Nadya Suleman

Natalie Denise Suleman (born Nadya Denise Doud-Suleman), known as Octomom in the media, is an American media personality who came to international attention when she gave birth to the first surviving octuplets in January 2009. The circumstances of their high-order multiple birth led to controversy in the field of assisted reproductive technology as well as an investigation by the Medical Board of California of the fertility specialist involved. Suleman conceived the octuplets and her six older children via in vitro fertilization (IVF).
