Calif. Woman Gives Birth To Octuplets
Birth Marks Only Second Instance Of Live-Born Octuplets

Posted: Monday, January 26, 2009

Bellflower, Calif. -- A woman has given birth to eight babies in a hospital south of Los Angeles, the world's second live-born set of octuplets.

Dr. Karen Maples told KCAL-TV that the babies were born Monday at Kaiser Permanante and were "doing quite well."

The hospital said the mother, who asked not to be identified, gave birth to six boys and two girls weighing between 1.8 pounds and 3.4 pounds.

Dr. Harold Henry told KCAL that "they were all screaming and kicking around very vigorously."

The last set of live-born octuplets were born in Texas and turned 10 last month.

What a miracle, and those are good weights for so many babies. I hope they all survive.

geez, do families get any kind of financial support through the government or something for situations like this?

sunshinefizzy · 01-28-2009, 07:43 AM

That's good news that the baby girl is still alive and doing well. God bless them all.

This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Apu and Manjula have Octuplets.

That was the set of octuplets born 10 years ago. The other 7 are alive and doing very well.

I have mixed feelings about this. I'm happy for the family and wish them all the best and I pray none of them develop any problems, but I do strongly feel that humans aren't meant to have litters.
