Brittany Hogan, who is from the US, shared that her parents let her do whatever she wanted, so she did.

"You can turn any situation around for your own good"

Brittany claimed that she first got pregnant at the age of 14, as she shared: “I got pregnant with my oldest at 14 and I had her at 15. And from there I literally had a child every year until I turned 18. And then I had two more in my twenties.

“My oldest four are 16, 15, 14, and 13. I guess after I had that second kid, my parents just let me do whatever at that point.”

She then explained that she chose to keep her children a secret from friends, as she added: “I hid every pregnancy until I was about six months and I remember one of my friends coming over when I had my third child and she was like ‘who baby is this?’ and I had to show her the birth certificate just for her to believe me.

“Now, what in my mind told me to have all these kids? I literally ask myself this every day when my house is chaotic and full of noise.”

The busy mum revealed her reasons behind having so many children so young, as she explained: “But abandonment Issues from my egg donor and abandonments from my parents, and also my poor decision making played a part in that.

“But here I am, a lot of kids later, a college graduate, a wife, and a homeowner.

“So I say all that to say no matter what happens in life, you could definitely turn any situation around for your own good.”

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @justbrittanyhogan, has clearly left many stunned, as it has quickly amassed 577,300 views in just two days.

But social media users were left totally open-mouthed at Tiffany’s claims.

One person said: “Nah that is crazy.”

Another added: “That’s insane.”

A third commented: “First time for everything, I heard of teen pregnancy BUT never heard of Anyone having 4 kids at age 18…”

One mother shared: “I had my first baby at 17 and my second at 19 but baby that’s where I draw the line.”
