When Marie Buchan gave birth to her seventh child, doctors warned her she'd seriously risk her health if she became pregnant again.
Shockingly, she ignored their advice and went on to have an eighth child, putting so much strain on her body she now needs a hysterectomy.
But, incredibly, the single mum- who rakes in over £2,200 in benefits a month- plans to use a surrogate to have two more babies and fulfil her dream of having ten kids.
Marie, 32, also knows that, by adding two more children to her family, she'll receive an extra £70 a week in state handouts, and hopes to get a five-bed council house.
Marie, from Birmingham, says: "I was devastated when doctors told me I couldn't have more. I love being pregnant and surrounded by kids.
"If I can't have more babies myself, the next best thing would be to use a surrogate."
"I'll get more benefits too- it's easy to claim off the state. People might criticise me, but it's my right to have as many children as I want."
