Life As The Mother Of 14 Children
After her marriage with Marcos she failed to give birth to their child so in 1997 she received IVF treatments under the supervision of Dr. Michael Kamrava, which led her to give birth to her first son in the year 2001, Eliya Makai Suleman. Her other five children, Joshua, Caleb, Calyssa, Amerah, & Aidan were born within a span of four years.
Even after having six kids, Nadya continued her IVF treatment. During her sixth pregnancy, Dr. Michael transferred twelve embryos-departing from the medical standard. Natalie claimed,
“I was misled by my doctor,”.
Her stomach was so swollen that it broke her ribs. These led Nadya to be pregnant with eight babies, and Dr. Michael’s medical license was revoked.
