A MUM-OF-12 has shared her pregnancy journey which saw her with a baby bump for close to two decades.

Zoe and Ben Sullivan, from Scotland, are parents to one of the biggest families in the country but to get to a whopping 12 children has meant that Zoe, 44, has been pregnant for 15 years.

The duo are parents to Elizabeth, 17, Olivia, 16, Noah, 13, Evangeline, 11, Tobias, 9, Agnes, 5, and Joseph, 4, two sets of twins, Charlotte and Isabelle, 14, and Leah and Erin, 6, and baby Flo, 8 months.

The supersized family have managed to squeeze into a four-bedroomhouse and regularly upload snippets of their life both on YouTube and TikTok.

One of their latest clips on the social media platform saw the mum walk their fans through her pregnancy journey over the years.

The 44-year-old first fell pregnant in 2004/2005, which was soon followed by another baby in 2006.

Between 2007 and 2008, the family welcomed their first set of twins, and just a year later, in 2009, Zoe was carrying a baby bump yet again.

The following year, 2010, went without falling pregnant, however that stopped in 2011 when she announced she was excepting another child.

But the family kept on expanding, as between 2012 and 2013, the mum had found herself with a big bump once more.

Somewhere between 2015 and 2016, the duo and their children learnt that they were about to become mum and dad to the second set of twins.

Shortly after giving birth, Zoe was pregnant again in 2016 and 2017, sharing a snap of her bump on their TikTok account, @the.sullivan.fam.

It wasn't much later that the supersized family welcomed another child between 2017 and 2018, and this was then finally followed with their latest pregnancy in 2021/2022.

People on social media were lost for words, as thousands flocked to comments in total disbelief.

''U ever take a day off or sum [something]???'' one wondered, whilst another reckoned the expenses must be over the roof.

''I can barely even afford to keep myself alive,'' someone else added.

''girl didn’t catch a break,'' a fourth chuckled.

Speaking to followers on YouTube, she said: "We’re all about honesty and what life is really like. As much as I’d love to have a pristine house all the time, there’s 14 people living in my house and we haven’t got much space.

"So what others might see as messy clothes is actually individual piles of people’s things that they’re kind of in the process of wearing or have only worn for an hour and are going to wear later.

"A certain nasty person keeps getting a hold our videos and switching things around, saying stuff like ‘the Sullivans’ house is disgusting’.

"The worst thing about it is people who have previously followed you and like your channel start to believe what others have put on.

"That’s where it gets really upsetting. It’s not the original troll if you like, it’s when other people start believing it."

She added: "We’re all about being honest about our lives. If our house is messy in parts, it’s messy in parts.

"Most people live like that. Even if they’ve got a beautiful home and keep it as tidy as they can, especially if they’ve got children, there’s always a spot they won’t want you to see.

"As much as we’ve outgrown this house and we’ve had a lot of problems with this house like mould and things, it’s still been our home for the last 10 years.

"We’ve brought our family up here, we’ve had the babies here. The five youngest. It will always be our home."

We told earlier how the Sullivans have FOUR children celebrating their birthday on the same date.

In odds once described by Ladbrokes as "30 million to one", both sets of the Sullivan twins share a birthday of January 25.

Supermum Zoe joked: "We like to keep ourselves extra busy and supersize everything."
