California Medical Board probes octuplet birth

2 hours ago

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Medical Board of California is investigating whether there were any violations by a fertility doctor who helped a woman become pregnant with the octuplets born last month.

Board spokeswoman Candis Cohen says the board will determine whether there was a violation of medical standards. The board has not identified who is under investigation or where the fertility treatment was performed.

The probe was first reported by the Whittier Daily News.

Nadya Suleman of Whittier gave birth to six boys and two girls on Jan. 26. The 33-year-old single mother has six other children. In a portion of an NBC interview broadcast Friday, Suleman says all her children were born through in vitro fertilization by the same specialist.

(This version CORRECTS that Suleman does say all her children were born through in-vitro fertilization in portion of NBC interview broadcast Friday.)

The lastest news on this "woman who formerly wished to remain anonymous" is that she gave a tv interview with Ann Curry. I saw a clip. She looks kind of like Angelina Jolie. Anyway, apparently she tried to get pregnant for 7 years before she had her first child in 2001. At some point she separated from her husband. She's 33 so that means she has been trying to have children since she was what 18? Then she was injured in a workplace accident and suffered from depression...which contributed to the end of her marriage. Anyway, she still hasn't convinced me that she is stable enough for 14 kids.
