Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!

I'm not one to judge others without knowing them/all the facts, but this one burned me!!! I watched the announcements of the Octuplets being born, and thought; well it must have happened due to follicle stimulation because no Dr. would do invitro with 8 or more embryos. Yesterday I watched as the experts gave their opinions with the same conclusion I came to. There was no way any of them would have done invitro with that many eggs and they would turn someone away who wanted that, so they also felt it must have been egg stimulation that caused this.

Now this morning I learn that the mother, who is currently living at home with her mother, already has six children (we know nothing about the father)!!!! And here's the kicker...it WAS invitro!!!! Holy Cow!!! I get that there are crazy people out there, so I'm writing the mom off as nuts, but what the heck happened to regulating and having rules about ethics for this for the Drs.??!! What's next...cloning? Know that I have family members and friends that have been helped by fertility specialists, so I know the benefit in using one, but this guy crossed the line. Just MO.

Fake nails can cause all kinds of problems. They do harbor a lot of bacteria. They can cause fungal infections. Bacteria love to grow in them. They are really nasty. They are bad for adults, but even worse for little premature babies. She needs to get rid of them. I wouldn't recommend anyone to wear them, let alone someone with as many kids as she has. We are not allowed to wear them at work or during clinical in nursing school. Most hospitals and doctor's offices don't allow the staff to wear them at all.

I work for one of the busiest pediatric hospitals in the country and fake nails are strictly banned in for staff who provide direct patient care. This was the result of a nasty infection outbreak in another hospital's newborn ICU caused by someone's artificial nails. It's way too big of a risk for octomom to keep her nails.

Additionally, preemie's skin is very delicate and thin and tears easily. Those nails will make it difficult for her to even bathe or change their diapers. I think octomom should remove her fake nails and use the money to buy diapers for her kids!:tt2:

I do not see how she will be able to take care of those babies with long nails. This is another indicator that she is not thinking and needs mental help! I used to have long nails, but I worked in a nursing home and once scratched a patient. I cut them off that night and have never had them long again.

U think you need some therapy to bring that out a little more !!

:tt2::lol::thumbup:

Oooh, I would SO wear that shirt! I love shirts with stuff like that.

I have one that says, "I have gone to find myself. If I return before I come back, keep me here."

I love shirts like that. I saw a guy at work wearing one which said: Does Not Play Well with Others. I asked about him and the other guys said that it was true. LOL

My favorite that I have says "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I am Schizophrenic, And So Am I!"

People look at it like it makes no sense at all....makes me laugh anyway!!

I have 2 nephews who are half Navajo Indian, they bought me a shirt (which is now too big sadly...kinda...) that said "My Indian name is RUNS WITH SCISSORS"

Gotta love kids.....

I love all these t-shirt slogans. Thanks for posting these, Kat and the others who posted. You have cheered me up on this wintry Sunday; winter has been going on for far too long this year. Ugh! It ain't easy being a Canuck Green.

haha, I am very in touch with my inner feelings, aren't I?

You are even more in touch with your inner anchorman....and for that, ma'am, I salute you.

Okay, this story get stranger and stranger. Did you see this news story about the possible octo-daddy???

This guy looks like he is African American or Porta Rican.

ABC News: Possible Octuplet Dad Gave Sperm Because He Was in Love With Suleman

You have to wonder what is in it for him to come out claiming to be the father.
