A mum-of-nine refuses to use contraception and is even considering having more children, despite having to do laundry four times a day. Ashley Couzens, 36, states that motherhood came naturally to her after first falling pregnant at the age of 16 with her daughter Alexis - and went on to give birth to seven more children over the next 11 years.
She now spends approximately £1,700 a month on food to provide for her huge family. Even though she "felt complete" when she found out that she was expecting her ninth child Jrue Couzens, who is now eight-months-old, she admits that she would even consider having one or two more kids.
The cleaning business owner said that each time she is interrogated on how she both mentally and emotionally supports so many little ones, her response is that being a mum is just 'like riding a bike' for her.
