Sounds pretty irresponsible to me.  Why is a couple with six kids trying to make more, when they're having trouble supporting their existing family? 

Mother of octuplets has six other children

(CNN) -- The mother of a woman who gave birth on Monday to octuplets said her daughter already has six children at home and was undergoing fertility treatment.

Dr. Karen Maples is part of the large team of doctors and nurses that helped deliver the octuplets.

 The Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday that Angela Suleman said her daughter had the embryos implanted last year, resulting in the eight births.

"They all happened to take," Suleman told the Times. "I looked at those babies. They are so tiny and so beautiful."

The woman declined to have the number of embryos reduced when she discovered she was carrying multiples, the Times reported. The six older siblings range from ages 7 to 2, according to the newspaper.

Suleman said she was concerned about her daughter's homecoming because her husband, a contract worker, is due to return to Iraq.

In the meantime, the mother, who remains unidentified, appealed for privacy while she recovers from giving birth, medical officials said Thursday.

In her written statement delivered by Dr. Karen Maples of the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center in California, the woman who delivered eight babies in five minutes said she would soon make public the details of her "miraculous experience."

"We understand that you are all curious about the arrival of the octuplets, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy," she said.

"The babies continue to grow strong every day and make good progress. My family and I are ecstatic about all of their arrivals."

"Needless to say, the eighth was a surprise to us all, but a blessing as well," she added.

The six boys and two girls -- ranging in weight from 1 pound, 8 ounces to 3 pounds, 4 ounces -- are doing well following their Caesarean-section delivery at the Bellflower hospital, doctors said. They were born nine weeks premature.

Dr. Mandhir Gupta, a neonatalist, said all but one of the octuplets are now breathing on their own. That baby might be taken off breathing equipment Friday.

Caring for eight premature babies is a challenge. Duties are being shared by a large team of hospital nurses and doctors for the time being. Two nurses have been assigned to each child, and all the babies are receiving fluids, proteins and vitamins intravenously, Gupta said.

"We feed them. ... We change diapers. ... When they cry, we console them," Gupta said. "When the mom comes and touches the babies, you can definitely see their expression on their faces and body. They are very happy."

The babies, who are being referred to by letters of the alphabet, will remain in the hospital for at least seven more weeks.

Baby H made headlines for its surprise appearance during the delivery, which took months of preparation by a team of doctors, nurses and respiratory therapists.  Watch a report on babies' progress »

The mother will not be able to hold her babies for another week, Gupta said. They are still fragile, developing intestines, he said.

Doctors initially thought the mother was pregnant with seven fetuses. She was hospitalized seven weeks ago and ordered to bed rest.

During the seven weeks, a team of 46 physicians, nurses and other staff members prepared for the births. When they started the delivery Monday, they were in for a surprise.

"After the seventh baby was born, we were taking a sigh of relief," Maples said.

"It was a surprise of our life when we in fact discovered there was an eighth baby," she said. "We never had an assignment for baby H nurse or baby H doctor. We just had to go on the fly and figure out what to do."

"Baby G nurse stepped up. We handed off the baby to baby G nurse. She then delivered that last baby to the neonatologist of the baby F."

"It was all wonderful because of the teamwork and the training we did before," Maples said.

I am not sure where you got this story from, but here is the latest from the ASSOCIATED PRESS saying this woman has NO HUSBAND and the father of the children is some man (David Solomon) who donated sperm... Seems this chick is MENTALLY SICK and obsessed with having children with no means of taking care of them

Grandma: Octuplets mom obsessed with having kids
By RAQUEL MARIA DILLON, Associated Press Writer Raquel Maria Dillon, Associated Press Writer Sat Jan 31, 10:30 am ET

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."

Nadya Suleman, 33, gave birth Monday in nearby Bellflower. She was expected to remain in the hospital for at least a few more days, and her newborns for at least a month.

A spokeswoman at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center said the babies were doing well and seven were breathing unassisted.

While her daughter recovers, Angela Suleman is taking care of the other six children, ages 2 through 7, at the family home in Whittier, about 15 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

She said she warned her daughter that when she gets home from the hospital, "I'm going to be gone."

Angela Suleman said her daughter always had trouble conceiving and underwent in vitro fertilization treatments because her fallopian tubes are "plugged up."

There were frozen embryos left over after her previous pregnancies and her daughter didn't want them destroyed, so she decided to have more children.

Her mother and doctors have said the woman was told she had the option to abort some of the embryos and, later, the fetuses. She refused.

Her mother said she does not believe her daughter will have any more children.

"She doesn't have any more (frozen embryos), so it's over now," she said. "It has to be."

Nadya Suleman wanted to have children since she was a teenager, "but luckily she couldn't," her mother said.

"Instead of becoming a kindergarten teacher or something, she started having them, but not the normal way," he mother said.

Her daughter's obsession with children caused Angela Suleman considerable stress, so she sought help from a psychologist, who told her to order her daughter out of the house.

"Maybe she wouldn't have had so many kids then, but she is a grown woman," Angela Suleman said. "I feel responsible and I didn't want to throw her out."

Yolanda Garcia, 49, of Whittier, said she helped care for Nadya Suleman's autistic son three years ago.

"From what I could tell back then, she was pretty happy with herself, saying she liked having kids and she wanted 12 kids in all," Garcia told the Long Beach Press-Telegram.

"She told me that all of her kids were through in vitro, and I said 'Gosh, how can you afford that and go to school at the same time?"' she added. "And she said it's because she got paid for it."

Garcia said she did not ask for details.

Nadya Suleman holds a 2006 degree in child and adolescent development from California State University, Fullerton, and as late as last spring she was studying for a master's degree in counseling, college spokeswoman Paula Selleck told the Press-Telegram.

Her fertility doctor has not been identified. Her mother told the Los Angeles Times all the children came from the same sperm donor but she declined to identify him.

Birth certificates reviewed by The Associated Press identify a David Solomon as the father for the four oldest children. Certificates for the other children were not immediately available.

The news that the octuplets' mother already had six children sparked an ethical debate. Some medical experts were disturbed to hear that she was offered fertility treatment, and troubled by the possibility that she was implanted with so many embryos.

Others worried that she would be overwhelmed trying to raise so many children and would end up relying on public support.

The eight babies — six boys and two girls — were delivered by Cesarean section weighing between 1 pound, 8 ounces and 3 pounds, 4 ounces. Forty-six physicians and staff assisted in the deliveries.

Mc ANUS did you read the article??? The woman clearly has something mentally wrong with her. Her mother stood by her at first but now seeing that standing by was the wrong thing to do she is now ready to make her go at this alone...

Yeah I did fuckstick.  Everyone who does anything wrong or stupid has a mental health problem nowadays.  Gimme a break.  They should deport her and her fucking family back to Mexico.  Maybe her stupid fucking parents should have done more to get her help.

MENTAL ILLNESS DOES NOT MEAN SHE IS STUPID...The woman has intelligence enough to make her way through college...nonetheless she lacks the good sense to know that the fantasy she has of having 12 children (now she has 14) is not an intelligent thing to desire. Nonetheless the damage is now done and her mother is ready to leave her ass to the wilds of life. In her mothers desire to help her daughter she actually hurt her in making it possible for her to live out this demented fantasy...Reminds me of that other crazy lady in Pennsylvania who had 18 kids and wants more...at least in her case she is married, but nonetheless how can her husband afford this being that he is the only one working???

And she should be intelligent enough to know she has a problem.  Quit making excuses for this bitch.  The only thing she has done is exposed the holes in our system.  Her parents don't need to abandoned her........the three of them and their shitty kids need to go the fuck back to Mexico legal or not.  Now that she has a mental health problem I guess the US tax payers are going to have to pay for that too?

I think some people really do love children.
Now, to this extreme, there is a huge problem.  If you can't support the children you have why have more?
The mental stability is obviously at issue here.

And I don't think she will get a reality show.  She is not "all there" and who would want to take the responsibility of the long term implications of the mental health of the children?

I live about 15 miles from where this took place, and people are PISSED. When I first heard about this the first thing that came to mind was welfare.

Hang outside the hospital in the trees and stuff and get the first pics and sell them to the tabloids. :D

The woman is clearly a nutbag, and the whole "in Mexico" doesn't add up, some are reporting that some are not. Where did she get the cash?

What really stinks is that the hospital where these kids are now is probably not the one who ias responsible for her getting pregnant in the first place. 

These doctors should be stuck with the bill.

OK MCASSHOLE...It is clear you have more than your fair share of mental problems yourself lacking understanding of what has been said multiple times to you

INTELLIGENCE is a separate process from making choices. A person may be able to pass all types of college exams, but is unable to make even simple life choices. Kinda like the drunk CUM LAUD college student getting behind the wheel of a car...not a wise choice

EXCUSES...I have made none...IT IS YOU who are making the excuses. I merely stated the obvious that she is mentally sick...CAN'T MAKE COMMON SENSE LIFE CHOICES.

HOLE IN THE SYSTEM...what holes are you talking about? Nowhere in the article does it say she is on welfare, or has legal representation or anything for that matter..What she did say is she was COMPENSATED for this act...meaning she VOLUNTEERED to be a guinea pig for this hospital/doctors/invitro procedure.

Her mother has had it with her and realizes the mistake she made by making her situation possible (living in the mothers home ...mother supporting her) in having all of these children...had she been on her own supporting herself her decisions would have been regulated by the fact that she would not have been able to support these children BY HERSELF..thereby restricting this warped dream off having many.

So far as your racist attitude of go back to Mexico...keep in mind THE NATIVE PEOPLE OF AMERICA SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT WHITES...except in their case they have good reason to say it.

Octuplets' Mom Wants $2 Million From Oprah, Media Deals
Monday, February 02, 2009 

The single mother of octuplets born in California last week is seeking $2 million from media interviews and commercial endorsements to help pay the costs of raising the children.

Nadya Suleman, 33, plans a career as a television childcare expert after it emerged last week that she already had six children before giving birth on Monday. She now has 14 children younger than 8.

Although still confined to a Los Angeles hospital bed, she intends to talk to two influential television hosts this week — media mogul Oprah Winfrey, and Diane Sawyer.

Her family has told agents she needs cash from media deals.

Her earning power, though, could be diminished by a growing ethical and medical controversy. Experts believe that the unnamed fertility specialists who gave her in vitro fertilization (IVF) should not have implanted so many embryos, and in choosing to carry all eight to term, Suleman ignored guidelines, risking both the babies' health and her own.

Public reaction has been mixed: Many have asked how an unemployed single mother can raise 14 children, as her first six have already strained the family budget. Angela and Ed Suleman, Nadya’s parents, bought her a two-bedroom bungalow in the Los Angeles' suburb of Whittier in March 2007, but soon after fell on hard times and had to leave their own home.

What lady is that? The only folks about whom I know with 18 kids are the Duggars, who live in Arkansas.

But, their situation is entiredly different. They have the means to support a family of that size. The father, Jim Duggar, is a self-made millionare and former city or state politician.

Anyone else watch the interview clips? Strange lady.

Also, she's quite pretty, I wondered after seeing her pic why she went with artificial insemination, surely plenty of guys would like up to "do the duty", but mayhaps shes a nutbag too much and they said no.

Shes had plastic surgery, collagen lips for sure, rhinoplasty looks likely, wonder where she gets all this cash as a welfare mom?

That article said opinions are mixed...on what planet did they do that poll?

This lady is nuts and exposed a problem with some fertility clinics.  This needs to be investigated.  She should not be able to receive public assistance either.

Maybe she's subscribes to this philosopy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiverfull

I thought I read that she didn't choose to abort some of the fetuses due to her Christian beliefs
