living room.

She soon bursts into tears and is comforted by mum Sue.

Her first gift is some cushions spelling out her daughter's name.

The next is a handbag before her mum helps her out with scissors so she can open a pram that will be used by baby Ophelia.

There is some assembly required but lucky Millie will have 22 pairs of hands to help out and she even jokes "I bet we know how to put a pram up!"

Millie announced her pregnancy in March and admitted she didn't think falling pregnant 'would be so easy' - despite her mum's huge brood.

She also revealed that while she and Ophelia's dad are no longer together, he is going to be a part of her life.

The teenager, whose six-month relationship with the baby's father has ended, told The Sun: “We didn’t use protection. I knew there was a risk of pregnancy but I didn’t think it’d be so easy.

"I didn’t worry about STIs, as I trusted him. I’d known him for years."

Millie's siblings are Chris, 31, Sophie, 25, Chloe, 24, Jack, 22, Daniel, 20, Luke, 19, Katie, 17, James, 16, Ellie, 15, Aimee, 14, Josh, 12, Max, 11, Tillie, nine, Oscar, eight, Casper, seven, Hallie, four, Phoebe, three, Archie, two, and Bonnie, one, and Heidie who is a months old.
