Woman Gives Birth To Octuplets In California

[LCoastMom]

I can't believe she let the kids touch the babies like she did, especially being they were premature.

There should be no problem with the sibs touching the babies as long as an adult has washed their hands first (we can hope that happened off camera or as she was driving up). If they touch the toes or the back/sides of the heads. Not the hands or the faces, all should be well. The babies have antibodies from Nadya to whatever lives in their home. When there are already 6 kids in the home she can't raise the babies in a bubble. But she needs to use some common sense. Which she has already proved she has none of.

With 7, 8, 9 people already living in the house plus the nurses and volunteer feeder/holders, those new babies have more than enough to adjust to without inviting in the press corp, or even 1 film crew.

Boyz_mum part of the difference with you bringing your son home and Nadya bringing the Octs home is she is not a first time mom. If your son was term and healthy and she was normal and only bring 1 term healthy baby home also, the differences in how you each would be with that baby would be night and day. It's just the way we are with our first babies. And it's OK. It's how we learn what we have to do to keep a child alive and well. I sterilized everything I put in my #1's mouth even tho I had been in nurses training in college and her pedi told me not to (he said to use that time to sleep!!). We see germs in the cleanest places with our 1st born!

Mr E, I realized the child wasn't missing, sorry for mis-wording the statement. I didn't realize that it was a line from The Changeling! Good grief I hope the CFS worker who gets the case is aware! I completely missed that. One more piece to the rope that will hang her. Those poor, poor babies, all 14 of them.

missmybaby, I understand what you are saying, and mine was a 1st born, not healthy and expected to die within the 1st year of life. I am pretty opinionated about germs and the transfer of germs. It's only because that was my 1st experience with birthing- the 2nd and 3rd times it was quite the same because of the 1st experience. Even though the 2nd and 3rd babies were healthy and only delivered a little earlier than the due date. (Just in case, there was a "team on hand" if the 2nd and 3rd were born with the same condition as #1, thankfully we didn't have to utilize the "crew".)

All of the situation is so hard to grasp, IMO, since my opinion is colored by my own experience with NICU and bringing home ONE special baby. I just can't imagine what Nadya's future and the children and babies future could hold if she doesn't enter the "reality" of it all.

All of it rubs me in such a bad way (and yet, here I am, reading and commenting!) I wish I could blame it all on "maternal instinct", but I truly believe all the children are in some sort of danger under Nadya's care. It is so sad! (IMO...)

I totally agree and I believe many 'experts' feel the same way.

Yes when we are given this gift of a beautiful child and there are special needs involved, it changes us for ever.

I had a friend way back when who delivered her first very early. He was perfect but ultra tiny. She spent most of her pregnancy with him on bed rest. As soon as she found herself pregnant w/ #2 she just about put herself on bed rest for no reason! Her #2 & #3 were both term normal size babies but she was a nut case before they were born.

I had what I felt was an unnecessary c/sect with my #1 (6# 15oz). I had a VBAC with a (#2) 9# 8oz & a (#3) 7# 8oz. With #3 there was no question but with #2 I had to change docs 3 times to do what I felt was best for my baby. And I was pretty crazy by the time he was born 2+ weeks late!

 

[Boyz_Mum]

missmybaby, you are one brave girl in my book! (I'm probably sort of like your friend and I might be a worse nutcase... lol!)

I guess the best we can all do is pray for the children, all 14 of them.

No, I wasn't brave, terrified was more like it and crazy as they come. Cracks me up now I listen to my daughters friends who are pregnant or were recently. You would think they invented the condition! And I know I was the same way all those years ago.

Well the good news is this kind of nuttiness we all get over sooner or later! Nadya not so much! She has the kind of nutty that sticks!

Cos after all she's been suffering since her lonely, 'only' childhood! It's undoubtedly all her mother's fault for selfishly refusing to have more kids after her marriage failed.

I wonder how many of Nadya's kids wish they had the same problem?

 

[JMO8778]

I dunno,but can any one of us here say we'd like to have Nadya..or someone like her..as a mom???? I put that out to the ones who want to side with her.....YOU would not want this person as a mom,either.YOu would want someone who's mature and responsible!
For starters,she made sure there would never be any father for these kids,right from the beginning.It's one thing to end up a single mom..I know,I've been there (and as far as I'm concerned,he made a true hero out of me!),but it's entirely another to ensure your kids will never have a father!!
And that's just for starters (although I don't take that lightly!!)

Thanks for pointing out the obvious lack of a father in the household. Strange, huh. You suppose it's because she knows no man would put up with her? Actually, man or woman, who could ever put up with her. She is so weird.
I'm also wondering if it might be possible that irresponsible Nayda might not remember she has six other babies waiting at the hospital and she would forget to pick them up. I can just hear the call from the hospital reminding her.
No, she won't forget her claim to fame. She'll be there to pick up the other six and then go back and see if there are any unclaimed.

Things continue to get more creepy in this "mess" as the Octo-Mom calls it in
her latest RadarOnline.com interview.

http://www.radaronline.com/exclusiv...-octo-mom-reveals-octo-dad-details-first-time


Why does she lay across a bed for the interview? A very strange way to position oneself when the world is looking to see if she is a fit mother.

Can't bear to ever watch these things. I'll wait for someone else's take on it. But ty for posting link. She's a few banana skins short of a full bunch.

She's positioned that way because she's Angelina #2. Remember!

 

[RhythmicSun]

That video is just plain silly and creepy.

Keep building CPS's case for them, Nadya. You're doing a great job!

 

[Boyz_Mum]

That is an odd interview. Why would she have her son in the room while giving it? She kind of acts like a 6th grader who got caught calling boys or something- not at all serious. I wonder if the donor is absolutely livid about this?

She's a tool.

Octo Mom at it again

http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/03/exclusive-video-day-one-kids-not-good-octo-mom

AAARRRR, Reclining on a bed Octo mom plays word games with her videographer about the daddy of her kids. He's in CA, "Yes, let's say that" is he a civilian? "no he's not a civilian" She says she spoke with him recently and he is angry at the doctor, "Doesn't the doctor know you already have 5 kids?" She replies "Yes he knows I have 6 of your children" then she said he claims he forgot about the twins!!

Do you think he'd make a good dad? "Yes, he's a very good father." ???? All this as her 7 y.o. son listens on!!! So her son knows his father is a good dad to someone, just not to him!!!!

Video posted 3/19. The reporter says. Everyone noticed your mom wasn't here to greet the babies. "That's right she didn't." Funny from the video I watched, her mom was locked in a bedroom with one of Nadya's toddlers.

She claims her mother isn't interested in the new babies. Perhaps Gma is too busy caring for the older kids to be swept up with the new ones, perhaps she doesn't want to get attached to new babies she thinks the state is going to take away...

Nadya claims her mother was neglected and abused in post war Germany, then perpetuated that onto Nadya.

The reporter states he noticed Gma is always careful to make a scene when people are around. Does this mean when the lights and cameras go to bed Gma becomes all sweetness and light? I don't think so. I think Gma feels used and abused by years of Nadya's lies. She knows what has gone on behind the scene for the last 7 years. She has been right there in the thick, caring for and loving these 6 kids. IDK but if my mother had mistreated me as badly as Nadya feels her mother did her, no way in he!! she'd be around my kids.

Every day Nadya sounds more and more like the sniveling, spoiled brat she is. I'd like to tell her: Woman you are well over 30 years old, get over it already! You can't claim in one breath your mother was abused, so she abused you; then let the world watch her care for your kids!!! Have you ever thanked her for everything she's done for you and your kids? Giving all of you a house to live in, paying for whatever the kids needed, while you spent your money on you. On making more babies, on making your nose look just like "you know who" and plumping your lips beyond all normal proportions...

None of us had a perfect childhood. It doesn't exist! But I'll tell you one thing. Your kids are gonna remember who was there everyday. Who kissed their boo-boos and tucked them into bed at night.

And yeah, Nadya we all know you got "a couple little opportunities" that are enabling you to stay home full time with your kids, buy a $500,00.00+ home for your kids and a new wardrobe for you. I hope you remember to thank those little opportunities every chance you get.

 

[RhythmicSun]

The off-camera interviewer for radaronline reminds me of Howard K. Stern and Anna Nicole Smith's "clown" interview. His voice is sickeningly smarmy and patronizing.

 

[JMO8778]

that is a really strange video...first she says biodad's not in the country,then she says he is..among other things..she strikes me as being on the emotional level of a 12 YO.(not to insult 12 yo's...I'm sure most are smarter than she is!).then she points to her son in regards to what he looks like??? poor kid.I'm sure he doesn't know wth to think...and never will.
I agree,she just gets herself into it deeper,the more she goes..it's not going to be hard at all for them to take the kids from her.
the way she is seemingly lying makes me think more than ever that octo-dad is an anonymous sperm donor...one she picked out via stats...hair color,eyes,etc.,and I suspect one or more of them have different bio dads..esp her dark haired,dark skinned daughter..no way she shares the same biodad as her blond brother Noah.(IMO!!!!!!)

I predict she will call 911 and threaten to kill herself,the day her kids are removed from her care.just a hunch..(wonder how I came up w that one,LOL)

She's a celebrity and she needs her beauty rest as she does her close up.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious lack of a father in the household. Strange, huh. You suppose it's because she knows no man would put up with her? Actually, man or woman, who could ever put up with her. She is so weird.

If the hospital is smart they will release the girls last! Remember that's why she did this, she wanted 1 more little girl!!

Oddly her ex boyfriend and ex husband both speak highly of her. The boyfriend was actually moved to tears when talking about the help she needed. Yeah, she needs help. Not the kind he meant, but we all know it.

I think she had these kids by herself because as part of her problem she doesn't want to "share" them with someone else who would love them the way she thinks she does and she doesn't want someone else getting that love from them in return.

I know some women chose to be single moms because they aren't in a relationship and time is running out or the time is right in their life to have a child before Mr Right arrives on the scene. But how many who aren't independently wealthy would attempt to make 7 babies? How many who already have 6 kids ages 2 to 7, with at least 2 who are handicapped, 1 seriously so, would attempt #7? (the original 6+1 more)

How many set out to make a family with no thoughts of a father ever being in the kids lives. How many become single moms intentionally depriving the kids of a father? Am I asking this correctly?

Did anyone else think Nadya had all these kids from this guy with the intent on snagging him some how? Early on she wistfully said she hopes someday the dad becomes part of the picture.

I get the feeling she wanted more from the relationship than he did straight off. She wanted a baby, she probably lied like she did to the ex bf about this being a 1 shot, now or never deal. He was probably just flattered enough to believe what she said. Donated his sperm for her to have "A" (single) baby, now 14 kids later he beyond feeling abused by his generosity. And feels like an idiot for ever giving her this little gift. IDK, just a hunch.

has anyone noticed how small she is? how in the heck has she lost all that weight so fast? she doesnt even look like she has a tummy....which she should have an enormous amount of extra skin there

Have there been any reports of the paparazzi stalking them this time? (The article says the girls were taken home quietly.)

One good thing is I think the article said one of the girls was up to 5lbs 2oz. The weight gain is so encouraging!
