Multiple Births Times Two

Filed in archive Pregnancy on July 15, 2006

Imagine expecting one child and finding out that you are getting two? Imagine if you are told that you would be having three? Four?

Now imagine how Angelina Magdaleno, who delivered triplets three years ago, must have felt after she was told that she will be giving birth to quadruplets?! That's 3 + 4 = 7. In addition, she has 3 more older kids.

Thank God that the oldest kid lives elsewhere because she and her husband will soon be leaving the hospital and will be heading for home. Home for all 11 of them is a one-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles.

Now, this couple wanted to have many children. Fine. But I sure hope that they thought of the practical side of things first.
