A WOMAN who first got pregnant at the age of 18 has revealed that her plan to have her kids young failed.
Frankie, from the UK, took to social media to reveal she was now a mum of eight after giving birth again at the age of 47.
In the clip, the teen mum said: “Had my first baby at 18 and told myself I was going to have kids young so I’ll be living my best life by my mid-40s.
“Anyway, here’s me at 47 with my newborn.”
Frankie revealed that her other seven children were all in their teens now and wasn’t expecting another child.
