A MUM says she has been pregnant on an off for 17 years, but thinks baby number 12 is her last one.

In the past 17 years, the longest 32-year-old Britni Church from Arkansas City, Kansas, has not been pregnant is under two and a half years.

The Toktok user shared her latest video under her platform
ourlargefamilylife saying that two and a half years is the longest she has not been pregnant since her early teens.

One follower asked Britni "You have been pregnant for a whole decade" to which she responded: "I have been pregnant on and off for 17 years, the longest I have not been pregnant since age 15 is two and a half years."

The mum-of-12 has received previous backlash for having such a large brood, but Britini says that people have no right to judge her as she is not on benefits.

Speaking to CafeMom, when she was due to have her youngest baby, the mum said that her full house(11 at the time) was not as chaotic as people would think.

Britini said: "We aren’t on food stamps, but we don’t look down on those who need them."

Adding: "It’s also not always loud and chaotic like most people would assume.”

We previously shared how when Britni was pregnant with the 12th baby she yearned for four more kids, even though she already goes through 600 nappies weekly.

She revealed at the time that she and her hubby Chris were also spending the equivalent of £230 a week on groceries, going through five boxes of cereal, and 66 cartons of milk.

She said: “I hope we’ll try to have another girl still. I don’t think I would ever have more than 15 kids but then again I never thought I’d have 11 kids."

Adding: “It does not feel like I have lots of kids – it feels normal."

Just days after her 16th birthday, Britni had her first child Crizman, 15, with her ex-husband.

She had married her ex five days before, and the couple had another four children together - Jordan, 15, Caleb, 14, Jace, 13 and Cadence, 11.

The couple broke up in 2010, leading the mum to go through a partying phase and in 2012 she unexpectedly fell pregnant with her sixth child, Jesalyn, now eight.

“I felt lots of shame about getting pregnant the sixth time because I always wanted my children to have the same dad," Britni said.

After being a single mum for three years, Britni met now-husband Chris in 2014.

Within a year of meeting, the couple had their first son together, Silas, five, in summer 2015. They had another son Christopher, three, in 2016 and surprise triplets Oliver, Asher and Abel, one, in June of last year.

Having a super-seized family means that Britni starts her day at 7 am, first checking on the triplets and then making breakfast for her brood.

The busy mum then makes a start on the twelve loads of washing she has to do per week - while her hubby does two separate school runs to get all the kids to school.

Her baby triplets keep he constantly busy, even with the older kids in school, and as soon as they are asleep she starts on dinner, making it all go for the mum.
