The mother of many children assured that she was giving birth to children not at all because she desperately wanted a girl, but simply because she had always dreamed of a big family. But she decided to stop at the 11th baby.
“You probably wanted a girl?” – with such a question, which was asked in an invariably sympathetic tone, Alexis Brett faced more than once or twice. And each time she answered that she did not want a girl at all. She wouldn’t know how to handle her or what to do. After all, she gave birth to 10 boys in a row!
Alexis with such a “track record” became the first woman in Britain to give birth to ten sons one after another. Moreover, she and her husband had no plans to set any records.
“I protected myself. Pills, spirals – they have always used contraceptives. But despite this, I got pregnant again and again, ”Alexis throws up his hands.
When a mother with many children became pregnant for the tenth time, she did not even become particularly interested in the sex of the unborn child. And so it is clear that this is a boy. After giving birth, she was going to undergo sterilization: firstly, she was already 37 years old, and secondly, her health was no longer something to give birth again. But … In general, Alexis did not have time to do sterilization – she became pregnant. At 39, she gave birth to her 11th child. And this is – lo and behold! – there was a girl named Cameron.
“For 8 years out of the last 18 I have been pregnant. Now that’s enough for sure. Yes, I said that last time, but now I absolutely intend to stop, ”says Alexis.
By the way, the young mother notes that the boys, with the appearance of their sisters in the family, began to behave better.
“They try very hard not to make noise so as not to wake up Cameron. And in general they have become more obedient, ”parents are surprised. It seems that their sons are no less shocked than mom and dad, because another girl suddenly appeared in the family!
“People think we are living on welfare. But this is not the case. David (the father of the family) has a good job, he earns a decent salary, so the allowance is minimal, ”adds Alexis.
She herself is loaded with household chores up to her throat: her husband leaves for work at half past five in the morning, and she starts doing laundry, cleaning, cooking – and so on in a circle. Alexis has to wash 49 times a week, vacuum 7 times a day, and they have to buy groceries twice a week, stuffing pantries to the ceiling. But despite such a tight schedule, Alexis plans to return to work as a fitness instructor a few weeks after giving birth.
