I Was Octomom: The Natalie Suleman Story
While "Octomom" may sound like a superhero from a blockbuster movie, for Natalie Suleman, it's a label that vilified and altered her life forever. In January 2009, Natalie gave birth to eight babies--the first human to accomplish this miraculous feat. However, instead of being celebrated for this record-breaking event, she faced harsh scrutiny. A media frenzy quickly followed, questioning the motives behind her pregnancy and depicting her as an emblem of the unchecked extremes of infertility treatments. This Lifetime Original portrays the resilience and determination of "Octomom," showcasing how she overcame overwhelming odds to raise her children on her own terms. Kristen Gutoskie, Caitlyn Stryker, Anita Wittenberg, David Alan Pearson, Jovanna Burke, and Karen Holness star (2025).
