In 2009, something amazing happened in California. A woman named Nadya became famous worldwide because she gave birth to eight babies at the same time. People started calling her Octomama. She had six boys and two girls, and they are now 14 years old and doing well.
Nadya always wanted to have kids, but it didn’t happen when she was married. She suggested trying in vitro fertilization (IVF) to her husband, but he said no. So, Nadya decided to break up with her husband.
The eight babies were not Nadya’s first children. Before them, she already had six kids. When she went through IVF, the doctor implanted 12 embryos at once, and she got pregnant with a record number of kids.
At 31 weeks of pregnancy, Nadya had a cesarean section. It was a challenging delivery, and many doctors and nurses were there to help. Giving birth to so many children at the same time is not easy.
Despite the difficulties, Nadya, the brave mom, managed everything. Her 14 kids recently turned 14 and had a good time together. In pictures, it’s hard to find Nadya because she gets lost among her kids. In this touching and beautiful story, what stands out is that the mom is raising all 14 kids. Even though she didn’t plan to have so many, she is grateful for each one.
