while i don’t necessarily believe her when she says she “loathes” pregnancy, i watched the interview with dr phil & i was waiting for him to ask her if she was “addicted” to birthing, because that is something i can relate to (no matter what some male “expert” may say about it). i remember pushing my child out as one of the most powerful, profound, emotional, satisfying moments of my life. immediately i wanted to do it again! i don’t know how many of her older children where born via cesarean, but if she’s anything like me, that moment of birthing is plenty motivation to get pregnant again.

I completely agree with you. Pushing your child into this world is such a powerful and emotional moment. I have six children, all of which were vaginal births (including 6 week old twins). My husband and I take a similar approach to children as Angelina and Brad- if you can love all of them, provide each one with one-on-one time every day, and support them financially and emotionally we will have more. However six is plenty for right now.
I do not agree with the octuplet’s mum, because as a single parent on welfare I do not think she can provide for 14 children. However good luck to her.
