Nadya suleman Ready to share her parenting trip on her own terms.
Sixteen years after welcoming eight infants in a hospital in an area in Los Angeles, winning the name “Octomom,” Suleman, 49, returns to the spotlight and shows what life really is like as lifting the longest surviving longest surviving A group of octulets – Along with six extra children.
“I’ve been hoping and praying for one day to have a chance to share my true story, to have a voice when I didn’t have one at first,” Suleman said on the episode on Friday, March 7, of The scene. “Now my children are older. My Octplets are now 16 and they have been strongly encouraged. “
Throughout the six -part documentary series Octomome ConfessionsViewers watch Suleman give a close look at her history and life today as a 14 mother. Along the way, she hopes to look at her family side to many viewers who have not seen many.

Whether she’s driving in the car, working out in a gym or shopping grocery in a supermarket, Suleman prefers to keep her whole face and body covered for various reasons.
“I had been very consistent for decades since I was in my early 20s with sunscreen and I am actually to protect my skin from the sun,” he explained in the opening scene. “That’s not the only reason. It certainly helps with my social concern. Nobody knows. They look and they look away. It doesn’t distract any attention because people don’t want to look and stare. “
Although her children acknowledge that it may be strange to some, their mother’s public uniform is normal for them.
Days after welcoming eight children, Suleman chose unwilling to take part in a television interview with a former NBC newspaperer Ann Curry.
“I felt horrific about myself. I won 150 lbs during the whole pregnancy so at that point, I was still about 100 pounds heavier than usual, ”he shared. “They let me choose which interviewer so I chose (for) a news anchor and I didn’t know who she was. I never watched anything he did. “
As for why Curry chose, Suleman said “She was one of the only girls” who was on the list of journalists available and thought “I would feel comfortable talking to a woman.”
Eventually, Suleman said she was not in the “mind frame to be transparent or honest.” Instead, she felt she was “attacked” and just wanted to be reunited with her children.
Throughout the Docuseries and in recent interviews, Suleman has been called by her birth name, Natalie.
“I chose to go back to my birth name,” he explained, “because Nadya at the time intertwined with the pain associated with octomome.” Future chapters promise to dive deeper into how and why Suleman was able to emotionally move away from his “Octomom” identity.
According to Suleman, being a single mother had left her target of more salacious headlines and public anger than she believes she would have suffered if she had welcomed her children alongside a partner.
“I guarantee that if I was more conventional and led a more traditional lifestyle, a husband would have acted as a buffer in the public hatred,” he claimed. “It would be much less serious. There may have been judgment, but it would not have been this public anger. “
Simpler, Suleman noted, “If I had a husband, there would not have been much story.”
When she was 31 weeks pregnant, Suleman remembered receiving the dreadful news that one of her babies had stopped growing.
Not feeling any contractions, she expressed hope waiting until at least 34 weeks during a pregnancy before giving rise to her children. Ultimately, she had to make a decision.
“Either to save life (Jonah) (AC) within 24 hours, fulfill all of them or allow it to stop growing and then pass and then allow the others to grow bigger, stronger so they could fight,” he said. “I couldn’t allow him to die.” Days later, Suleman welcomed eight healthy babies.
Remembering the birth of his octulets, Suleman described the distribution as “horrific.”
“I had to be motivated. They did the epidural and the anesthesiologist had come to me and said, ‘I’m sorry, but an abdominal cavity (your) cavity is a bit too big for all the epidural to cover so you might) feel a little,’ ”he remembered. “That was actually euphemism, because I felt everything.”
While several doctors – including an ultrasound technician – expect only seven babies to be delivered, Suleman had a “mother instinct” or “gut feeling,” she expected eight.
After the seventh baby was born, Suleman remembered the moment “a resident went and explored the womb to make sure everything was fine and felt a hand.” Certainly, the nearly 45 hospital workers working on Suleman delivery had one last baby to send.
