Octuplets mom had 6 already!!

[scooterbug44]

Are we missing something here? What exactly is the definition of "infertility?" I've seen cats who were less fertile than that.

My definition of infertility certainly does not include someone who has had 6 kids.

I think large loving families are great - litters that keep you from giving them the love and attention they need, not so much!

14 kids would come in handy on a thriving alpaca farm.

They ran a story on Today this morning. Looks like the diapers are going to hit the fan. They said that the bill for these babies could cost the taxpayers (?) more than 3 million dollars.

Sounds like they don't know if she was on fertility drugs or if she had a highly unethical invitro procedure.

The one news story I heard said that the girl (30 years old) was single, living with her parents. All I can say is that those first six kids must be angels for her to want to have a seventh. Hell, if she stays single, a 15-passenger van will just barely fit her entire family. So what is her typical day? wake up, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, change diaper, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, feed baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, burp baby, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, rock baby to sleep, change diaper, etc, repeat 4 times, then go to bed.

Well, no wonder she had a fertility procedure to get pregnant. That was probably her routine with the first six- when would she have had sex?

:funn: You've got a point there!

Being a single mom of 14 babies, I bet she will have no problem finding a date, or that perfect husband. lol! OMC!

Right, you probably wouldn't have time for that with 6 kids. Of course, when you're on infertility treatments, you don't have sex to get pregnant. You either have AI, or either everything is already in the lab and ready for implantation. You spend a lot of time at the doctor's office.

Wow -- this is really getting horrifying!

Grandma: Octuplets mom obsessed with having kids - Yahoo! News

LOS ANGELES – The woman who gave birth to octuplets this week conceived all 14 of her children through in vitro fertilization, is not married and has been obsessed with having children since she was a teenager, her mother said.

Angela Suleman told The Associated Press she was not supportive when her daughter, Nadya Suleman, decided to have more embryos implanted last year.

"It can't go on any longer," she said in a phone interview Friday. "She's got six children and no husband. I was brought up the traditional way. I firmly believe in marriage. But she didn't want to get married."

I'm starting to think there should be criminal charges for the doctor(s), and psychiatric evaluation for the "mother." And that the octuplets should be taken away and split up two by two, adopted by parents who can properly care for them.
