The ultra-rare delivery of octuplets to a California couple took only 5 minutes: the doctors share. [JAN 27 2009] Octuplets born in California doing ‘very, very well’ : BELLFLOWER, CA (AP) ? The octuplets born to a mother in Southern California are doing “very, very well” and breathing on their own, one of their doctors said Tuesday. Mandhir Gupta, a neonatologist at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” the eight babies were in stable condition. Two of the newborns ? the second live octuplets born in US history ? were initially put on ventilators, but their breathing tubes have been removed. “Only three babies need some sort of oxygen through the nose right now but they are breathing on their own,” Gupta said. “The babies are doing actually very, very well. ” The mother, who was not identified, gave birth Monday to the six boys and two girls weighing between 1 pound, 8 ounces, and 3 pounds, 4 ounces. The eighth baby was a surprise to the parents and doctors who had been expecting only seven children. “It is quite easy to miss a baby when you’re anticipating seven,” said Harold Henry, chief of maternal and fetal medicine and one of 46 doctors, nurses and assistants who delivered the children by Caesarean section. Just five minutes after the first birth, the unexpected eighth baby came out at 10:48 am “My eyes were wide,” said Karen Maples, chief of the department of obstetrics and gynecology. Maples said the mother was “very . . .

Greetings All;Before I begin, allow me to say that I’m well aware this is a problem that I should bring to the doctor. I know that I need to do my best to convince them that there’s something wrong, and I need to keep pushing until I get some answers. Well, I’ve tried all of that. First of all, a bit of history: This is my fourth pregnancy, I’ve never had any miscarriages *knocks on wood*. I’m an old hat at typical aches and pains in the pregnancy process. I’ve had preeclampsia twice (first and third pregnancies), with the second resulting in labor induction in my 36th week. I’m not one generally to complain; I know a lot of people say this, but you’re just going to have to trust me on this: I won’t go to the hospital unless someone physically drags me there. Okay, some more info:I’m a 29 year old caucasian, I’ve had both my gall bladder and appendix removed 3 years and 7 years ago respectively. I’ve had all my shots including the full hepatitis series, all over a year or more ago. I was diagnosed with Colitis in January of this year; I’ve had some lower levels of protein and bilirubin in my urine; I’ve had beyond the normal amount of pregnancy nausea, it feels as though as someone kicked me in the stomach; I have pain in my left flank which indicates, along with the protein in my urine, that the hydronephrosis is back with this pregnancy, as well as a urinary tract infection; I have tenderness on the right front side of my body, with pain shooting up to my shoulder, which along with the elevated bilirubin indicates possible liver issues. I’m only 11 weeks and 4 days along, so it’s not like I’m nine months pregnant and impatient. I’m seeing a GI for the colitis; but he can’t/won’t provide relief and the meds just aren’t working, so when I can eat, I have to deal with reffered pain in my back until my food passes through my stomach, and then again as soon as it passes my small intestine. I’ve talked to my GP about the liver/kidney issues, and he simply tested me for Epstein Barr and Mono, which came back negative, and he never followed up. When I tell the OB about the amount of pain my kidneys and urinary tract infection are causing, he pretty much just pats my hand and says “There, there. ” I get light headed if I have to walk more than 100 yards, to the point of where my vision starts to shut off if I don’t stop and catch my breath. I know it’s not my heart, as I’ve had stress tests in the past and I had an EKG in January as well as some blood gasses taken which all came back fine. My white blood cell count is elevated (just high, not above normal), my red blood cells are low, elevated C-ReactivProteinsns and slight anemia. I’m at a dead end; which is why i turned to Yahoo! Answers. I can hardly function and no one seems to care. I’m seriously ready to slip back into a depression. I honestly don’t know how much of an answer I’m looking for. . . this is more or less just the chance to vent my frustrations. If anybody has any thoughts on at which point my doctors will actually care and not just brush it off as “normal pregnancy issues”, that would really be helpful. Maybe there’s something I’m not communicating which is allowing the doctors to think that I’m just complaining. I don’t know; in any case, thanks for taking the time to read my meandering thoughts. Wish you well.
