Octuplets, Nadya Suleman | featured news

The Medical Board of California is investigating whether there were any violations by a fertility doctor who helped a woman become pregnant with the octuplets born last month.

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 Southern California woman who gave birth to octuplets last week left the hospital before dawn Thursday and announced through her publicist that she will be giving her first interview to NBC's 'Today' show anchor Ann Curry.

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.
