The fertilized egg isn't in the uterus. It can attach itself in the fallopian tubes which can be detrimental to the mother's health.

And the pregnancy would not be carried to term, but would have to be surgically removed.

Thanks for the explanation. So it's possible she suffered from 'replacement baby' symptom. I thought as much.

What in the world is "replacement baby syndrome"?

Nevermind. I just found it on the anti-abortion website. Again, another made up diagnosis by a layperson promoting a personal agenda.
 
dear god, as the saying goes, 2's company, 3's a crowd but 8 makes a good party lol

remembers me of an old scottish joke back in crofter days, the midwife was called to deliver a baby in a remote croft, it was dark so she asked the husband to hold the lamp so she could see what she was doing....

congratulations sir, you have a son, wait there's another, congratulations you have a daughter, twins... oh wait there's another, congratualtions sir you have another son, triplets... at the point the husband blows out the lamp..
the midwife calls,, WHAT ARE YOU DOING I CANT SEE WHAT IM DOING< PUT THE LAMP BACK ON...

WHITTIER, Calif. — The veil of secrecy octuplets' mother Nadya Suleman shrouded herself in for more than a week was lifted Thursday with the release of public documents showing that the 33-year-old struggled with depression for years until she finally began to realize her childhood dream of having a huge family.

According to the state documents, which were released to the AP following a public records request, Suleman was injured Sept. 18, 1999, when a riot involving nearly two dozen patients broke out in the women's ward of the Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk.

As she was helping other staffers restrain a patient, a desk thrown at her by another patient hit her in the back. It caused damage to her spine and left her complaining of headaches and intense pain throughout her lower body for years.

If she had constant pain in her lower body, then how the fuck did she carry two individual babies, two sets of twins, and then OCTUPLETS? The pregnancies would have to be PAINFUL.

I have a back injury plus hip dysplasia, and as a result, am in a lot of pain a lot of the time, so I do not want to carry a baby right now, UNTIL I have my back and my hip fixed, and if the pain does go away, the I might think about a baby. But now? No way! Not even if it was a single baby. I definitely do not want to be in constant pain during my pregnancy as I would not be able to take pain meds because they would harm the fetus. So, nope.

I saw the mom on TV today. She looks like she's had plastic surgery. I wonder who paid for that?

Anyway, during the interview, she said that she wanted babies because she was lonely growing up as an only child.

I saw the news today, and they are claiming she had plastic surgery. Earlier today I was thinking that she looked a lot like Angelina Jolie especially with the lips. Then this evening I saw on the news that they are saying she looks like AJ...I was like BINGO! They said that some people are claiming she had plastic surgeries to look like AJ. But if she did, who paid for the surgeries, since she is on welfare? Or does the state of California pay for plastic surgeries too? :shock: If so, that is wasteful use of taxpayers' money! :mad2:

It sure is interesting. Thanks for the link. :ty:

2. If she hurt her back so badly that she can't work, how could she expect to carry a multi-baby pregnancy without problems? As all women who have been pregnant know, even one baby in the womb can cause a lot of strain on your back.

I was thinking that. Ouch. I have a back injury, and cannot work at this point, so no baby for me. Obviously she wasn't functioning with a full brain.

I was just reading some more about the mother's statements on CNN. She seems to think that a career in counseling is going to make her rich. :rofl2:

Evidently, she wasn't paying too close of attention in her classes, because one of the first things they tell you is, "If you are in it to make money, you are in the wrong field. You will be underpaid and overworked."

True.

I was a psychology major at one point (briefly), but then realized that there is a high rate of burnout in that field, and that the pay could be shit, so I switch majors to graphic design. I don't deal well with stress.
 
Just read in my local paper where the doctor responsible for the IVF is being actively investigated by the Medical Board.

same doctor from this thread?

I agree. I saw it coming when the medical ethicists spoke out immediately after the birth. The doctor is being investigated not just for the implantation of the 8 embryos, but also for agreeing to implant at all given that this was a single mother with 6 children.

Dang! Looks like Angelina Jolie.

Maybe Angelina would star her in an upcoming movie if it ever gets that far....

I seen the news as well too. I know some people will say it crazy to have 5, 6 , 7 or 8 babies to carry that many babies inside a woman. But it the woman's business if she want to have that many babies it really up to her. We can't judge her business. But if I were in her shoe, I would not want the world to put their nose in my business if I were pregnant with more than one babies inside me. It takes a strong woman to go through something like this and yes I do believe there are always going to be risks invovled to the mother and the baby or more than one baby to carry. Life is always about risks. Even if a mother carry one baby inside it still a risk no matter what. But I have to say she is brave to go through something like that. :)

It is other people's business if their taxpayers' dollars are supporting her and her children. People have every right to complain.
