Despite the fact that they aren't willing to share the info, I think it is extremely obvious that she took fertility meds. These things just DO NOT happen without them.

I thought babies are good for the economy. all that clothes, pampers. formula, furniture and equipment. and the mother needs a whole new wardrobe afterward because NOTHING fits....

I find my eight a handful, and I had them one by one (well, apart from my twins!)

The doctors originally thought she was 'only' having seven. The eighth was a surprise.

I wonder if she has any other kids.

I know of a woman who had a single baby, then triplets, and then quintuplates, she is a frum woman and this was completley natural, no fertility meds involved.

Just what I was thinking! There is no way I an imagine this possible, even if she feeds two at a time and does nothing else, I still don't think it's possible.

maybe she is planning to breastfeed them partly? I also wouldn't have thought there are enough hours in the day.

If she nurses every three hours, two babies at a time, then each one gets 2 feedings a day. If she could keep that up, good for her!

But many people have several teenagers at once (such as 18, 17, 15, 14, 12), but they would not have had so many toddlers.
