Octuplets' mother 'already has six children' - Update

A woman who gave birth to octuplets earlier this week already has six children - including twins, it has been claimed.

The unnamed mother is still recovering in hospital after the arrival of the six boys and two girls on Monday.

All eight are doing well and breathing on their own at the Kaiser Permanente's Bellflower Medical Center in southern California, despite being born nine weeks premature.

As four of the babies started bottle feeding, speculation grew over whether the multi-birth was natural.

Two people claiming to be grandparents of the octuplets rang a radio station and disclosed that the mother had six other children.

Medical experts said questions would be asked if it emerged that a woman with six children received fertility treatment.
