You may have heard the bizarre story of Nadya Suleman, the mom who gave birth recently to octuplets via in vitro fertilization. Adding the most recent 8 to her bunch, she now takes care of a whopping 14 children while reportedly receiving food stamps to aid in supporting some of her children. It’s certainly a weird story if there ever was one.

But take a look at these pictures from Just Jared showing the massive belly she had just 8 days before giving birth to 8 kids! OMG! I’ve heard people say that women get more attractive when they’re pregnant, but I think this is definitely an exception. I’m sorry, this is just kind of gross.
