Nadya Suleman Airs It Out On The "Today" Show

It looks like Nadya Suleman is finally talking! The octuplet mom has given an interview to NBC's Today Ann Curry that will air some time next week.

The mother of 14 defends her decision about undergoing in vitro fertilization when she already had 6 kids at home. She disspells any thoughts of her being completely irresponsible and selfish to bring these children in the world without a clear source of income and enough help to raise them.

During the interview, Nadya Suleman, 33, talks about how she fell into deep depression after years of failed pregnancies. It took her 7 years before she had her first child. In 1999 she gave birth for the first time, after a 1999 injury during a riot at a state mental hospital where she worked.

According to a psychological evaluation in her workers' compensation case, Suleman feared she would lose the child and sunk into an intense depression.

"When you have a history of miscarriages, you think it will take a miracle," she told Dr. Dennis Nehamen. "I just wanted to die. I suspected I was pregnant but I thought, 'That's ridiculous.'"

But the 2001 birth of the baby "helped my spirits," Suleman said.

Papers filed in the Worker's Comp case show she collected over $165,000 in disability payments between 2002 and 2008 for the work injury.

Ms. Suleman also discussed the pain she endured as a result of the breakup of her marriage to Marcos Gutierrez, whom she wed in 1996 and divorced in 2008.

It appears that the general public is still unsure what to think about the whole thing. Many still wonder what were her motives really were.

Could jealousy be a reason for the negative sentiment? I mean she is the most sought after mom in the world and she has plenty of potential offers, including possible book and TV deals, and might do other interviews later!

Maybe we are all focused on the wrong person - shouldn't we be thinking about the children and their health?
