Mother of 13 pregnant with number 14 just seven months after she last gave birth
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 21st July 2008 | Eleanor Glover

Posted on 07/22/2008 7:47:20 PM PDT by PotatoHeadMick

Just seven months after giving birth to her 13th child, size zero mother Joanne Watson is delighted to be pregnant again.

The slim 37-year-old says she loves being pregnant and is lucky enough to have regained her pre-pregnancy figure of 7st 5lb after the birth of every child.

Just five days after giving birth to child number 13, daughter Tallulah, the supermum had no problem squeezing into a pair of size six (American size zero) jeans.

Nuclear family-check.

This goes against the commentary of nearly every woman I've ever met who has been pregnant.

Groucho Marx once had a woman on his show. He asked how many children this woman had. she replied: “I have thirteen children”. Groucho replied” “I like my cigar but I take it out of m mouth sometimes.” Groucho was suspended for awhile..

Glad to see somebody trying to reverse the declining white birth rate. And as Groucho said to the mother of 16, “I like my cigar but I take it out of my mouth sometimes.”

I agree with what you said in post #5 and wouldn’t even care if they were Muslims as long as they were Muslims that respected everyone else’s freedom. I hope they enjoy and abundance of God’s blessings for many years to come and if mom wants number 15 more power to her.

Because he is a male, not because he has brown hair. I'll bet in that house, the toilet seats are all nailed down.

Like Chris Rock admonished welfare mothers:
"PUT THE D!*K DOWN! PUT IT DOWN!"
Props to the lady, and her husband, but geez, they need to find a hobby that doesn't involve sex. Eventually, she's gonna lose that gorgeous figure, and then she's gonna be fat and have a bazillion kids to deal with, and a husband who isn't as thrilled as he once was.

I agree. It frustrates me to see so many FReepers who hate what Scripture calls a “blessing.” Would they mock Jacob/Israel for having so many children? Do they mock the great Puritan preachers, many of whom came from large families?

Actually, based on statistical averages for the litter size of rabbits (and assuming an even male/female split) two rabbits can, over a period of seven years, produce a population of 95 billion.

So yes, rabbits are in fact that prolific. Some back of the envelope calculations follow. Rabbits have a gestation period of 28 to 31 days and can get pregnant almost immediately after giving birth. Let’s assume the female rabbit starts on day one and has twelve litters in a year. The litter sizes range from 2 to 22, with the average probably being 7 or 8. To be conservative, we’ll say 8, and assume half are female. Females can breed safely at six months.

Start at January 1st. You have two rabbits.

February 1st: 10 rabbits, 5 female.

March 1st: 18 rabbits, 9 female.

April 1st: 26 rabbits, 13 female.

May 1st: 34 rabbits, 17 female.

June 1st: 42 rabbits. 21 female.

July 1st: 50 rabbits, 25 female.

August 1st: 58 rabbits, 29 female. The first females are now pregnant. (Breeding females: 5)

September 1st: 98 rabbits, 49 female. (Breeding females: 9)

October 1st: 170 rabbits, 85 female. (Breeding females: 13)

November 1st: 274 rabbits, 137 female. (Breeding females: 17)

December 1st: 410 rabbits, 205 female. (Breeding females: 21)

January 1st, next year: 578 rabbits, 289 female.

Starting with two rabbits, you could end up with nearly 600 - and that’s a relatively conservative estimate. Never underestimate the ability of a prey species to reproduce.

She looks great, but she's no size zero. Amy Winehouse and the anorexic Olsen twin are zeros. This lady looks like a healthy size 5 or 7.

I wonder how many ladies have caught on to the scam of vanity sizing, where they simply slap a smaller size tag on a larger item of clothing so everybody can pretend that they haven't porked up.

Look, I agree that the husband clearly is plenty fertile, but nobody's aim is THAT good...

Poor kid probably has to go pee in the backyard...

Do you know anything about the lives of average Americans born in the late 1800s? Here's just one example:

My mother's parents had eight children and they lived in a 3-bedroom home with, eventually, 1 bathroom. I was always close to my aunts and uncles and never heard any of them complain about their home life. They are/were a very close family...any differences of opinions never changed their love and loyalty to each other or their dedicated parents. I spent lots of overnights there as a child and loved it.

Frankly, when I hear of some people today who insist they need 3+ bathrooms, a separate bedroom for every child, multiple TVs and every electronic device that comes down the pike, I shake my head in amazement. We've developed into a materialistic and self-centered society which has earned the title of the "me generation".

It's sad to see so many anti-Children FReepers.

They may not be anti-children but choose to limit the number of children they have. Just as that's their right, those who can afford, and desire large families also have equal rights to do so.

I don't agree that anyone has the right to bring children into the world if they can't or won't support them.

One of my mother's cousins and his wife had 20 children...no twins or triplets. Two were stillborn and 18 are living today.

Their mother is 78 now and always looked terrific---a real knock out! Gorgeous red hair, great figure, and more importantly, a loving and sensible mom with a wonderful sense of humor. One needs all these assets to bring up a good family.

Funny you should say that as I happen to be an Irish twin myself. My three brothers and I were born a neat eighteen months between each of us, three months after I was born my mother was pregnant again, Dad maybe had a drink or two and wasn’t as careful or something, anyway my sister was born eleven months almost to the day after me.

Having got the girl that was enough, I obviously have no idea but I suspect that my mother and father were one set of good Irish Catholics who weren’t following the Holy Father’s strict prohibition on contraceptives in the 1960’s.
