Happy and Freaked out at the same time.My mom has a big family and it would be nice to grow up with a big family.But all the crying would give me a HUGE headache! At least they will be getting free milk and diapers for two years!

Answer 7

I'm sick thinking about it.

Answer 8

i would be freaking out and hope we're good enough on money... BUT i would love them all the same.

Overwhelmed and Blessed!

James, that article states that it is Septuplets not sextuplets:

Two offspring – twins

Three offspring – triplets

Four offspring – quadruplets

Five offspring – quintuplets

Six offspring – sextuplets

Seven offspring – septuplets

Eight offspring – octuplets

Nine offspring – nonuplets

Ten offspring – decaplets

Eleven offspring – undecaplets

Twelve offspring – duodecaplets

Thirteen offspring – tredecaplets

Fourteen offspring – quattrodecaplets

Fifteen offspring – quindecaplets

Answer 10

lately on news in iraq some one had 6 babies

he pledged the whole world to help that he cant feed them

i m sure if this happens in our society i m sure he will be looked after very well financially and home like service

one unheard pray i had that god bless me by having a twin

i m sure that heavens were by the time open and god gave me that bless

i m really for that and more day and night thank full for "ne3amu allah"

still i know how difficult is to raise three as being born together out of a friends experience

it was him and his wife then in one day they were 5

his mother in law and her husband came from Amman as our traditions  then his mother and father came to help so they were nine pple in less than a week time

and he was very simple person with ordinary income and he has to feed all the nine

some company of milk products offered him the nilk till they were three years old

Answer 11

One word: OVERWHELMED!  

I would be happy though because I love the idea of a big family.  However, I will definitely need my family to help me or hire a few nannies.  

I would pray for their health, too, because I know the babies' developmental health would be at risk.  Like for example, there was a woman who gave birth to septuplets before and the babies began to have physical/mental development problems.  There are other cases like this.

@  Beautiful Mind: She gave the names (terminology) of when multiple babies are born at the same time.  Like the case of the woman who gave birth to seven babies, she gave birth to "septuplets".  "James" (the first answerer) thought that the woman gave birth to "sextuplets" (six babies) but that was incorrect.

Answer 12

Honestly i would feel really happy, i like big families.

---------------------------------

i dont understand Stephaini answer, ( I got it) thank you Fraspa

--------------------------------------

what would worry me is their character development will be a hard task on the parents. because in such big number of siblings one of them might start to isolate himself if s/he thought s/he is not attracting his/her parents attention enough. so the parents should be awar of that.

Answer 13

Dead. Like screaming.

Answer 14

Happy! I want  ALOT of children!

Answer 15

I would probably go nuts if I had 7 babies at once.   The Egyptian government plans to provide them with free milk for the first two years, so this will help the family financially.  I hope the babies do well.  

Answer 16

I'd go crazy.

but I'm sure I'd be fun and interesting.

I would start saving for college now.

Answer 17

i would probably feel a lot like the reality tv show couple of Jon and Kate plus 8.  I'm a mother but I don't enjoy all that comes w/ raising children since it's so demanding.  a career outside of the home is so much easier!  there are many other entertaining things to be doing than raising children.  I'd probably feel as if my life were completely over unless I had enough $ for a lot of good help.  i like personal space so this would be a challenge/a curse instead of a "blessing."

Answer 18

first of all they're all healthy and congratulations and I would be happy

Answer 19

You mean before or after I sit down and cry?

I think that I would be overwhelmed at the responsibility of that many little people relying on me, and maybe a bit panicky too.    

How on earth would you afford to feed, clothe, and educate them all?  Holy c**p!

Answer 20

i will feel busy , very very busy , i have to work and help my wife to raise them , i have to get them the food and the clothes and try to make thier life happy , but how can i save thier names in my mind ??:S

Answer 21

I would be the most grateful and happiest person on earth ..

Answer 22

"Holy c**p..."

Then after that I more than likely wouldn't have time to think again for the next 18 years or so...

Answer 23

Well I gave birth to twins and I thought that was alot but having 7 babies and 10 total?! Wow! I wish them the best of luck.

If I was the mother of them I would be very busy to really feel or think anything lol. But I would love every single one of them and count them as a blessing.

Answer 24

in all cases if it was me, i will die, either from happiness or sadness.
