Is This The World's Most Fertile Mum?

Emma tried the pill, condoms, the coil, and more – but she still fell pregnant four times!

Emma Brown had never planned on having a big family. In fact, she didn’t want kids at all!

‘I enjoyed my social life way too much, and all I dreamed of was having a great career and travelling the world,’ explains Emma.

But now, at 31, Emma is a mum to four kids – Sofie, 12, Sarah, 11, Stevie, five, and one-year-old Reginald.

And each child was born against the odds.

At 17, Emma met 18-yearold truck driver Leigh in a club.

She’d had the 99 per centeffective contraceptive injection and had no intention of getting pregnant, but after returning from a girls’ holiday less than a year into her relationship with Leigh, she didn’t feel too well...

‘At first, I put it down to drinking too much and not getting enough sleep,’ says Emma, from Middlesex, UK.

‘But when I started being sick and getting stomach cramps, I thought there was something seriously wrong. I’d also put on weight, but I didn’t put two and two together.’

Worried, Emma went to her doctor and when a pregnancy test came back positive, she couldn’t believe it. Even more shocking was the fact that she was almost six months along!

‘I was stunned,’ admits Emma. ‘How could I be pregnant? OK, so I hadn’t had periods for ages, but that wasn’t unusual with the contraceptive jab... but I was still slim... there was no bump showing!’
