Octomom Nadya Suleman Regrets Not Suing Doctor Who Made Her Mom Of 14 Kids – Without Her Consent

Nadya Suleman, often referred to as  “Octomom,” became a global sensation in 2009 when she gave birth to eight babies, Noah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jonah, Josiah, Makai, Maliyah, and Nariya, all at once after undergoing an inVitro Fertilization procedure in which she was implanted with a dozen embryos. This was a groundbreaking event, as it resulted in the birth of the first-ever set of octuplets to survive. Before this, Nadya was already a mother to six children, making her a parent of 14 kids in total.

Now, more than a decade later, Nadya, who was already singlehandedly raising six other children, whom she had earlier given birth to, recently opened up about her life in an exclusive interview. The “Octomom” looked back on her journey of raising 14 children on her own with a mix of gratitude and introspection. While she has struggled with criticisms over the years, Nadya revealed her biggest regret about her decision.

Speaking with People about her last pregnancy, Nadya revealed that she had gone to the Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Bellflower, California with the intention to have just one more child. However, her attending doctor, Michael Kamavara had other plans as he later revealed that he implanted 12 embryos as opposed to the six he had earlier told the mother of 14.

She explained that even though she loves all her children, she regretted not taking legal actions against her doctor. The Octomom acknowledged that her decision not to sue had long-term consequences for her family because the compensation she would have gotten from filing a suit against Kamavara would have made life easy for her and her kids, especially because she was struggling financially and even living with her parents at the time.

Nadya Suleman says she did not sue Dr. Kamavara because she owed him her journey into motherhood

The “Octomom” who recently celebrated her Octuplets’ 13th birthday with a heartwarming Instagram post reflected on the complex nature of her relationship with the doctor, balancing gratitude with the weight of her struggles. She shared that even though she regretted covering up for Dr. Kamavara, she did it at the time because she might not have become a mother without his help.

Nadya, who in a previous interview with Keith Olbermann revealed her struggles with several fertility problems including an ectopic pregnancy, scarred fallopian tubes and some failed attempt at artificial insemination, explained that when she met Kamavara, he was the only one who was innovative enough to try out a technique that eventually launched her into motherhood, her deep sense of gratitude made it difficult for her to file a suit against him.
