Make room for Multiples

The one that is on right now, the woman's husband died in a car crash, she had the hospital save his sperm right away. After 10 IVF attmpts she is pregnant with his quadruplets.

I think it is great his legacy is living on but how in the world will she be a single mom to 4 babies?

He was on the phone with her when the crash occured, he had just called to tell her he loved her.

UGH!

yeah I saw that one... I was a little mixed on the thought too. I'm glad she's happy, but I don't know if it'd be right for me.

I judge.  I won't get into it because I am not in the mood to debate, but I think she is irresponsible.

I haven't seen this episode (or very many of that show for that matter) however; if that what she feels is right for her more power to her.

However; in my situation- HELL NO! I have the support of DH (even though he does work crazy hours and I stay home with the kids) and I just have twins and a singleton and there are days where I can't deal. To each their own I guess.

ITA that I'm judging. How in the world will she support four babies alone? It makes me wonder if she'll be living off the system. Flame away....

Judgey opinion: It makes me sad to think that maybe she was not letting herself grieve and focusing too much on the idea of getting PG with his child.

Non-judgey opinion: I can relate to where she's coming from. I won't get into my story, but I'll just leave it at that. And looking back on my life, I'm glad there was no child.

This coupled with the risk she is putting her babies in for birth defect and special needs by having quads.   If you can have children with a dead person, then you need to take responsibility for the other side of the to much science coin.  I should not get into this.  I will stop now.

I think having quads is a bit much (but who knows how many were transferred).  Maybe she has loads of insurance money, maybe she has retired parents/inlaws to help, etc.  

Who knows. I judge those who judge and don't know all the facts.  There are so many  ppl out there living with partners that are abusing the system and have done far worse things than use their deceased husband's sperm to fulfill their dream.

How do you know she isn't taking responsibility?  Maybe she only transferred 2 and they both split?   If she has a top notch MFM and is able to just 'house' those babies and no complications herself, there may not be a reason for SR.

WOW! This turned into a conversation I didn't intend it to. I was just surprised at the topic of the show, she does have a job and is going back to it after hiring a nanny, she has the help of her parents and his mom who are both retired. It just made me think about what I would do in her situation and the immense responsibility it entails having four babies.

Like I said, I am not going to get into this.  Everyone has an opinion.  You have yours, I have mine.

In this case selective reduction might have been a good choice.  That is a lot of babies for a single parent.

Yes, but I have to go to the park in 20 minutes, and I need to keep folding the laundry :-)
