Surprise!
As if having 7 babies at once wasn’t enough but SURPRISE you actually have 8 babies in there! LOL! A woman in Bellflower CA delivered not 7 babies that they originally thought but 8. She went the whole pregnancy thinking she was going to be a mom of septuplets and on delivery day they found one more.
Really though, if you are already having 7 at one pop, what is one more. 
The smallest weighing in at 1lb 8oz to the biggest at 3.4 lbs. Thankfully all of them are doing really well, breathing on their own. Read the story here.
I would love to have multiples. I know there are a lot more health risks with having more than one baby at one time. I guess for me though, since I had 2 c-sections already, I am being told I should only have 1 more. We wanted 5 total children, that would mean I should have 2 more but most doctors say they won’t deliver more than 3 c-sections.
Not to mention I think multiples are adorable, like the children on Jon and Kate plus 8. I love that show.
Anyways, I hope those octuplets grow strong and healthy and can leave the hospital without too long of a stay.

Isn’t that insane? I hope they survive too, but can you imagine the diapers? bottles? the messes? I love Jon and Kat plus 8 but can’t imagine 8 at once..

I saw that story too…I can’t even imagine 8 babies all at once!!! I heard that they have been given a lifetime supply of diapers!
My pregnancies are high risk and I’ve had 3 c-sections…my doctors told me the don’t like to do more than 4. I think it all depends on the doc.
