#13 Remember the woman who gave birth to 8 babies at once?
Yup, you read that right. Imagine giving birth to 8 babies at once! I don't think giving birth to one baby at a time is any easier. Eight would mean so much risk! For both the mother and the babies.
But this woman did give birth to 8 babies. And every one of the babies survived. The mother too.
Most octuplets don't survive long after birth. But this time all of them did!
#12 Nadya Suleman became a celebrity!
The birth of the octuplets catapulted the mother straight into the spotlight! Everyone was talking about the Octomom and said it was a miracle of sorts indeed.
The babies were conceived through vitro fertilization.
Octomom became one of the most hottest topics in 2009!
#11 She's actually a mother of 14!
That's right! Nadya had 6 kids even before the octuplets were born.
#10 How in the world is she raising 14 kids all by herself?
Now this might come as a surprise to most, Nadya also has no job.
How indeed is she raising her children?!
#9 She was getting help from the government.
....Even before she had the octuplets. That's right, Nadya was getting paid disability payments by the government for a back injury. And it was using these payments that she managed to save $165,000 to pay for the IVF treatments!
#8 Not the best situation to have more kids at all...
So when people found out obviously they were furious!How in the world was this unemployed woman going to raise 14 kids without a proper job?
But in fact, she happened to earn quite a bit from her TV appearances and for appearing on the cover of tabloid magazines.
But she got herself in trouble with the law later...
#7 How did that happen?
Nadya filed for bankruptcy and sought help from the government to raise her children. But that was not the issue. The problem arose when she refused to disclose how much she earned while working two jobs....Because of which an investigation was launched.
#6 What did they find?
The investigation revealed that Nadya had no way but had to forcibly work as a stripper and also an adult film actress. It was said she earned over $30,000.
#5 She was ruled guilty!
Her punishment was probation AND 200 hours of community service.
#4 That didn't stop Nadya from making TV show appearances!
She even took up boxing and participated in the show "Celebrity Boxing." She was good at it too! And won a few matches. But was eventually kicked out of the show.
#3 And now Nadya is seeking help from the public online!
Nadya has set up a GoFundMe page seeking the public's support to raise her children. She has earned $3,579 already through donations!
#2 Many weren't pleased with her...
Because Nadya received a lot of death threats in person and online. Forcing Nadya to take a break. She ended up at a rehab center in LA for a month to deal with stress, anxiety and lack of sleep
