A mother-of-19 is now pregnant with her 20th child – and they all have different dads.
The woman – known only as Martha – is only 39.
And she plans to have more until her body can no longer manage it.
Like with all her existing brood, her newborn will have a different father.

On this occasion, she said she is unaware of who the dad is.
With regards to the absent fathers of her other children, she accused them of being “irresponsible.”
Seventeen of the kids are under 18 years old.
Martha, of Medellin, Colombia, receives financial support from her government for each kid.

Martha said: “I see this, being a mum, like a business, practically.
“The truth is, as the government helps me for each child, I receive a little money for each one.”
Martha said she receives around £60 (COP 300,000) for her eldest children and around £24 (COP 120,000) for the youngest ones.

Each month, the Colombian state pays her around £401 (COP 2 million per month).
Martha also receives help from the local church and neighbours.
She said she will continue to have more kids as it is “profitable” for her.
However, life in the small three-bedroom house is very challenging.
The eldest child sleeps on the sofa.
Martha said she sometimes struggles to provide adequate meals for everyone on a limited budget.
She said she will continue to have children until her “body doesn’t allow it” as her current crop will “leave home when they grow up”.
