No IVF for the woman above from Czechoslovakia. On Sunday she is set to have a C section to deliver her naturally conceived quintuplets. Back in March she was told she was having twins. Then in April, doctors discovered two more babies, bringing the total to four. Then, just last month, doctors found one more baby, bringing the total to five. That is a whole lot of kids to have at once. The woman, who is 23 already has one son. She plans on trying to breastfeed all five of the babies. A few more kids and she can star in a TLC show.
The good news being that she would literally have to put one down the garbage disposal accidentally to NOT be considered a better mother than the one we (the USA) spawned.
ReplyDeleteHoly moly, 23 with 6 kids! God bless her.
ReplyDeleteCzechoslovakia doesn't exist since 1994. She is from Czech republic.
ReplyDeleteRant over.
@Unknown. I was thinking the same thing!
DeleteMe too! Seeing that on the headline bothered me....more than the frightening pic! Haha

DeleteWhen they're born she better set up some sort of perimeter alarm to keep Angelina and Madge away.
ReplyDeleteAdditional rant:
ReplyDeleteCzechoslovakia hasn't existed since 1993, not 1994, when it split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
It's called the Czech Republic
ReplyDeleteDe-lurking to share my favorite family story: Quintuplets were born into my dad's family in the 1800s. They died soon after birth, and family legend says that they were "handled to death" because of all the people who came to see them. They are now kept in a jar at the Smithsonian.
ReplyDeleteThe babies in jars freaked me out when I was little and we visited the Smithsonian
DeleteNo hubby in the pic? How many baby daddies are we talking here? Is there a reality show in the future? Should the Octomom be worried?
ReplyDeleteThe Czech republic is such a beautiful country. I look forward to going back. The only thing that bothered was the smell in the air during lunch time.
ReplyDeletemooshki that is interesting, creepy and sad all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteLord I wish her luck! I could not handle so many babies for a sustained period of time!
ReplyDeleteAt last I have found someone with a gut bigger than mine who doesn't live in the USA or is a sumo fighter.
ReplyDelete@ Mooshki - very interesting story in your family, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing I found out this morning. A man that has attended our church for over 30 yrs is the great-great grandson of Simon Fraser of the Simon Fraser Institute ..
Are you in BC? I live in the Fraser Valley. Just new to Canada. Lotsa history to learn.
DeleteDo you guys actually believe that BS story by Mooshki? or are you playing along. . . .
ReplyDeleteShe's having 5 kids, and her face hasn't swollen up like Kim K's.
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe Mooshki. I don't see any reason to doubt her story. I also don't see any reason for someone to get antagonistic toward her for telling it.
ReplyDeleteI love you Mooshki. That's amazing.
ReplyDeleteoh dear. I found ONE at a time a lot to handle. At least she's had some practice...imagine having quintuplets the first time round!
ReplyDeleteOh, man, does anyone remember the Dionne quintuplets? Fascinating story. They were the first quints (known) to survive infancy, and the Ontario government took them away from their family. They became a national attraction, people would come and watch them play a couple of times a day.
ReplyDeleteWhat threw me was that mom had six children before the quints, and three children after. Fourteen children. She had the quints when she was 25 - 11 children at age 25. I can't even imagine.
That looks damned uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteGood for her for breastfeeding! I can't imagine her being able to pull that off, but good for her! I BF both my babies and even with one baby at a time, they are eating all the time! Hopefully she can get some donor milk and give those babies everything they deserve!

ReplyDelete@Cdanluva, she's telling the truth. It's in the National Museum of Health and Medicine at the Smithsonian. I could've done without the image of dead babies in jars.
ReplyDeleteGet a new DR. if you can lady, your Dr. isn't doing a very good job if he/she finds a new baby every couple of months.
ReplyDeleteOr, were the babies playing hide and seek?
Good LORD! Thank heavens for modern medicine.
ReplyDeleteTHiS is what every teenager should see!! The horror!!!!! I can't imagine six babies, or worse yet six two year olds.
ReplyDelete15 years ago my coworker Janet married a Simon Fraser, who was the grandson or great grandson of the Simon Fraser. I remember they went to the Indy in Montreal to elope.
ReplyDeleteOh and Kim K: this is what pregnant looks like.
cdanluva - shut the fuck up. Who cares if we believe it or not?
ReplyDeleteMooshki, any info on the mother of the quints? So many women died during child birth back then with just one baby. I can't imagine the poor woman after giving birth to five babies. Chances are they were probably very tiny and would have needed modern day incubators and a germ free environment to survive.
ReplyDeleteLute- they were a poor french couple that lived in rural. Noticing the worldwude interest in the 5 babies, the goverment took them from oarents and raised them in a special made "scientific" house, where they were attended to by series of nurses. Everyday, they had hours that they were on display, like animals in the zoo.this is how their own parents got to see them! They became HUGE moneymaker fior canadian govt, whi in addition to charging to see them, made milllions off merchandise- dolls, cups, all the usual crap. The girls were VERY unhappy and as adults lodged lawsuit against canadian govt, who lost and had to make restatition to the 5 of them. Their parents were always told girls better off where they were, and parents never got a dime of money. Thats what i know; plenty more online. Very sad story.
DeleteFirst time commenter. I have triplets (IVF, but naturally adorable) and it is an incredible, exhausting journey. I was able to pump and give breast milk to them until their first birthday. In my heyday, I could pump 100 ounces a day. Don't know how my body did it, but it did.
ReplyDeleteWelcome 123That'sMe and congratulations. I give credit to anyone raising multiple births. One baby at a time is difficult enough.
ReplyDeleteI second lute.
Deleteauntliddy, are you talking about the Dionne quintuplets? They are a very sad story. They are the first set of quintuplets known to survive infancy. I was curious about Mooshki's family legend.
ReplyDeleteTwo of the Dionne quintuplets are actually still alive. The mother actually gave birth to 9 OTHER children. Unbelievable!
Yes lute, i was. Guess i misunderstood- sorry. But dionne's a fascinating story, poor girls. They did/do have beautiful names.
Deletelutefleck what the fuck is wrong with you, curious about a posters family legend, talk about that shit over tea, ok, thx. this format is for the news and famous people not ur personal chitty chat. dum ass!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to her! I wish her nothing but health and happiness...gee, I thought TWINS was hard!
