Baby, Fertility Drugs | featured news

The public relations group that has represented octuplets mother Nadya Suleman is stepping down because of death threats, its president said Saturday.

The mother of newborn octuplets says she had six embryos implanted in her fertility procedure - far more than industry guidelines recommend - and was well aware that multiple births could result.

The mother of six who gave birth to octuplets in California this week just wanted 'one more girl' and was obsessed with having children, her mother said.

The woman who gave birth to octuplets earlier this week already has six young children and never expected that the fertility treatment she received would result in eight babies, her mother said in an interview with The Times.

Even as the birth of octuplets at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center drew attention and applause from around the country, questions arose Tuesday about whether the mother's doctors did enough to prevent such a risky pregnancy.
