I've been a doula for 25 years now, and the first of those babies has just had a baby and that makes me so happy.

NINE babies! It's amazing they stayed in until 39 weeks!!!

Nonuplets are extremely rare - and doctors had thought Halima Cissé was carrying seven babies.

I hate the "teen mom" genre of reality shows because they always make the teens seem like such total dips**ts. I've had plenty of teen moms as clients who were more "together" than clients in their 30s or 40s. Yes, ideally teen pregnancy wouldn't happen, but people need to get off their judgy, stereotyping, as***le horses.

And while we're at it, in real life, teen moms are treated like s**t by hospital staff. If hospital staff could F**K OFF with the "you dumb slut, you did this to yourself" attitude, that'd be great. (At least I've never seen this behaviour from a birth center/homebirth midwife.)

GRAAAH!

SPECIAL DELIVERY: As Dr. Amanda Hess was getting into her hospital gown to be induced to give birth, she heard nurses prepping a woman who needed to give birth right away because her baby was in distress. But the woman's OBGYN was not at the hospital yet, so Dr. Hess (an OBGYN herself) put on another gown to cover her backside, threw on boots over her flip-flops and delivered the baby -- then her own: http://www.fox13news.com/health/271188356-story
