Update about that woman that had Octuplets

sounds like my grandma.. she had 13 kids under 12 :lol: :lol:
 
I KNOW I couldnt cope! lol!
I hope she gets some help, she will NEED help!! Imagine having 8 babies! Yes very very hard work but how cute!! :D
I dont understand how she intends to breastfeed each of them though :think: surely theres not enough hours in the day! Maybe she will mix feed them?! So they still get some benefit??! Good on her! I hope she manages it!! :cheer:
 
good grief, that bought me out in a cold sweat!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
 
Amazing!

I've got a pal with 5 under 5. She had one, then got pregnant with twins, then another set of twins! :shock:

Thing is, her house, kids and her are always spotless and so well organised....I guess you just have to be!
 
:shock: I bet she just works on auto pilot.
 
i read in the paper she is also a single parent.... :shock: :clap: :clap:
 
apparently she doesnt have a partner and works in a fertility treatment center....is the staff discount free samples? :think: :rotfl:
 
Wow. I can understand her decision not selectively abort her unborn, must be an awful decision. I wish her all the best. Carrying 8 babies to 31 weeks gestation is phenomenal.
 
I couldn't cope, I had an 11 month old little boy one afternoon who screamed for 3 hours and in the end I wanted to pull my hair out! :rotfl:
 
:shock: :shock:
my 5 are a handful at times, i could'nt imagine having 14 kids age 7 and under
 
It's now emerged that she DID have IVF, contrary to initial reports. How the hell can the doctors justify putting in eight embryos, when the woman obviously doesn't have a problem carrying pregnancies to term? And why did she have IVF in the first place? She's 33 with six young kids - doesn't sound like a woman in need of IVF to me :think:

So much just doesn't add up... obviously it's her decision, and good luck to her, but I'm sure there's more to this story that we're not being told.
 
it seems the ivf place she worked at paid for all her kids, there's something very fishy about this story. :think:

She's unmarried and lives with her divorced parents with all the kids and the mother thinks she's mentaly unwell. She cant afford the kids shes got so it looks like its all a money making thing and the ivf doctors will get the glory - it's as if she is being used as an ivf advertisement of sorts!
There are no fathers, all sperm donors.

It's so not right this was allowed to happen, not when there are so many good families dying for kids and cant afford ivf.
 
if it's publicity on behalf of the clinic, it's a crap ad.

I mean, if you were in need of IVF, would you seriously think of going to a place that will willingly endanger a woman's life, plus those of her unborn children? I'd steer clear of it like the plague. I'd want to make sure my doctors were responsible and knew what they were doing - and this story makes me think the doctors involved were neither.

I would think that as more details emerge, no company is going to want to touch this woman with a bargepole. If you were, say, Pampers, would you want your name associated with a mentally disturbed woman with 6 other kids, living with her parents, etc etc? It's not their usual image, and could be a PR disaster. They'd be more likely to sponsor the heartrending case of the couple who'd tried for 10 years, blah blah blah. Apparently she's now saying that she won't give an interview for less than $2m - and the US networks are allegedly queueing up. But there are already hints that none of them will pay that much, especially since the tide of public opinion has turned.

I think it's pretty sad. If she did it for the money, she could well end up with 14 kids and poorer than before. Her dad has already had to come out of retirement and works as a contractor in Iraq (where he can earn extra money) to pay for the first six.
