I’m raising quints, triplets & TWO sets of twins – all of my kids were conceived naturally, I spend £2k a month on food
A MUM is now raising 14 children after naturally conceiving quintuplets, triplets and two sets of twins.
After two miscarriages, Karen, 40, and Deon Derrico, 49, welcomed four sets of multiple births back to back after welcoming their two oldest children Darrian, 16 and Derrick, 11.
First came twins Dallas and Denver, 10, followed by Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daician and Daiten, 8.
Karen then delivered twins Diez and Dior, 3, who are often referred to as the “triplins” as tragically their triplet brother Carter, who passed away just a couple of hours after delivery.
While all of the Derrico children are given named beginning with ‘D’, Carter was the exception as his parents wanted to give him a special and different name.
And in 2019 Karen and Deon became parents again, welcoming triplets Dawsyn, De’Aren, and Dyver, rounding off their brood to 14.
“With my early childhood background, I’ve been in those classrooms with one teacher for 20 children.
But Karen isn’t resentful.
“This is us, this is our life," she added, "We chose to have a large family, we also chose to make sure that we can provide for our large family."
