I got pregnant with my first baby when I was 15 and now I have 12 kids – trolls say it’s gross, selfish and disgusting
A WOMAN has revealed that she got pregnant with her first child when she was just 15-years-old.
Now, Britni Church, 35, who posts online under the name ‘Our Large Family Life’, has 12 children.
Previously, Britni admitted that she used to be very self-conscious about her large brood.
But now, the mum-of-12 has claimed that she “couldn’t be prouder” of her kids.
The full-time, US-based mum, who is from Arkansas City, Kansas, took to social media to open up how old she was when she had each of her children.
She said: “I have 12 kids. I got pregnant with my oldest when I was 15. I had her at 16.

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ourlargefamilylife, has clearly shocked many, as it was shared just one day ago, but has quickly racked up a whopping 463,800 views.
But the video has left people totally divided.
While some were eager to compliment Britni’s ‘beautiful’ family, mean keyboard warriors said it was ‘gross’, ‘selfish’ and ‘disgusting’ that she chose to have so many children.
One user penned: “I think you have a beautiful family.”
A second chimed in: “Wow! Such a big beautiful family!”
Whilst another user beamed: “You’re Super Woman.”
However, at the same time, not everyone was as kind.
One person asked: “Why? Do you not know when you're ovulating?”
Another added: “I got tired just listening.”
A third commented: “Collecting kids is gross.”
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “This is absolutely selfish and disgusting.”
Prior to this, Britni admitted: “Honestly when I was a single mum of five and six, I wasn’t really embarrassed but I was ashamed.
“It felt like it was a bad thing to have so many kids, I wouldn’t have traded them for the world.
“I felt like I had to make excuses for them, why I had so many.”
Britni then explained that she would find herself reassuring people that her children were all from the same dad to save herself from being judged.
But now, she is thrilled with her bumper brood, as she continued: “Now I am so proud of my kids, I am not ashamed, I am not embarrassed.”
