29-Year-Old Mum of 14 Daughters – “I Won’t Stop Having Kids Until I Have A Son.”

A 29-year-old woman who already has 14 daughters says she won’t giving up trying to have a son for her 30-year-old husband, Jose.

Augustina Higuera from Paris, Texas, may only be 29 but is a proud owner of a brood of 14 daughters. She also beat odds of 500,000 to one to give birth to a third set of twins two months ago.

According to Mirror, the proud mum is less thrilled that all of her ­children are girls and she has vowed she won’t stop until she has a son.

”We both really, really want a boy. We’d be over the moon, so we will keep trying.

We’re besotted with the girls but Jose is outnumbered and it would be nice to even things out. I’m lucky that I enjoy being pregnant. I’ve never had any major problems, so it’s not a big stress for me.

I’ve had so many girls I’m not sure what I’d do with a son. I just know I’d be blessed to have one. He and Jose would have an incredible bond. I hope I can give him that.

I have no upper limit on how many children I’d have. I’d have another 10 if it meant having a boy,” she said.

 

She continues:

”It’s chaos looking after 14 girls but we wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve always wanted to be a mum. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time looking after my younger brother and sister. Although twins run in my family, I never expected I’d have three sets. I know we’re blessed.”

Augustina took in the first time she had sex, with then teenage boyfriend, Antonio.

”I was shocked and terrified. I was so young and I didn’t know what to do. But I’m a Christian, so abortion was never an option. And we were very lucky as both sets of parents supported us.”

First daughter Belicia was soon followed by Nyelli, 13, Liliana, 12, and Vanessa, 11.

She said: “My older girls were not planned. Every time I got pregnant, I was shocked. I tried all types of contraception but something always went wrong. But when the girls were born, I was always over the moon.”

Augustina and Antonio married when he was 17 and she was 15, as Texan law permits those over 14 to wed with parental consent.

But their relationship broke down shortly after Vanessa’s birth and when she was four months old, Augustina met Jose at a party.

With 14 daughters, the couple do not rely on welfare to support their family as he earns £6,000 a month running a landscape gardening firm.

Augustina said: ”Jose works seven days a week to support us. For now, I’ve had a contraceptive coil fitted but I think we’ll start trying for another baby when the youngest are four.”
