vaginas are not clown cars

And Emeril.

Looking at the age of the kids: this woman had children in a much too rapid succession. But I guess it turned out okay: all her kids survived. I do wonder how she coped/copes (phsyically AND mentally). I'm going mad with the youngest not sleeping through the night at the age of six months (now). What would it be when I have that amount of kids? I guess you kind of go with the flow (har har flow of babies).

(Story continues below)

Until she's in menopause?

The older kids just start taking on parent tasks, is hwo I've always seen it in 10+ kid families.

Save some $$$ on hand-me downs.

Oh god, I know how it goes (seen it with my aunt who had five kids, adopted one and then cared for a whole slew of kids) but I'm not that crazy (or selfless).

and Michelle has been pregnant for 126 months — or 10.5 years — of her life

this is o_0 retarded and all, but that only works out to 7.4 months per pregnancy!

shit is loose baby. It's hard to keep... a baby... in it.

i think that was calculated when she had had less than 100 children

that was at 17! (126/17) how many do they have now? i mean obv this was what a year ago so it couldnt be any more than 18 i suppose

she had #18 in december i think?

that this thred and the toni collete thred are both being revived tonight says something powerful, I think.

god bless her husband for keeping at it. her clown car's gotta be like the fucking holland tunnel at this point

it's not a cunt; it's not a tunnel; it's a chunnel

that was funnier when i heard it in my head

this is o_0 retarded and all, but that only works out to 7.4 months per pregnancy!

Some of those pregnancies were twins too.

it's not a pussy; it's not a four-door; it's a passage into Mordor.

"It is quite easy to miss a baby when you're anticipating seven"

California octuplets' mom already has 6 kids: report

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The California woman who astonished doctors earlier this week by giving birth to octuplets at a suburban Los Angeles hospital already has six other children, CBS News reported on Thursday.

The woman delivered six boys and two girls prematurely by Caesarean section on Monday, surprising doctors who had seen only seven babies in ultrasound images.

Officials at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in the Los Angeles suburb of Bellflower have declined to identify the mother or reveal if she received fertility treatments, which can increase the likelihood of multiple births.

There are no known cases of naturally conceived octuplets.

A Kaiser Permanente spokeswoman declined to comment on the CBS report but said that all eight babies were still in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit and doing well.

Five of the babies were feeding and six were breathing on their own, hospital spokeswoman Nancy Tovar-Huxen said. She said doctors had not yet determined when they could go home.

In reporting on "The Early Show" that the mother already has six other children, a CBS reporter who visited the woman's Los Angeles-area home cited two unnamed acquaintances.

One of those acquaintances said that the mother lived with her parents and that two of her other children were twins.

The birth of the octuplets already has raised eyebrows, with fertility and reproductive experts saying that such high-risk pregnancies should be avoided.

"When we see something like this in the general fertility world, it gives us the heebie-jeebies," Michael Tucker, an Atlanta-based clinical embryologist and leading researcher in fertility treatments, told the Los Angeles Times.

"If a medical practitioner had anything to do with it, there's some degree of inappropriate medical therapy there," the Times quoted him as saying.

The last octuplets known to have survived birth in the United States, six girls and two boys, were born in Houston in 1998. One of the babies, a girl, died one week later.

"Jummy Jue, Jiffany, Jandie, Jordon, Jizzie, Jackson, Jeather, Jody, Jylan, Jermot, Jordan, Jaylor, Jrittany, Jesley, Jumer, Jout, Jassidy, Joe, Jloe, Jax, Junter, Jubella Jabies, Jendall, Jaitlin, Joah, Jasha, Jorgan, Jyra, Jian, Jauren, J*bert, Jondoleezza Jarie, Jhil, Jirthday, Jrystal Jeth, Jubya, Jincest, Jinternational Jarvester, Jitney, Jwitney, Jary, Jabbed Jin Jail"

Woohoo! 3 months early! That means they can make another one even sooner than planned!

The couple has said they'll continue welcoming children as long as Michelle is able to have them.

Lucky she wasn't like my greatgrandmother who had her menopause in her early 30s.

I wonder how the sex is like with her. No, I srsly don't wanna know.

Michelle Duggar evidently doesn't breastfeed, would would delay ovulation, and since formula fed infants score 5.2 IQ points lower than breastfed ones, there's every chance this mental disability will be perpetuated to all the children.

whether or not that's true any effect on their IQ is gonna be way overshadowed by the fact that she homeschools them from the bible, etc., and iirc they don't believe in letting the girls go to college. oh well.

my point is who cares about whether she breastfeeds them (because the propaganda and moralizing surrounding breastfeeding is tiring tbh), they will end up being as zombie-like as their parents regardless

If god had wanted humans to breastfeed their babies then milk would come out of breasts, so there.

the propaganda and moralizing surrounding breastfeeding is tiring tbh

^^^this

*crossing fingers breastfeeding debate/meltdown/clusterfuck does not ensue*

So, odds are what, she's had at least two gay kids by now?

clusterfuck

Surely most of the Dugg4r kids are still too young for that?

harbl/abbott:

Had I known that was a contentious issue, I'd wouldn't have posted: I just spend a lot of my life tooling around medline and pubmed and thought it no more controversial than FASDs (I've a grown nephew with those).

Michelle Duggar evidently doesn't breastfeed, would would delay ovulation

Uh no. It is not a guaranty. You can still ovulate and, thus, get pregnant. There are plenty of women who breastfeed while pregnant. Here we get a mini-pill when we breastfeed. In fact my pharmacist's wife breastfeed but got pregnant (after three months).

since formula fed infants score 5.2 IQ points lower than breastfed ones

I've read they catch up by a certain age (six?)

Honestly there was a time I regretted breastfeeding my second child. She waking up every (other) hour for the longest time fucked me up for good. hah.

Um, actually the benefits are pretty clear at age 6, at least amongst 14,000 children in Belarus

Well, one more thing I can blame on my mom: my stupidity is due to my mom's desire to stuff a bottle in my mouth instead of a nipple. Beeeeeee-itch. wink wink

BTW for every study there's a counterstudy. (I am exaggerating of course.)

i had actually been thinking about her a couple days ago, like the state of her body and whether she is a superwoman. because i wonder if most women's bodies would just stop accepting any more pregnancies at a certain point. and i was assuming she didn't breastfeed because she got pregnant again and again but maybe i'm wrong. anyway i haven't read the studies about breastfeeding (not something i'm concerned about atm haha) but i know those kinds of conclusions have been criticized because it's not really possible to control properly in that kind of experiment. and also being another one of those things that's not such a big deal but for which people love to tsk disapprovingly. things like being poor (bad schools, not enough food, etc.) should have a much greater effect on IQ than whether you were breastfed.

xp

Of course. There's actually been at least 60 studies by this point, and in reviews, a little more than 2/3s show statistically significant positive effects, about a third none, or nothing with statistical significance. The Belarus study is interesting for two reasons: it huge as these cohort studies go, and Belarus is more ethnically homogeneous than the US or most of Western Europe.

I'm probably thinking too much about this, because my FASDs affected nephew is marrying a woman he knocked up, and they started stocking up on formula 6 months before the birth. I've mentioned one of these studies briefly once while buying them cheesecakes they craved (neither are NNs, she refuses all vegetables), but neither seemed too inquisitive or curious, so I let the matter drop.

xp harbl:

Its impossible to do controlled studies in the U.S. or Western Europe, where health literacy is highly correlated with socioeconomic class, which has a much greater influence on future performance. There's a brief window (perhaps passed) that we can do good studies in East Europe.

xpost

well their kid will probably be less intelligent because his parents are not inquisitive or curious, you know?
i don't even want to have a kid, this is just an interesting problem to me. the level of observation that goes on, beyond scientific things. it's the same thing that provides a context for a woman with 19 kids to have a tv show and have the news announce every time she has another. and the octomom. and all the scary myths about crackbabies.
interesting article btw http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200904/case-against-breastfeeding
