Pregnant With 9 Babies: Mexican Woman Lied To Make History

In a staggering story out of Mexico, a woman has claimed to be carrying 9 babies–due just next month–and was busted shortly after for lying about it by the news outlets she was interviewed by.

Karla Vanessa Perez, of Coahuila, Mexico, reportedly said she was already the mother of triplets–which is also not true–and had a fertility treatment in order to acquire another multiple-embryo pregnancy. She even went to the lengths of making up how many of each sex she was carrying: six girls and three boys. In fact, Perez isn’t currently pregnant at all, seeing as how she had a tubal ligation after her youngest child was born. Her children are 15, 12, and 4 years old.

Seems to me that with all the media buzz surrounding “Octomom” Nadya Suleman recently, Perez was looking for some attention. Suleman made history in 2009 when she delivered 8 healthy babies, the biggest delivery on record.

José Salvador Gallegos Mata of the gynaecology society said it’s likely that Perez has emotional problems that need to be dealt with.

“That woman needs urgent psychological treatment,” he said.

It is an ambarassment to all Mexicans and women alike, that this woman went to such lengths for publicity. Why lie about something so serious unless you are looking for attention??!! Shame on her!! If she is in need of phsycological help, I hope she gets it.

The bigger problem I see is that journalism ethics have devolved so that news is nothing more than a rush-to-print tabloid service. Stories should be researched, else they are no more than gossip. Shame on the press.

I just read the rest of these comments and I have to ask, when did we become such a mean and uncaring sset of beings. I may not be the nicest person or correct at times but, I thank every God we know and believe in that I was given a heart and the ability to use it.I have 5 wonderful children from 20yrs.-2yrs6mos. and unfortunately lost as many also but I believe theres a reason everything happens for good or bad and we don’t know the reasons for this womans doings only her and her God know that.Judge not,lest ye be judged, in other words we don’t have the right to judge,its for God to do.

And before you go correcting someone else’s grammar, learn how and when to use “than” and “then”!!!

I believe the info you gave about the eight babies being born healthy is incorrect. The most one baby waighed was 3 lbs 1 oz and the lowest was 1 lb 8 oz. The babies had to be fed intravenously and spent several weeks in the hospital. Those are not healthy babies!

When did it become necessary for us to give birth to litters of children. I think anyone who has children would agree with me. Look at women like Nadya Suleman and Kate Gosselin. I have 3 beautiful children who are all 4 years apart. They are bright funny loving caring wonderful children because I can dedicate my individual time for all three. When we start having children like cats with litter after litter the kids suffer and so do we. they feel alone and isolated because they are not getting the attention they need. So please think about them first. Love your children.

  This lady has the right idea, rather than being hateful to this woman because she obviously has something lacking in her life and felt that this was the way to get whatever it may be that she needs, think of the children you have or dream of having and be thankful. As a human have a little compassion for her rather than hate, is’nt that what we need and moreover our children need to feel,have,and learn from us as a society in total.Hatred starts war,fighting, and suicide for some of our weaker brothers and sisters.

Thank God it was a lie. There are too many people in the world already. Too bad “responsible human breeding” sounds like such a pinko idea, because ALL the world’s problems stem from overpopulation. But, lets keep giving fertility treatments so that women who were naturally selected not to have children can have litters of cabbage head babies to fill their trailers and council flats, Yeah lets continue to suck up all the world’s non-renewable resources. I was ADOPTED. Oh yeah, that’s what women used to do if they could not have a baby with their HUSBAND. Now science steps in to help overpopulate the world. Good work. If we overpopulate then people will see the need for Monsanto!

Parental respomsibility any more seems to either be total neglect or so overprotective-their offspring can do NOTHING wrong!

  Doc – I am the mother of 4 kids including one set of triplets. I used fertility treatments to get pregnant with my triplets, however contrary to your pea brain thought that I was “naturally selected not to have children” I was not the partner who had fertility problems, I just happened to be married to a man who had fertility problems. It is unfortunate that your birth mother was NOT “naturally selected not to have children”. God wanted me to have children, that’s why she blessed me with 4 beautiful, caring, well adjusted children who are all teens right now. My children were 100% wanted, none of them were mistakes, how can you possibly insinuate that my children shouldn’t have been born.

  This woman is just an impulsive liar. I’ve met plenty and dealt with plenty. But just because you are on the internet does not mean you can bash people, or that you are better than her. Some people are very sick mentally. And just by reading this, I believe that this woman is one of them. Plenty of people have a compulsive disorder and believe their own stories. Yes, it gets them in trouble, and yes, it makes us all feel like humanity is slowly devolving. But hey, just think of all the non-mentally unstable people you know. Oh and Doc, I have 2 sons that I placed for adoption. I did it because I wanted them to have the best possible life they could and I knew it wasn’t with me. I see them, I talk to them, and I know them. I’m married now and expecting my first child with my husband. Talk to your birth mom if you can and find the TRUE STORY behind why she did what she did, o.k.?

She was so worried about herself that i’m sure she didn’t think of the possiblilty of bringing negative attention to her children. Besides there are many women out there that can’t have children, who would love to have at least one. And she is sitting around and falsely telling the world she’s having 9, SHAME ON HER!!!!!!
