According to British media reports on the 23rd, a 39-year-old mother from Derby, UK, named Sarah Fawcett, has been called a "baby factory" or "breeding machine." This is because she, unemployed and staying at home, has had 13 children with her 40-year-old partner, Stephen Smith. Now, Sarah is pregnant again. Shockingly, Sarah even claims that after having her 14th child, she will continue trying to get pregnant until she gives birth to a pair of twins!
**Nicknamed "Baby Factory"**
Reports indicate that Sarah gave birth to her first child, Patrick, at the age of 16. The delivery left her with painful memories, prompting her to swear she would never have more children. However, ten years later, Sarah changed her mind and became pregnant again, giving birth to her second son, Stephen. After that, Sarah couldn't stop—she almost had a child every year.
To date, the 39-year-old Sarah has given birth to 13 children, earning her the nickname "Baby Factory."
**Living on Welfare Payments Every Month**
Apart from Patrick, who doesn't live at home, Sarah lives in a government-subsidized three-bedroom apartment with her other 12 children and partner, Smith. Although Smith works as a shipbuilder, his income isn't high. Sarah, who stays at home and is unemployed, relies mainly on £4,200 per month in government welfare payments to support her family. These include housing benefits, child tax credits, child allowances, unemployment benefits, and family tax subsidies. In other words, British taxpayers bear an annual cost of about £50,000 for Sarah's family.
**Unexpected Pregnancy Again**
What no one expected was that just a few months ago, Sarah became pregnant again. She is now 20 weeks into her pregnancy and is due to give birth to their 14th child next April.
**Public Criticism: Called a Parasite**
However, what left all Britons speechless was Sarah's declaration to reporters that even after giving birth to her 14th child, she plans to have more children. Her ultimate dream is to have twins or triplets.
Sarah, who lives on government welfare, also plans to spend £5,000 on Christmas gifts for her children at the toy store. Her "generous spending" angered many Britons, especially during a time when many are cutting expenses due to the global economic crisis. Some locals even mock Sarah as a "parasite" who only wants to have more children to receive more government subsidies.
