A couple in Southern California will certianly have their hands full after the wife gave birth to octuplets- yes you read that right, 8 babies at one time.
The doctors actually thought there was only secen. but one was hiding- what a shock the doctor had when he felt another foot after delivering the seventh baby.
It has not yet been relased if the babies were concieved through the help of fertility drugs, if I had to put my money on it I would bet so, considering that the human body does not naturally release eight eggs.
This is the only the second set of surviving octuplets born in the United States, so these babies made history on Monday.
While it is exciting to welcome eight babies into the world, it does not come without risk. Having high order multiples is extremely risky for babies and for mother. This is why it is so important to make sure that you are closely monitored when taking fertility drugs, becasue they are very powerful! Seek out and consult with a reproductive endocrinologist before starting fertility treatments.
But in the mean time heres to eight healthy and happy babies and good luck mom and dad!
