Just wondering if anyone here saw the segment on Oprah today about an American couple that had twins through IVF and decided after a couple of years that they really wanted to experience having another baby and ended up with sextuplets.

OMG.. can you imagine that!! wacko.gif

I've already had my whinge in WDYT.

Personally, I think its irresponsible to have such HOM and the fertility specialist who treated them should be struck from the record.

When you get past the 'wow' or 'oh, how cute' factor, there are so many great reasons that birthing babies in such large numbers is discouraged across the board and steps are taken to avoid it.

I'm also not a fan of parents who parade their children to the media for financial gain or short-lived celebrity.

Is this John and Kate?

There is a show on Foxtel of this family and it is great to watch. I like watching it as it makes my life feel so much easier


They haven't said but it does look as though at least 2 of the sextuplets are ID.
