And in one of her recent Instagram posts, she revealed she's been pregnant pretty much every year from 2007 up until 2025.
The only years she wasn't expecting were 2020 and 2021.
"Years I've been pregnant... basically all of them," she wrote alongside the Reel.
"This reel is always a popular one, so I had to update it to add 2025 after having our sweet baby girl a few months ago!"
Karla wore a pair of black flares and a zip up hoodie in the Instagram video, with people admitting they were as wowed by her incredible figure as her pregnancy revelation.
"How do you stay so thin? You look amazing!!" one wrote.
"Right? I thought the same thing," another added.
"Though looking after 10 kids might be part of it. Lol."
"The amount of stress, movement you have to do for each kid, she has to be active 24/7 all year around," a third insisted.
"She looks better than most without kids!" someone else pointed out.
I DIY-ed a 'professional' level kids' birthday cake for less than £25 using Amazon & eBay buys - I didn't bake a thing
"And you still look so good! Do you exercise outside of housework carrying two children around?" another asked.
Others were less than impressed with Karla's admission about her pregnancies, as one wrote: "Sounds extremely stressful, demanding.
"And sad!"
"Poor kids... they only have 1 mother, and the day only have 24 hours," another added.
"I think this is sickening and very irresponsible!"
"Hey - as someone from a big family, don't do this! Control your fetish," a third sighed.

Their fourth son, also named Armani, was stillborn.
While some comments urged Karla to take the time to give her body a rest between the pregnancies.
"17 times pregnant; 10 kids....your body needs rest!" one insisted.
"My OBGYN had a serious lecture for me - I had two 10 months apart," another said.
"She was like, 'WOAH wait a minute, your body needs to heal'
"But to each his own - this not the flex she thinks it is.
"I still hope she has a safe delivery and healthy baby and then start taking care of HERSELF."
"Yeah I had three in three years and my Drs were not thrilled nor was my body," a third agreed.
"My mum has 8 kids and is pregnant with her 9th baby and when people tell her she needs a break its like telling someone what to do with their body," someone else said.
"Let her do her!"
