Just go natural.

Eight babies at once. Already having six kids. Broke. Living with her mom. Angelina Jolie look alike. Oh you know who I'm talking about! And if you don't, you really need to get your head out of your ass and catch up on some current events.
So this lady from California, Nadia something or other, was married. They were unable to have kids. After a back injury at work, they divorced and she started getting disability checks that she lived off of. Apparently, growing up, she was an only child and always longed for siblings so she could have that connection. Ok, understandable. Well after getting a divorce, she got a friend to donate his sperm so she could get pregnant. She said that during her marriage, she had an ectopic(?) pregnancy, she she was scared she couldn't have kids. But she ended up having six, all within five and a half years. She said she always wanted a large family. Well that seems fine to me. She started going to school and supported herself and her kids on her disability check and student loans. Dumb? I think so. Then she says that she lives with her mom. Who declared bankrupcy. Good going. Apparently she kept going to the same fertility doctor, even though her mom says she went to a different one for the last one. And the last one she was inserted with six embryos and ended up having eight babies. Are you kidding me?
First of all, she already has six kids. She is not working, not making any income. Plus, her disability stopped, so all she has are school loans. Well, she will have to pay them back. How can she do that when she is not working? Oh, and she is getting food stamps and some disability because three of her six kids have some problems, such as ADD and autism. I think she seems like a great mom. When they showed videos of her interacting with them, she seemed like a good mom. And I commend her for going to school.
But why get six more embryos? She claims that the doctor told her that her biological clock was maturing faster than normal. Plus, she doesn't believe in throwing embryos away. She said it's throwing a life away. Ok, that's understandable. But if what she said is true, and she did go to the same fertility doctor every time, why did that doctor put six more embryos inside her? I realize that it was his patient's wish, but a few other doctors were consulted and each one said that they would not have done it.
So, eight babies. Fourteen children, in one small house. Living on student loans and $400 each month in food stamps. No job. Lip implants that she says she did not get. However, in every single picture of her, she has thin lips. And during her interview, her lips were huge. So, if she lied about her lips, couldn't she have lied about going to the same fertility doctor?
There's nothing wrong with wanting a large family. She talked about how it's ok for a husband and wife to have eighteen or so children. Yeah well, they are married, have a house that is large enough for a family that size, and at least one of them has a steady income. You, lady, have no job, no income, and are single. Big difference. Plus, she blames being an only child. She says that she never had that connection with a sibling, which lead to her wanting some kind of emotional connection. Plus, she didn't want her children to be only children. Well, I'm an only child and I sure as hell don't want that many kids. I have plenty of emotional connections.
They interviewed a phsycologist. He is not involved in her life, but based on everything he knows about her, he gave his opinion and I agree with it. She is being selfish. She wants some kind of connection so she has all these babies. She is being selfish because she is not thinking about her kids' future. She is only concerned with her happiness. She has some kind of child bearing need that she needs to fulfill.
Seeing pictures and videos of these eight babies that she gave birth to in January, after being pregnant for only five or six months, made me want to cry. Their heads were smaller than her hand. They are not even fully developed. Their skin is pinkish and somewhat transparent, as well as wrinkly. My biggest issue with the whole thing is also my issue with fertility drugs.
Having more than three or four babies at once is basically unheard of. At least naturally. And if it's not natural, it should not be done. If God intended for us to have eight babies at once, he would make it happen, and he would make it work for the best. If you are unable to have a child for any reason, then God made you that way for a reason. So adopt. There are plenty of "unwanted" babies out there that need homes. And if you really feel the need to go with fertility drugs, you should not have more than three or four at a time. There are so many risks with eight babies at once. First of all, for yourself. So many different complications can arise. Then, for the babies. They cannot be carried full term, which is how it is supposed to be done. And when a baby is not carried full term, they can die. If they don't die, they have the potential for many health problems. Mental disabilites. Physical disabilities. Don't you want a healthy baby? Why take the risk? There are enough children born with disabilites, and they are born the natural way. For God's sake!
I feel so horribly bad for this lady's children. Every single one of them. The eldest six, one who has autism, one who has ADD, and one who has signs of autism, aren't too bad off. The youngest eight, we don't know yet. It's too soon to tell. But none of them have much chance at having an easy childhood. Money struggles is the biggest thing. And they only have their mother to blame. How long until they realize this and start blaming her? Maybe, if she is lucky, they won't. And for their sake, I hope they get help.
