All Eyes On Her
After Nadya’s birth, she became the focus of many experts in the medical community. Because they didn’t yet know her pregnancy was the result of Dr. Kamrava’s IVF treatments, many were eager to examine her and understand how she was able to become pregnant with eight babies simultaneously, let alone carry them to term.
Even after learning that her pregnancy was the result of IVF treatments, the fact that her body was able to withstand the pregnancy was still considered extraordinary.
Media Darling?
By the time Nadya’s octuplets were born, she was already a media darling. Newspapers, tabloids, news channels and bloggers were all talking about her extraordinary pregnancy, and her face was seen on screens in every household in America.
“Octomom” was a viral sensation – and Nadya intended to capitalize on it.
Shortly after giving birth, Nadya hired a PR team with the intention of staying ahead of the story and managing it – a feat which soon proved to be much more difficult than she had first anticipated.
