I Was Octomom: The Natalie Suleman Story

In January 2009, Suleman accomplished a miraculous feat and became the first woman to give birth to eight children as a single parent with the help of IVF, only to have her life torn apart and her identity rebranded by the media. What could have been celebrated as an inspirational moment was turned negative when the public learned of Suleman's motivations, her many IVF procedures, and how she conceived her previous six children. Suleman was scrutinized and made an example of how fertility treatments were spiraling out of control. As a single mom, she struggled to provide for her family, and she turned to offers from the media. As the tabloid media continued to cash in on the negativity that surrounded her, Natalie became one of the most hated women in the world, received death threats, and the legitimate offers dwindled. In a dark place but determined to beat the odds and keep her children all under one roof, Suleman did whatever it took to turn her life around and keep her family safe and together.
