What's more, the mum said she'd ultimately like to have 17 kids. Veronica continued: 'Some of the children were planned. But I can't take hormonal birth control because my illness means I am prone to blood clots. 'I haven't ruled out more children. I would like to have six more. I have spent eight-and-a-half years pregnant.' The mum says she'd ideally want 17 kids to complete her familyCredit: @thismadmama/Tiktok Veronica and her husband Marty are expecting their eighth baby together){kind=link}
