Nadya Suleman Reflects on Life as 'Octomom' Ahead of New Lifetime Projects

The mother of 14 opens up about her struggles, regrets, and resilience as she prepares for the premiere of her biopic and docuseries.

Nadya Suleman, known as 'Octomom,' discusses her journey to motherhood, revealing she always dreamed of creating a large family despite her challenging upbringing and fertility struggles.
Suleman expresses regret over not suing her fertility doctor, who implanted 12 embryos during IVF without her knowledge, but credits him for enabling her to have her children.
She addresses misconceptions about her finances, stating she funded her IVF treatments with savings, inheritance, and student loans, and denies using government assistance for conception.
After years of financial and personal struggles, including controversial media appearances, Suleman left the spotlight in 2013 to focus on her family and work as a therapist.
Her new Lifetime film, 'I Was Octomom,' and docuseries, 'Confessions of Octomom,' premiering March 8 and March 10, will delve into her life story and her children's experiences growing up in the public eye.
