A woman in Israel has given birth to her 20th child.

The ultra-Orthodox woman, 42, shocked hospital staff when she arrived at the Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem, this week, to give birth to her 20th baby.

The mother, from the Mea Shearim area of Jerusalem, arrived to give birth and revealed that she already had 19 children.

Aliza Altmark, the midwife, helping the mother to deliver her 20th baby, was told by the mother that her brood  - from 18 previous births  - already included one set of twins.
