A mother of 12 who has been pregnant on and off for a whopping 17 years has revealed she is finally done having 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren – despite her husband admitting he wants to add more kids to their brood.
Britni Church, 33, from Arkansas City, Kansas, was 16 when she had her first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 in 2004, and she had three more 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren from the ages of 17 to 19.
She had another four 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren in her 20s and welcomed triplets when she was 30. Last year, at age 32, she gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 number 12.
‘I think I’m done,’ Church with a laugh, though she admitted her husband, Chris, 30, would happily have more 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.
Together, they share seven-year-old Silas, five-year-old Christopher Jr., three-year-old triplets Oliver, Asher, and Abel, and 11-month-old Rowyn.
Church also has six older 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren from two previous relationships: Crizman, 17, Jordan, 16, Caleb, 14, Jace, 13, Cadence, 12, and Jesalyn, 10.
She spent three years raising five 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren as a single mom before she met Chris at work in 2014.
Her oldest 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, Crizman, graduated high school last month and is closer in age to her mother than her youngest sibling.
Church, who has seven boys and five girls, has been pregnant for roughly 98 months in total — nearly 11 years.
‘They were all vaginal except the triplets — with them I had a C-section,’ she said.
And while doesn’t plan on having any more 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, she believes she’d be able to carry another healthy pregnancy if she wanted to try for 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 number 13.
The family eats meals together at a custom-made 12-seat table that Chris built, and each 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 shares a room in their five-bedroom home.
When they’re all together, they travel in a 15-seat Ford Transit that they bought after the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 of their triplets. However, if Church only has a few kids with her, she will opt to drive their Honda Pilot SUV.
According to the mom, her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren go through two gallons of milk a day, which costs them roughly $200 a month — not counting what they spend on other groceries.
Church went viral last month after she posted a video listing how old she was each time she gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡, the ages ranging from 16 to 32.
Incredible Thing That Happens When Siblings Witness Child𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡
While some mothers are hesitant to allow anyone into the delivery room — let alone their little one — others encourage their first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 to participate in the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡ing process. And while some people get tired of a small 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥’s reaction to witnessing life’s miracles, these little humans might surprise you.The feelings of the little ones are also very interesting! Let’s take a look at the photos taken of the little ones when witnessing the mother giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦!
