Just...wow.

A Tunisian woman is pregnant with 12 babies after having fertility treatments. TWELVE.

Click the link to see a photo of her belly. My goodness.

I didn't read the article, but far out. I couldn't even conceive of ever having more than two kids... several years apart. The mind boggles (and does so very easily, since I've had two vats of wine tonight*.

It's not actually an article. It's just 3 lines, so it's more of a long photo caption. :)

The PICTURE of that woman, though! Good lord. Did you SEE her?? I thought it a crime that *I* wound up with stretch marks from pregnancy, but good god, I seem like an insignificant little whiner with no case compared to what this woman will have! (It's strangely comforting that I know for CERTAIN someone will have a flabbier belly than I did after pregnancy, too. ;D)

TWELVE?! OMG! And look at that belly! *stares* Dude...

I KNOW! It's crazy! I didn't even know a human uterus could fit that many fetuses!

This makes me shudder and squirm all over the place. And can she seriously have gained no spread anywhere but in her belly with 12 babies inside her? Part of me wishes that picture is photoshopped because it really gives me the heebies (probably mostly because the idea of 12 babies gives me the heebies).

I've been pregnant before and thought I had a HUGE belly but JIMINY CRICKETS that chick has an APPENDAGE there! And seriously, I gained weight everywhere for my first kid, not so much for my second but still some. For Boobah I was mostly belly until my 9th month. I gained 82 pounds for Wiggle. :( As you might imagine, I went from a size 4/6 to a size 20. But good lord, that Tunisian woman makes me feel like I was TINY (well, her belly anyway. No place else has any fat).

Bonkers!

Absolutely! Viewed from the side, her belly looks rather like a cartoon nose!
