And I always dreamed of having my own black stallion, but I don't see that happening.

Dude, seriously, she complains about back problems and gets disability for it, but yet makes herself pregnant with 8 BABIES?! Yes, that does WONDERS on your back... this is coming from someone who suffers from chronic back pain and scoliosis.. I'm not looking forward to pregnancy with just 1 child because of this, let alone 8.

Now she will have more back problems. She had a c-section which means an epidural. Most of the people I kow that had Epidurals have had back problems afterwards. I wonder if the Disabilily folks will start questioning her claims now?

If she can carry 8 babies, her back must be in pretty good shape. Fraud?

If she really had such bad back problems she wouldn't have had any other babies after she had that last accident. Anyone that has been pregnant knows how much strain it puts on your back if it's in good shape. I wonder if the insurance carrier will look at her claim a lot closer now.

I've read that some of the suppliers who normally donate in the case of multiple births have not yet because of the controversy in this situation. They said that if they have not donated by now they probably will not. I believe one was Gerbers and the other was Pampers. I haven't read of any offers given to her at this point. There was mention of appearing on Oprah but I think that was the mother's wish and I haven't seen any mention of Oprah approaching her. Not sure of who she's getting flooded with offers from.

I just hope no one gives her anything other maybe a good shrink for her, or a DR. to give her free birth control

[Breezeaway]

She doesnt need birth control, All her kids have been by implant. She doesnt have a husband,she needs a shrink.Suleman said all 14 of her children were born by in vitro fertilization from sperm donated by a friend.

Her mother and dad filed bankruptcy on their home. IMO she has thought this thru and thought she would get rich off of having all these babies from the media.

[Lindsay1973]

We have that same problem here.People are poor and live in townships but they still keeping popping out babies.They assume the government will pay and we are not even as good as other countries when it comes to financial aid.There are plenty of people who would be glad to have just one and would have benefited from fertility treatment...her doctor was irresponsible.

Here's the whole story now

Octuplets' Mom Says She Was Lonely

[momof4CA]

What did you guys think of her interview?

[browniesmom622]

Wow she says she not on welfare.

"Meanwhile, Suleman told NBC what her mother and others have said since the octuplets were born: that she always wanted a huge family to make up for the isolation she felt as an only child."

Okay, I'm saying this as an ONLY CHILD myself. It was incredibly lonely and on top of that I moved every 2-3 years because of my dad being in the Army. I was also VERY shy and by the time I made some good friends, I'd have to leave again. I'm certainly not going to have 14 kids!

Having tons of kids in no way makes up for a families dysfunctional issues. My family had it's issues (mom's an alcoholic in denial) and there is no way in hell I would have a ton of children. You have what you can afford and try to rectify the issues you faced as a child. She might not repeat the issues in her household but she sure is making a whole lot of new ones for these kids.
