Assuming you have obtained BC through naturalisation, then your child will be British from birth. See more -
Citizenship and kids born out of UK.
They might also receive the nationality of the mother depending of her country nationality laws and nationality of the country they are born in depending on the nationality laws of that country

Assuming you have obtained BC through naturalisation .....
... or indeed you were born in the UK, then you will be British otherwise than by descent. However if you were born outside the UK and are only British because one or born of your parents was British, then you are British by descent, and your born-outside-the-UK children will not be British.
