Californinian woman delivers eight children,would you want this many?

8 children at once? i'd be worried and frustrated at first since there's so many to give birth too. another reason why i'd be feeling that is because i don't have the money to fund 8 children, let alone time. id rather have twins and that's a miracle already. 8 is just too much for me. thinking about it is raising my blood pressure!

I do think it would be overwhelming. If i had a husband who held a good paying job to support them and family and friends to help i wouldn't feel so overwhelmed. I think it would be a great joy.

I wouldn't mind having that many children, just not all at once! That is going to be so hard for that family. I hope that they have the support of a great family and a large circle of great friends. I wouldn't say it's a sad situation because apparently they wanted to start a family and they did.

If that happens, there is nothing I can do but accept it, lol. But I would definitely be worried how am I going to take care all of them, and won't feel that good compared to when I deliver just one or two. I think it is some kind of abnormal to have 8 fetus on the womb for humans. or 'rare case' might be the appropriate word.

Besides, that certainly means expensive, esp on this time of financial difficulty.
we all know that rearing a baby is not easy, and if they are 8, they need more keen attention on their health. They are more prone to sickness, complications than children with normal births.

i wouldn't have minded having 8 children but not all at once. i don't know how u would lookk after 8babies. you'd have to have alot of help, i believe.

I am pregnant at the moment and to be honest 1 or 8 does not make a difference just because I am having 1 its not easy I am always sick and tired and emotional. So why not give me 7 more its all the same to me. As for after they are born well I know I am hardly going to sleep in the next 2 years or so so againg why just 1 since I am going to be sleep deprived anyway. But in reality it must be hard and lucky it does not happen often nature knows what its doing. I see my friend that has 3 kids 9,8 and 5 and that is hard having 8 same age would drive you crazy. Just imagine a b'day party with 8 kids that are 5 years old.

Hi ronnyb! That is amazing but I don't think I would want to have 8 babies all on one time. I don't think my body is up for that! lol..How on earth can I nurse and take care of 8 babies all day and all night. I think I can still have 2 or 3 babies all on one time but more than 3 babies, absolutely not! It can be very merry when all 8 babies are grown up but I am sure it will be very distressing while they are still babies and while growing up!
Take care and have a great day!
lovelots..faith

I would be going absolutely nuts if I had eight children, either at one time or individually. There is no way possible I could support that many, especially the way things are now. I can't imagine all of the sleepless days and nights that lie ahead for this new mother. I hope she has lots of people willing to pitch in. In the beginning it may be easy to find help but as the kids get into their toddler years and the beginning years of school people will tend to forget about her and that may be when she really needs help. I can't imagine getting eight kids up and ready for school and out the door to meet the bus. Wow, I hope this lady has lots of patience and lots of coffee.
