    Octuplets stun doctors at California hospital

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A California woman shocked doctors by giving birth on Monday to octuplets, believed to be only the second set of eight babies born in the United States.

    The six boys and two girls were doing well and were in stable condition in the neonatal intensive care unit, said Dr. Karen Maples at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in the Los Angeles suburb of Bellflower.


    But two needed some help to breath with ventilators, she told a press conference.

    The eight babies were born nine weeks prematurely by Caesarean section over a five-minute period, stunning a 46-member medical team that was expecting only seven babies.

    They weighed between 1 pound 8 ounces (680 grams) and 3 pounds 4 ounces (1.47 kg) and doctors initially identified them by the letters A through H as they were born.

    "We decided to proceed with the delivery in anticipation of seven babies. We had done some drills, some preliminary dry runs," Maples said.

    "Lo and behold, after we got to Baby G, which is what we expected, we were surprised by Baby H."


    Maples said she had been following the mother, who was not identified, since the first trimester of her pregnancy.

    Citing patient confidentiality rules, the hospital declined to say whether the mother had become pregnant through fertility treatments, which can raise the likelihood of multiple births.

    "It was a shock, especially with the eighth baby," Maples said.

    The mother plans to breast feed all eight babies, her doctors said.

    The last octuplets known to have survived in the United States were born in Houston in 1998, in that case six girls and two boys. One of the babies, a girl, died one week after birth.

      I don't know if there is any room for any new large family based reality shows. Two such examples:

      John and Kate Plus 8
      18 kids and counting. Recntly had 18th kid.

      Don't know why. I actually like John and Kath Plus 8. Not one of those fake reality shows I guess.

            Growing up on the farm in the 50's and 60's we had several very large families in our area.

            One had 18 kids, including 3 sets of twins, but the largest had 21 kids with no multiple births.

            One couple I went to school with had 12 kids by our 10 year high school reunion and she was pregnant with twins at the time. They were also a Mutt & Jeff couple, him being 6' 9" and her being 5' 1".

            To dance without it looking like a porno shoot he'd have to pick her up 'til they were cheek to cheek and do all the footwork himself.

              This is irresponsibility at its best. Note that doctors were "expecting" SEVEN kids...

              Seriously, people who do this should be ineligible for any government aid forever.

                      Depends if they can support their kids. I personally disagree with playing the odds to get just one more kid by implanting several embryos. If the parents can support the kids though . . . .

                          If they live with the grandparents in a 2-bedroom house, and had to lie to doctors about already having 6 kids... they can't afford it.

                              Again, Gurm, you speak out of your ass...

                              Gurm, this makes twice you've crapped on my family or my friends...

                              The Duggars are an offense to humanity. Their "Quiverfull" movement is - quite literally - a haven of child abuse, sexual abuse, and horror.
                              Let's be clear here: You will not insult my family or close friends ever again, Comprende'?

                              The Duggars, who live less than 15 miles from my home, and whom I have known for more than 15 years are not child abusers, they are not sexually abusing anyone, and there is nothing horrific about them (other than their bank account, after getting their program to national TV).

                              You have commited libel, and may well get a note from an attorney who I guarantee will be better funded than any defense attorney you can muster.
