Nine in the womb and the little one said...Roll over, it's crowded. Crowded, indeed, for a woman pregnant with six girls and three boys. Yes, that's right. Nine babies!
At 57-years-old, Susan Tollefsen was all for in vitro fertilization (IVF). Now, raising a three-year-old daughter on her own, the British mom has her doubts.
Tollefsen, 61, told the Daily Mail that there should be a cap for people seeking fertility treatment.
When her daughter was conceived, Tollefsen was confident that her partner, 11 years her junior, would be able to help care for their daughter Freya. That was all well and good before the couple split.
Since studies have shown that obese women struggle to conceive naturally and face higher risks of medical complications through in-vitro fertilization (IVF), Canadian doctors are considering barring such women from obtaining fertility treatments.
Carly Weiner has a bone to pick with the Ontario government. Although she was born in Quebec, when she moved to Ontario several years ago, little did she know it would hit her so hard in the pocket. Or that it might even cost her a family. You could say that Weiner is suffering from IVF envy.
"I just wish Ontario could offer the same support as Quebec," says Weiner.
It's not the 6/49, that's for sure. In Britain later this month, gamblers can scratch for a chance to win...a baby. That's right. It's the world's first ever IVF lottery.
