THE MOTHER OF OCTUPLETS TALKS

NBC’s Ann Curry is the first journalist to land an interview will Nadya Suleman, the woman who gave birth to octuplets last week. That’s her on the left. She was released from the hospital today (February 5).

Their sit-down won’t air for a few more days but FYB has a few highlights from what the mother-of-14 had to say.

On how an only child ended up with 14 children: “That was always a dream of mine, to have a large family, a huge family, and– I just longed for certain connections and attachments with another person that I really lacked, I believe, growing up. I was lacking a feeling of self and identity. I didn’t feel as though, when I was a child, I had much control of my environment. I felt powerless. And that gave me a sense of predictability. Reflecting back on my childhood, I know it wasn’t functional. It was pretty — pretty dysfunctional, and whose isn’t? ”

On how long before she first got pregnant: “Well, I went through about seven years of trying. And– through artificial insemination. And through medication. And all of which was unsuccessful. And then the first– IVF procedure from that– from that facility– it was successful. And then I just kept going in.”

As for how she plans to feed and clothe her babies? showing she received nearly $168 000 in disability benefits. Suleman reportedly received nearly $168 000 as compensation over injuries she suffered during a 1999 riot at a California mental hospital where she worked. That ought to last all of one month!

    There is at least 12 or 13 “I’s” or “Me’s” in her psycho-speak. Selfish much?

    Wow. Eight kids all at once is a huge responsibility, especially for a first time mother. This is her dream though and if she is in the right position to be able to look after them, then I don’t see what the problem is. Congratulations to her and good luck!

    Stephi, she is NOT a first time mom. She already has SIX at home.

    BTW - she’s NOT in a position to care for them. She’s been living with her mother and has filed bankruptcy.

    This woman is a fucking idiot and the doctor who implanted 8 embryos should have his license revoked. She DOES NOT have the financial means to care for them. Who the hell wants 8 babies at once except you know who.

    Does anyone else think she sounds like Angelina? If you read the rest of the interview, she goes to say how her childhood “was pretty dysfunctional”.

    I guess Meme does lol, sorry didn’t read that part.

    As a card-carrying bleeding-heart liberal I feel really weird taking shots at anybody’s reproductive choices or their need for state assistance, but WTF, woman?! Not to sound paternalistic, but this woman sounds disturbed, and is obviously not in a place to be making these kinds of medical decisions.

    No more human litters

    Look at her BAD NOSE JOB and PHONY FISH LIPS! She is spending her “disability” money on BAD PLASTIC SURGERY!!!
    This chick is horrible, and even her mother has had enough of her.

    In order to adopt a stray dog from the pound you have to fill out an application and prove that you have a fit home. This woman without any visable means of support and SIX children already at home can pop in for fertility treatments and birth 8 children without any mental/financial background checks? Something wrong here.

    This woman clearly has mental issues; and now that I see her and see that she’s had plastic surgery to make herself look like Angleina Jolie (who is also pretty nuts) I think this whole thing looks like a case for Child Protection Services.
    What I’d really like to know is what fertility clinic had this full blown crazy lady come in and then thought “Let’s plant a whole bunch of eggs in her”. These people should be forced to support and protect these babies for the rest of their lives.

    18, i was thinking the same thing. she has the same nose job as angelina and those lips are horrible. she is spending her money on this??? i’m glad i don’t live in california because if my tax dollars were going to her i would go to her house and punch the collagen out of her lips!

    Why so hostile???
    Because this PLASTIC SURGERY JUNKY is getting $800 a month PER CHILD from the State of California and will now start collecting another $6400!!!!!
    She will be getting $134,400 a YEAR from the State, of which I am a taxpayer.
    They should take those kids away and give them to DESERVING couples who don’t have ANY children.

    It is also being talked about that she went to BRAZIL to have the eggs implanted, because no doctor in the US would do more than 2 at a time for a woman under the age of 35.
