Mum pregnant with twelfth child persuades partner to reverse vasectomy to have MORE KIDS

A mother pregnant with her twelfth child has had a tearful reunion with her love-rat husband - and is now planning to have even more children.

Cheryl Prudham, 32, who receives £39,000 a year in welfare payments, branded her husband Robert a serial cheat last month and spoke of divorce.

But in an astonishing about-turn, she has welcomed 29-year-old Robert back into her life.

And Robert, who is father to six of her children, has agreed to have his vasectomy reversed so that they can go on to have a thirteenth child.

Cheryl, from Gravesend, Kent, who is currently five months pregnant, said: "Robert said he is sorry and we ended up in bed together because we love each other.

"He has admitted to sleeping around in the past, but he said this time he had only been messaging a woman on Facebook.

"I believe him. He broke down and cried. He has never done that before. He is a good dad to the kids.

"I am not making excuses, but he tends to cheat when I'm pregnant. I don't really want sex as much then as I just feel fat.

""We are good at making babies. I have asked him to have his vasectomy reversed because being apart made me realise I want more children.

"And I get more in benefits with every child I have so I can afford a big family.

"I have children because I love being a mum - not to get more benefits. I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to have as many children as I want."

Cheryl's oldest child is George, 15. Her youngest are six-month-old twins Lexy-Rose and Lacey-May.

The family recently moved into a £200,000 five-bedroom house, but she told Closer magazine it is still not large enough for the family's needs.

She and Robert, a £1,600-a-month delivery driver whom she married in May 2010, are on a waiting list for a seven-bedroom house.

Cheryl added: "My kids think I am mad, but Katie Price took back her husband after he cheated.

"We are having marriage counselling and renewing our vows. We will make it work this time."

She revealed how Robert was in tears when he begged her to take him back last week.

She told the magazine: "He came back crying and said he had missed us so much. It is really hard because I love him and the kids were so happy he was home.

"He is very helpful around the house and does night feeds and cooks. It is different this time. He is truly sorry and won't do it again."

They now face the problem of having to raise £2,000 to pay for the vasectomy reversal as they cannot get it done free on the NHS.

She added: "I am looking forward to our daughter's birth in July and then trying for a thirteenth baby - but it is an unlucky number so I won't stop there."

Robert said : "I know I am in the wrong, but I really missed Cheryl and the kids. I can't wait to have another baby with her."
