Britni Church could use a break. The 33-year-old mom of 12 gave birth to her first child at age 16 in 2004 and has been pregnant every year since, excluding 2013, 2017, and 2022. It is no surprise to hear a laughing Church tell TODAY in an interview, "I think I'm done."
Church said her 30-year-old husband Chris would gladly have more kids. The Kansas-based couple share seven-year-old Silas, five-year-old Christopher Jr., 3-year-old triplets Asher, Oliver, and Abel, and 11-month-old Rowyn.
Church is also mother to 17-year-old Crizman, 16-year-old Jordan, 14-year-old Caleb, 13-year-old Jace, 12-year-old Cadence, and 10-year-old Jesalyn. Britni had those children from previous relationships.
Mom of 12 has been pregnant for nearly 98 months
Church has seven boys and five girls in total, and she has been pregnant for nearly 98 months in her lifetime. The family spends $200 monthly on milk for the young children. Church said there is always noise and someone is always screaming, but it is just normal for them. She added that she is able to drown it out somehow.
Church, who chronicles her life on the social media platform TikTok, said people are fascinated by big families. At the moment, her TikTok account, which she created back in 2019, has amassed more than 1.8 million followers.
Church said many people assume they are on welfare but are not. She added that she gets a lot of questions like, "Are you Catholic? Are you religious?" The mom said she is Pentecostal, but that has nothing to do with her having many children.
Church added that she has also been asked about her deliveries and how she is doing "down there." She set the record straight, saying all her deliveries were vaginal, except the triplets where she needed a C-section. Church revealed there is no reason she would not be able to carry another healthy pregnancy.
With regard to laundry and cleaning, Church has already made peace with the fact that she will always be behind those chores. She said she always finds Goldfish crackers and noodles everywhere but what matters is that each kid feels special and loved.
She said that the family is happiest when they are all together. Church added that life is good, revealing they have a big waterslide. They also have cookouts with the children sitting around the fire pit.

Church was pregnant four times during her teen years
According to the New York Post, Church lifted the lid on how old she was each time she gave birth to her dozen kids in a short video clip she posted on TikTok. She pointed to the ages 16, 17, 18, and 19, demonstrating that she had been pregnant with her four oldest children for four consecutive years.
Church then explained how she also fell pregnant aged 21, 23, 26, and 28 before welcoming her triplet sons when she was 30. She welcomed her 12th and youngest kid when she was 32.
