The woman gave birth to 10 sons in a row

Seven on benches? Ha! Children's pranks! Alexis Brett met her future husband David in 1988. 15 years ago she gave birth to her first son. 13 years ago - the second. And then seven more children were born - it turns out that Alexis gave birth every two years. The youngest child of the couple is now a year and a half. All 9 children are boys. According to Alexis, she is the first woman in Britain to give birth to so many sons in a row. But it's not easy for Mrs. Brett: managing with nine boys is not so easy. The mother of many children wakes up at half past five in the morning, does the cleaning (vacuuming in the house is almost continuous), loads the washing machine (four times in a row), wakes up the children and prepares breakfast for them. And then you need to wash the dishes and go again to the supermarket - no one can imagine how many ten people can eat per day.A photo: Peter Jolly Northpix "You have to pack your food twice a week. I would like to go shopping less often, but in the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets simply does not fit the amount of food we need, "said Alexis. Cleaning and cooking are not the only difficulties. The family has a roomy car, an eight-seater minivan. But all together they can not get in there anyway. Therefore, to spend a weekend with the whole family is not often: Mr. Brett takes the elders out to have fun, and Mrs. Brett stays at home with the younger ones. But the upbringing of the boys Alexis does not consider difficult: "I just do not know what to do with the girl. Therefore, when people ask me if I want a girl, I say "no." Neither Alexis nor David ever dreamed of a big family. In any case, oh so big. And it's not about religious views, not about ignorance about the methods of modern contraception. "I have always been protected. Pills, spirals - always. But, despite this, I got pregnant happily again and again, "Alexis growls.Photo:Peter Jolly NorthpixWith so much experience, Alexis realized she was pregnant again. For the tenth time! “I don’t even know why we asked about the sex of our future child during the screening. We already knew. Of course, a boy.” It looks like a girl is not destined to appear in this family. After the birth of her tenth son, Alexis plans to get sterilized. She doesn’t see any other way out, since other methods of contraception don’t work. In addition, the 37-year-old mother of many children began to have serious hip pain. “It seems like my body is signaling that it’s time to stop. I’ll do that,” she says.
