A New Mexico woman, who has had 11 children in 11 years, is all set to welcome her 12th child in March 2022.

She is, however, facing the ire of social media users after she recently revealed she doesn’t use contraception or any other birth control measure.

Courtney Rogers, 37, was a virgin when she tied the knot with her pastor husband Chris in October 2008. Since then, she has been pregnant every year. The two are now parents to Clint, 11, Clay, 10, Cade, 9, Callie, 9, Cash, 7, Colt 6, Case 6, Calena, 4, Caydie, 3, Coralee 2, and Caris, almost 1. Rogers is pregnant with her 12th child, which is due in March, The Hindustan Times reported.

Rogers says she always dreamt of being a mother, but did not have a specific number in mind when it came to how many kids she wanted.

"I always wanted kids, but no specific number. My husband suggested 10 like his mum. After 10 arrived I still felt young so we went for ‘cheaper by the dozen’. It feels like the perfect family with six boys and six girls," she said, New York Post reported.

She also suffered three miscarriages.

"I’ve been pregnant every year since 2008. At times it’s hard work. Keeping up with everyone’s schooling and all the cleaning and laundry is a chore. My husband works at our church plus has several side jobs to earn money," she said, adding that she never used contraception.

Rogers, who has over 30,000 followers on Instagram, also revealed she experiences trolling on a regular basis but doesn’t care.

"People judge us at times. They don’t like large families or accuse us of not providing for them. It doesn’t really bother me because I know they’re strangers and don’t know us at all," she said, New York Post reported.

Rogers also homeschools all her children.

"I’m a stay-at-home homeschooling mum. We also have a small farm we’re working on expanding," she said.
