Octoplets Born in Southern California
Woman Gives Birth to Octuplets in SoCal Hospital
BELLFLOWER, Calif. – A woman gave birth Monday to eight babies, only the second time in history octuplets have survived more than a few hours, doctors said.
The mother gave birth to six boys and two girls weighing between 1 pound, 8 ounces, and 3 pounds, 4 ounces, doctors at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center said. The hospital had scheduled a Caesarean section for seven babies, but doctors were surprised when an eighth came out at 10:48 a.m.
"My eyes were wide," Dr. Karen Maples said, explaining her reaction to the last birth.
Doctors said the babies were born nine weeks premature but are in stable condition. Two newborns were placed on ventilators and a third needs oxygen.
Hospital officials would not release any information about the mother, including her name, condition or whether she used fertility drugs. They did, however, say she planned to breast feed all of them.
"She's a very strong woman, so she probably will be able to handle all eight babies," said Dr. Mandhir Gupta, a neo-natologist who cared for the infants.
The mother checked into the hospital in her 23rd week of pregnancy and gave birth seven weeks later. All eight babies will probably remain in the hospital for at least two months and the mother should be released in a week, Maples said.
The world's first live octuplets were born in March 1967 in Mexico City, but all the babies died within 14 hours, according to Encyclopedia Britanica.
The United States' first live octuplets were born in Houston in December 1998. They were three months premature and their weights at birth ranged from 11 ounces to 1 pound, 11 ounces. The tiniest infant died of heart and lung failure a week after being born. The surviving siblings — girls Ebuka, Gorom, Chidi, Chima and Echerem, and their brothers Ikem and Jioke — turned 10 in December.
Their mother and father, Nkem Chukwu and Iyke Louis Udobi, said they are astonished and grateful their children have grown up to be healthy and active. Chukwu is even happier to hear another mother successfully accomplished the same feat.
"It's a blessing, truly a blessing," Chukwu told The Associated Press. "We'll keep praying for them."
Forty-six hospital staff and four delivery rooms were used for the latest octuplets' births. After one baby was born, staff rushed the newborn into another room and waited for the next, the hospital said. But despite weeks of preparation, doctors did not expect the eighth child.
"It is quite easy to miss a baby when you're anticipating seven babies," said Dr. Harold Henry, chief of maternal and fetal medicine at the hospital. "Ultrasound doesn't show you everything."
Doctors said they repeatedly conducted practice sessions on the deliveries and were well prepared. Gupta said the woman was given spinal anesthesia and could hear the babies as they came out.
"When the first baby came out, he was crying and kicking," Gupta said. "That eased the tension in the operating room because the first one came out healthy."
Dr. Richard Paulson, director of the fertility program at the University of Southern California, said octuplets born premature could face serious health risks, including breathing problems and neurological damage. The mother also has an increased risk of hemorrhage, Paulson said.
"It's a risky decision to try to have all eight babies," said Paulson, who had no role in the delivery. "I would not recommend it under any circumstances, but I respect a parent's decision."
For people who use fertility drugs, the vast majority of births — 80 percent — are single babies. Among multiple births, the most common are twins, Paulson said.
Paulson said the latest births likely resulted from the use of fertility drugs and not in vitro fertilization.
"When you hear about someone having octuplets, it's almost always the case that they took fertility medications and not IVF," he said.
It's easier to control the number of births through in vitro fertilization, which involves combining egg and sperm in a lab dish and transferring the embryo into the uterus. Fertility drugs induce or enhance ovulation and couples often opt for selective reduction, in which women carrying multiple fetuses reduce the number of viable fetuses to two.
The Bellflower medical center is about 17 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

Kate, Loving Wife and Mother
See for yourself!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT3LX1h-DNs
Just a reminder, I am not going to publish your comment if you include, get a life, you are jealous, they have 8 kids....etc...oh, and absolutely no profanity.
Do you fans have anything else to offer as justification for child exploitation?

All You Wanted to Know
Well, are you satisfied with last nights show? Were all your burning questions answered? Are you finally relieved to know who the cameramen's favorite tups are?
The commercials were such a tease "think you know everything about the Gosselins?' It makes us want to tune in and find out what they have to say, who wants to tune in to another dentist visit, extravagant trip or witness their special treatment at an amusement park? The show lost its charm long ago and they are grasping at straws. They've worn out their welcome to 50% of their initial viewers but they still have quite a following as evidenced by the numerous nasty comments left on this blog from their so called devout fans. What amazes me are the hundreds upon hundreds of fans that still buy into them! Standing in line for hours to catch a glimpse of Kate or for her to sign a copy of Beth's book for them. I doubt the remaining fans will stick around long after Kate's bitchy entitled attitude drives them to the internet to find out the truth about this family.
As the episodes begin showing the long driveway, the huge pool, the square footage, the huge acreage along with all the other trips and freebies the Gosselins will not turn down, will the fans come to realize that they aren't the same Gosselins that we saw clipping coupons and trying to earn a decent living on their owns and not on the backs of their children.
How can anyone think that it is normal for this family to raise their children in front of the world exposing their private moments and taking away their childhood. Their childhood belongs to the public now, its on youtube, on people's dvr's, pasted in books with prayers.....when is it going to stop?
I ask this question. When are the fans going to say enough? Please help me to understand why you think it is ok to raise children on television as Paul Peterson has said "parenting is not a spectator sport".
List reasons why you think the show should continue and how it is benefiting the children. Remember, they would not be in a welfare line if not for the show, they would be living an average middle class American life so don't tell me the show has saved this family from living in shelters and standing in food lines!!!

Kate, The Worst Spokesperson - Ever!!!

It's official: Kate Gosselin is the worst spokesperson of all time
After a month, the opinion piece "Kate Gosselin, Most Polarizing Spokesperson Ever?" has finally fallen out of the top-10 most-read stories on Brandweek.com. After 490 comments, the opinion box attached to the article may have just blown up. Or maybe people ran out of venom. What is painfully obvious is that when a company like Procter & Gamble attaches itself to the reality star of Jon & Kate Plus 8, they are inviting a world of criticism.
Like this: "Add me to the list of people who have contacted P&G to express my disapproval of Kate Gosselin as a spokesperson many months ago. So not only is P&G making stupendously stupid hiring decisions, they are lying about the backlash too. Just another reason not to buy their products." And that was one of the nicer comments. (Many people seem to think Gosselin exploits her children by allowing their lives to be filmed.)
Another viewer piled on when she said, "She might not be the worst spokesperson ever, but she sure has the worst haircut ever." Ouch.

Sponsorship, in poor taste?
I was watching an Entertainment show and they were discussing the swag backstage this year at the Critics Choice awards. It was mentioned that this year, the bags were really "lean" compared to years past. Companies can't donate what they used to because of the economy. I think this is going to be a huge effect on Jon and Kate. The move to North Carolina fell through because the sponsors fell through and I think more and more sponsors are going to be unwilling to sponsor as they have in the past.
While families are losing their jobs and fighting to keep food on the table, I seriously doubt anyone is going to be sponsoring any 5 star vacations for this family in the near future. It would be in very poor taste.
