The most numerous twins born at the same time. "I hate my children." How does a woman who gave birth to eight twins live A girl who gave birth to 8 children at once

Natalie (Nadi) Sulman, who gave birth to 8 twins in 2009, already had six of her children.

The octomam was talked about a lot in 2009, sometimes mentioned in 2010, in 2011 it was forgotten. A few years ago, Suleman decided to remind herself with another shocking statement. In an interview with InTouch Weekly, the woman, making an exhausted face, admitted ... that she hates her children: “I hate them all. They behave like vile animals (this is very colorfully confirmed by the video, where you can see how one of the kids gnaws at the wall)

According to Nadia, she does not see peace day or night. Sometimes she wants to kill herself to get rid of this nightmare. In addition, the woman said that she and her children might soon die of hunger, as they no longer have money to pay for housing and food. Suleman admitted that she and her children were going to be evicted from the house.

Want to know what her kids look like now? In 2009, the story of Nadia Suleman, who gave birth to octuplets, stirred up all of America. All Nadia's children were born perfectly healthy.

Nadia's doctor, Dr. Kamrava, implanted 12 embryos into her uterus. Later, he was deprived of his license, since usually only 2-3 embryos are subject to implantation.

The octuplets are Noah, Mali, Isaiah, Naria, John, Makai, Josiah and Jeremiah. Nadia decided to fight for her 14 children. She was going to finish school and financially provide for them without the help of the public.

“I know that I can support them all when I finish school. If I just sat on the couch and watched TV, doing nothing to ensure my children have a better future, that would be selfish,” she explained. Several times Nadia appeared on television for financial gain, and also signed a contract for her own reality show. Unfortunately, the show never aired. Another source writes that the show still went on the air, but after several episodes of the show, people became uninteresting in watching Nadia feed, change clothes, and rock her octopus. The show gradually died down, and donations from various charitable foundations became Suleman's only sources of income.

In January, the octuplets celebrated their eighth birthday. Looks like they had a lot of fun!

Now Nadia lives with fourteen children in small house with three bedrooms in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

Raising fourteen children is a big challenge for Nadia. But, when the children grew up a little and became more responsible, it became easier for a woman to cope with them.

In general, the second article (about their current life) has a very enthusiastic tone, but to be honest, I am rather wary of this woman, her actions, statements and her desire to have a whole kindergarten at home. Just a year ago I thought about it, but did not find information. I stumbled across this recently and thought you might be interested.

Eight was conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Doctors in such cases insist on the reduction (removal) of a part of the embryos. After all, such a number of them can adversely affect both the health of the mother and the health of future children.

But the Californian, with the support of her large family, refused to reduce. A single mother, she divorced her husband a long time ago precisely because they could not have children together.

The delivery by caesarean section was nine weeks ahead of schedule. A team of 46 doctors who took birth was expecting the birth of seven babies, which, although not often, does happen. However, there were eight newborns - six boys and two girls - and they are all quite healthy. The weight of babies is from 700 g to 1.9 kg. Seven of them immediately breathed on their own and were bottle fed. The whole family was discharged from the maternity hospital home in just a week.

The reaction of society to this "heroism" was ambiguous, but Nadia did not pay any attention to her.

There were also those who felt sorry for Nadia, believing that the poor thing had disfigured herself and would never get back into shape. However, a year after the birth of the octuples, Suliman posed for the cover of a magazine in a swimsuit - with a story about how she was able to find an attractive appearance ...

But when the truth about Nadia's life surfaced, a scandal ensued. Many condemned the woman and said that with the help of children she was simply trying to become famous and earn money. As it turned out, six more children are waiting for a mother from California at home.

Evil tongues claim that children for Suliman are now the only source of existence. A young mother has been sitting on the neck of the state for a long time, receiving benefits and food stamps. This "feat" of the unemployed Nadia caused only irritation among compatriots who do not want to pay for her passion for reproduction from their own pockets.

And indeed, with the birth of eight babies at once, fashion model Nadia Suliman became known all over the world. HER photos on later dates pregnancies, with an exaggerated bloated belly, appeared in many media.

And immediately after the birth, her agents appeared, who began to send out offers to agencies for paid photographs, interviews, etc. They said that Nadia wants to earn at least two million from these births.

According to average estimates, to support all 14 children under 17, Nadia will need from 1.3 to 2.7 million dollars, not including medical insurance. Realizing this, Nadia put a lot of effort into warming up the interest of the public. As a result, her large family was presented with a huge house. Volunteers help clean it up.

Having achieved this, Nadia continued to shock the public, appearing in unexpected images in front of the ubiquitous reporters.

Nadya Suleman caught the eye of the paparazzi by sneaking out of her California home to do routine household chores. She just took out the garbage and picked up the newspapers from the porch. But even these seemingly ordinary actions caused a storm of indignation among some of her fellow countrymen.

Nadia appeared on the street in striped pajamas, over which a white terry dressing gown was thrown over, and in monster slippers. The apogee was the green mask on Nadia's face. In it, she was very reminiscent of the hero of the movie "Mask". In her hands she carried two babies, and in ... her teeth a bottle of juice. By the way, Nadia looked great, well-groomed and pretty built ... "

The next storm of indignation was caused by an ordinary walk in the park among the public. Nadia and her 8-year-old son Elijah took the twins to the park in two huge strollers, each of which accommodated four babies.

In the park, Nadia laid her children on a blanket, spreading it right on the grass. Nadia dressed the girls in pink suits with the image of Minnie Mouse, and their brothers in green clothes with a painted winnie the pooh.

“Walking with children, of course, can cause stress,” says an eyewitness to the picnic, “but this one looks like a real nightmare. There aren't enough hands to feed so many little mouths!

The kids screamed, pushed each other and their mother. Nadia reacted surprisingly calmly to all this bedlam. With the help of Elijah, she quickly and deftly fed all the children, and the peaceful family went home.

Suleman also opened a website in which she asked for help in order to feed her numerous offspring.

As a result, Nadia achieved main goal- they signed a contract with her, and now a large family is being filmed in a reality show. For a day of filming, each family member is paid $250.

I have to admit, it's a wonderful feeling to watch eight little kids grow up!

They recently celebrated their eighth birthday and had a lot of fun!

During the day they were in the garden, and then they ate vegan pizza and cake.

Birthday was a success!

Raising children is not easy, but now it is already easier for Natalie, because they have grown up and become more responsible.

Not to mention no more diaper changes!

It's nice to see that this huge friendly family is doing well.

But the doctor Michael Kamrava, who performed the artificial insemination of Nadia, was much less fortunate.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine said after giving birth to Nadia that the doctor "demonstrated behavior that grossly violated union standards." This means that it is not recommended to implant more than two embryos in women under 35, but Kamrava took six at once. Later, two of them separated, and Nadia gave birth to eight children at once. Michael Kamrava will no longer be able to continue his practice - medical board The state of California revoked his professional license.

Here are 10 things that unexpectedly confuse the brain, revealing some surprising oddities in its structure and functioning that usually escape our notice.
1. Doors
Have you ever entered a room with a purpose, such as to take something, but completely forget why you came? It turns out that the doors are to blame for these strange memory lapses.
Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have found that walking through doors triggers a phenomenon in the brain known as an “event boundary,” separating one set of thoughts and memories from another, as if walking through a door signals the end of a scene in a movie. The brain archives the thoughts that were in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new space. Mental event boundaries usually help organize thoughts and memories as we move through a continuous and dynamic world, but when we're trying to remember what we came to do... or take... or maybe find... they can be really annoying.
No wonder they say that in such cases you need to return to the place where the thought came to mind.
2. Moon
Usually the Moon is a pleasant nighttime companion, but sometimes it can cause mental breakdowns. When the Moon is low in the sky, it appears larger than when it is overhead, although the actual size, of course, remains the same. This phenomenon is known as the moon-on-the-horizon illusion, or the Ponzo illusion.
The most likely reason for the moon illusion is that we are accustomed to seeing clouds overhead at a distance of only a few kilometers, but we know that the clouds above the horizon are hundreds of kilometers away. If the cloud on the horizon is the same size as the ones above, despite the vast distance, we think: "That cloud is very big." And although the Moon is the same size above the horizon as it is above our head, we also perceive it to be much larger.
3. Electronic signals
Which is worse: the squeal of a digital alarm clock, the horns of a truck driving backwards, or the shrill reminders that the batteries in a smoke detector are low? Let's face it, all these sounds are terrible. Electronic signals are practically musical accompaniment modern world, and they are extraordinarily annoying, as they cause small brain malfunctions.
We evolved without electronic sounds, so we work hard to capture them. Natural sounds are created by the transfer of energy, often by striking one object against another, like a stick striking a drum. In this case, the energy is transferred to the drum and is gradually dissipated, which causes the sound to decay. Our perceptual system has evolved to use this attenuation to understand the event, it enables us to figure out what made the sound and where it came from. Well, electronic signals are like a car that hits a wall at a speed of 100 km / h instead of slowing down. They do not change with time, do not fade away and therefore confuse the brain, not allowing to determine their nature and source.
4. Photos
We evolved not only without electronic signals, but also without photographs. Your grandmother may learn to use the Internet, but she will never develop the appropriate intuitive skills. We also consciously understand photographs, but our subconscious cannot really separate them from the depicted objects or people. For example, research shows that people are much less accurate at throwing darts at pictures of friends, children, or loved ones, but still hit Hitler or their worst enemy well. Another study showed that people become very anxious when they are asked to cut photos of the most anticipated acquisitions in childhood. Lacking millions of years of practice, our brains fail to separate image from reality.
5. Red-green
There is a color - red-green. It's as bright as red-blue (we call this color purple), but we don't have a word to describe it because we can't see it. Red-green gets into the blind spot of our brain.
This limitation is caused by how we perceive color. Cells in the retina called "opponent neurons" fire when exposed to red light, and this activity tells the brain that we're looking at something red. The same opponent neurons are inhibited in green light, and this lack of activity indicates to the brain that green color. While most colors cause a mixed effect on neurons that the brain can decode, red exactly cancels the effect of green, and therefore we can never perceive these colors mixed.
Well, almost never. Under special conditions in the laboratory, the eyes can be forced to perceive both red and green light at the same time. People who were lucky enough to participate in such a visual experiment talk about unforgettable impressions, as if they were seeing the color purple for the first time.
6. Wheels
Have you ever noticed how strange the wheels in movies look like they're spinning backwards? This is because television cameras capture static images of a scene at a certain frequency, and the brain fills in the gaps between those images, creating the illusion of continuous movement between identical frames. If the wheel is constantly spinning for several frames, the most obvious direction for the brain is the other way around, as it suggests the smallest difference between two frames.
However, in real life the wheels can appear to be spinning in the opposite direction, which is even weirder. The main theory behind this illusion is that the brain's motion perception system samples the input signal as a series of intermittent frames, much like a TV camera. So our brain is constantly making its own movie of the outside world, but not always at the speed necessary to know that the wheels are turning in the right direction.
7. Bright light
Bright light causes people to sneeze. Allergy to Sun rays? Doubtful. This is called the "light sneeze reflex" - a little-understood mental state when it enters from darkness into bright light.
In general, sneezing occurs involuntarily when an irritant enters the nose. However, this automatic reaction can also occur in the pupillary light reflex, when the pupils constrict in bright light. All reflexes require the transmission of a command through complex neural pathways in the brain. It is likely that mixed teams can produce unexpected results. Combine the sneeze and pupillary light reflexes and you can get responses to a single stimulus—bright light. Scientists cannot fully explain this phenomenon.
8. Vast open spaces
Moving through the desert, plain or dense forest, that is, territories without landmarks, people walk in circles. Experiments with blindfolded people demonstrate that, without external reference points, we move in a circle 20 meters in diameter, assuming that we are going straight. It turns out that the reason is not at all in the different length or strength of the legs. Vast open spaces literally loop the brain.
According to researchers from the German Institute for Biological Cybergenetics, moving in circles is the result of a change in the feeling of “straight ahead”. With each step, there is a small deviation in the vestibular (balance) apparatus or in the proprioceptive (body perception) system that adds to the cognitive sense of what is "straight." These deviations accumulate, causing even smaller circles to be walked over time. This little brain glitch isn't possible when we're constantly rewiring our sense of direction with the nearest building or mountain.
9. Shadows
Our perception of shadows is an example of how the brain tries to help, but in the end fails. By trying to determine the color of a surface, the brain knows that the shadows make it darker than it actually is. We make up for this difference by automatically making shadowed surfaces appear lighter than they actually appear to the eye. But since we have no control over this adjustment process, we are unable to determine how much darker the shadow actually makes the subject, and this can be a problem.
This brain glitch is explained in the above optical illusion created by Professor Edward Edelson. But on a checkerboard, tile A looks much darker than tile B. But as you can see in the verification image below, A and B are actually the same color. We perceive tile B - the white square of the board in shadow - lighter than tile A - the dark square, despite the fact that the shadow made square B as dark as A. Stupid brain!
10. Phones
Have you ever had the feeling that your phone vibrates in your pocket or bag, and you took it out and made sure that there was no call? If you, like most people, ever experience these "illusory vibrations", it turns out it's because your brain is jumping to the wrong conclusions in an attempt to make sense of the chaos of life.
The brain constantly receives input from the senses, it must filter out useless noise and select important signals. In ancient times, people constantly mistook curved sticks in sight for snakes. Today almost everyone uses electronic devices. Therefore, our brain misinterprets various noises, such as rustling clothes or grumbling in the stomach, instructing us to accept a call or message and causing the illusion of vibration of the phone.
from What? Where? When?

Nadia Suleiman holding her newborn children in her arms In 2009, Nadia Suleman became the first woman in the world to carry and give birth to eight twins. All of America was then shocked by her story. Although it really started, of course, not at the time of childbirth.

Nadia's doctor implanted 12 embryos into her uterus instead of 2-3 allowed for IVF. Eight out of twelve survived. For such criminal recklessness, the doctor was forever deprived of his professional license. But what about Nadia?

By this time, the woman was already divorced and raised ... six more children! What prompted her to go for IVF remains unknown. It is unlikely that the question of "a glass of water in old age" stood before her so sharply.




Nadia with all her children - older gears and younger octuplets. The newborn octuplets were named: Noah, Mali, Isaiah, Nariah, John, Makai, Josiah and Jeremiah.




Having 14 children in your arms, you involuntarily begin to spin like a bee. Nadia finally decided to finish her studies at school in order to be financially independent.




“I understand that everything depends only on me, so I don’t sit, staring at the TV, waiting for a miracle.” Several times she took part in talk shows, on the fees from which she fed her children. She even signed on to her own reality show (and some suspected the "unplanned" children were part of her far-sighted plan to become a TV star), but it never aired.




People discussing this story often deny Nadia prudence and look for hidden reasons for her unusual motherhood. But we must admit that all her children look healthy and happy, despite the peculiarities of life in such a large and at the same time incomplete family.




They recently celebrated their eighth birthday and had a lot of fun!




Now Nadia with fourteen children lives in small house with three bedrooms near Los Angeles.




Raising so many children is a heavy burden (it looks generally unbearable from the outside, to be honest). It is good that the younger children have already grown up and become more independent.







For example, imagine how long it took just changing diapers?

American Nadia Suleiman in January 2009 gave birth to eight children as a result of a medical experiment, becoming the second mother in the world who managed to give birth to "eights". How did this sensation end? Chronology of events.

A resident of the United States gave birth to eight children at once

According to Dr. Karen Maples, the children were born at the Kaiser Permanante Hospital in a town south of Los Angeles and are "doing well." Dr. Harold Henry told reporters that six girls and two boys were "screaming and kicking their legs very vigorously."

MOSCOW, January 27 - RIA Novosti. An American woman on Monday gave birth to eight children, becoming the second mother in the world who managed to give birth to "eights", reports the Associated Press, citing KCAL-TV.

According to Dr. Karen Maples (Karen Maples), the children were born in the hospital Kaiser Permanante in a town south of Los Angeles and "feeling fine."

Dr. Harold Henry told reporters that six girls and two boys were "screaming and kicking their legs very vigorously."

According to him, the weight of children ranges from 800 grams to one and a half kilograms.

The agency has yet to provide any other details.

Previously, eight children were born at once, also in the USA, in the city of Houston, in 1998; however, one child died a week later. The remaining sisters: Ibyuk, Gorom, Chidi, Chima and Eherem, as well as the brothers Ikem and Jiok, celebrated their first “round” anniversary in December 2008.

The mother of eight children will become a trademark

Nadia Suleman, who gave birth to eight babies at once, which became a medical and social sensation of the coming year in the United States, intends to register her status as a trademark.

NEW YORK, April 16 - RIA Novosti, Larisa Saenko. Unemployed and unmarried American Nadia Suleman, who gave birth to eight babies at once, which became a medical and social sensation of the coming year in the United States, intends to register her status as a trademark, People magazine reported.

The woman has already submitted documents for the registration of the trade brand "Vosmimama" (Octomama) to the authorities.

In total, the 33-year-old mother, who, according to the media, plastic surgery"under Angelina Jolie" 14 children, three of whom have disability benefits.

The newborns—two girls and six boys—were given biblical names, and all eight were given the name Angel as their middle name. All children were born using the method of medical implantation.

Nadia's atypical story, which looks like it could drag on for years, fuels commercial interest in the non-standard family. The Suleman website is open to financial transfers as well as business offers from publishers and producers. Nadia is ready to sell the right to publish her interviews, memoirs and the exclusive right to photograph her babies.

A well-known PR company has taken control of the business, which is beginning to take on the appearance of a business enterprise.

Mother of octuplets regrets their birth

A sensational statement in one of the interviews was made by the world-famous “octoma” Nadya Suliman.

The mother of octuplets admitted that the birth of twins was her mistake. She called their birth “a rash decision” and reproaches herself for ruining her life and the lives of her older children. The mother of many children also added that she is ashamed to regret the birth of octuples, since they already exist, but she has no idea what to do next.

Recall that in January 2009, single mother Nadia Suliman gave birth to eight twins, while having six more children aged 2 to 7 years. All of her 14 children were conceived through IVF.

When it became clear that the finances of a mother with many children leave much to be desired, the tenderness of American society after the miraculous appearance of octuplets was replaced by a wave of indignation. Why did a mother of six resort to IVF to carry eight more babies? Fellow citizens increasingly talked about the fact that she gave birth to children out of mercantile interest. These assumptions came true after Suliman announced that she had intentions to patent the Octomam trademark, and signed a contract with a well-known production company to film a three-year reality show with the participation of all her 14 children.

Mother of octuplets' doctor loses license

The California State Medical Board is hearing on the revocation of the medical license of fertility doctor Michael Kamrava.


As it became known, before the pregnancy of 33-year-old Nadia Suleman, the doctor transplanted twelve embryos into her, despite the fact that, according to the recommendations of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), women under 35 can transfer no more than two embryos. It has previously been claimed that Suleman received six embryos, two of which separated early in her pregnancy to form two sets of identical twins. Recall that Nadya Suleman in January 2009 became the mother of eight children at once.

In the event that a woman insists on too frequent or multiple IVF, ASRM recommends that she be sent for a psychiatric evaluation, which was not done in this case.

Earlier, according to the expert of the medical council Victor Fujimoto, Michael Kamrava repeatedly allowed excessive deviations from existing IVF standards, assisting Suleman and two other patients, and in October 2009 he was expelled from the ASRM for repeated violation of the Society's standards, although he then had the right to engage in transplantology left.

American woman who gave birth to "eights" took the risk consciously, said the doctor

Dr. Michael Kamrava said his patient Nadia Suliman, who gave birth to eight children, was a volunteer participant in a medical experiment, the Associated Press reported on Thursday.

Kamrava implanted 33-year-old Suliman with six embryos, two of which later separated, resulting in the birth of eight children.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine, which categorically does not recommend implanting more than two embryos in women under 35, regarded the doctor's act as a gross violation of union standards.

After that, Kamrava was expelled from the professional community, which, however, did not prevent him from continuing his medical practice.

In his statement, Michael Kamrava claims that Nadya Suliman took the risk knowingly, having given her written consent.

According to the agency, the fact of Suliman's participation in the experiment was revealed earlier during the investigation conducted by the Office of Quality Control. food products and Medicines under the US Department of Health. The doctor's words came in response to accusations that he, without the knowledge of his patient Suliman, made a "guinea pig" out of her.

The euphoria that arose in American society immediately after the miraculous birth of the "eights" was gradually replaced by an increasingly critical attitude towards their mother. Many Americans did not understand why Suliman, who already had six babies, resorted to in vitro fertilization to endure eight.

In this regard, many have the inevitable suspicion that a woman has acquired so many children in mercantile interests.

Mother of 14 children faces jail

American Nadia Suleiman is preparing for trial on suspicion of withholding income and illegally receiving social benefits.

Known worldwide as the mother of eight twins, Nadia Suleiman is under investigation. She is charged with withholding income from numerous television filming in films and talk shows. According to the accusatory side, the California prosecutor's office, in addition to the fact that the “octoma” did not declare the earned 30 thousand dollars, she illegally received social benefits from the state.

Recall that the suspect is the mother of 14 children - before the birth of eight twins, she alone had already raised six children. Given her large number of children, law enforcement agencies decided not to detain Suleiman. However, if her guilt is proven, the “octomame” faces up to 6 years in prison.

By the way, the mother of eight twins admitted that she regrets their birth. The clinic where Nadya had undergone the IVF procedure at one time was fined, and the doctor who performed in vitro fertilization was deprived of her license.

Dr. Michael Kamrava said that his patient Nadia Suliman, who gave birth to eight children, was a voluntary participant in a medical experiment.
