• While doctors at a California hospital haven’t said whether a woman who gave birth Monday to octuplets received fertility treatments in order to conceive the babies, infertility specialists told the Los Angeles Times that they question whether enough was done to prevent such a risky pregnancy. Chances are very small that the babies were conceived naturally, experts said, and reproductive-medicine specialists have the expertise to avoid high-risk pregnancies such as this one. The octuplets—two girls and six boys—were born via cesarean section about 9½ weeks early at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center in Bellflower, Calif. The babies weighed between 1 pound, 8 ounces and 3 pounds, 4 ounces, according to the Times . The parents of the babies have not been identified. The octuplets are in stable condition, the hospital reports, and two babies who initially had needed help breathing were well enough to have breathing tubes removed yesterday.
• I read this story yesterday.  I feel for this woman. It is hard enough  to have one child.  Eight babies crying all at the same time. Yikes!  I hope they have enough money to  feed all of these children.  It will take the whole village.
