She done did it. As soon as I figure out how to transfer pics from my phone.....(I tried emailing them to myself, didn't work)

My daughter is expecting twins. She has 28 day until she is 37 weeks. 42 weeks is full term. The DR wants her to go at least 37 weeks to allow for maximum development. My questions is, what can we expect? Obviously, I/we've done the child raising thing, but not twins. Any insight would be welcome.

The Southern California woman who gave birth to octuplets last week told TODAY’s Ann Curry in an exclusive interview that growing up as an only child, she had always dreamed of having “a huge family.” She also denied charges that she was irresponsible to have so many babies — especially with six other children already at home.

When a 33-year-old, single woman gives birth to octuplets one thing we can count on is the mainstream media doing what it does best: providing a stream of disinformation in the name of political correctness. As Ann Coulter has pointed out single moms have been elevated to sainthood and are above criticism.

Octuplets' family had 'filed for bankruptcy and fled their home' By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 30th January 2009 The family of a set of octuplets born earlier this week allegedly filed for bankruptcy and abandoned a home, it has been claimed. The report came as the mother who gave birth to the octuplets - giving her a grand total of 14 children - spoke for the first time, saying her babies are 'miraculous'. But as more details emerged about her massive family, she became caught up in an ethics row over how an apparently single mother - who already had six...

PRAGUE –– Fertility specialists are pushing for tighter controls to reduce the number of multiple births from IVF treatments, a leading expert said on Sunday. The number of twins and triplets has risen since Louise Brown, the world's first in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) baby, was born nearly three decades ago. In Europe now, almost a quarter of successful fertility procedures result in multiple births. Professor Paul Devroey, chairman of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE), believes it is too high and that more needs to be done to reduce the risk. "There is a need to replace fewer...

I just wanted to inform you that the quintuplets were born on July 3rd. They are the 41st(known) set of all male quintuplets.

Last spring, when her obstetrician suggested an ultrasound test to see if she was carrying more than one baby, Jennell Dickens prayed that she wasn't carrying twins. When an ultrasound technician examined her belly, counting two, three and four heartbeats, she steeled herself for quadruplets. That was before a radiologist entered the room and found another heartbeat. Dickens cried for two months. Yesterday, she was the picture of composure, smiling and laughing at the University of Maryland Medical Center just two days after delivering four girls and a boy 10 weeks early. They weighed a combined 11 pounds, 14 ounces....
