The Southern California woman who gave birth to octuplets this week has six other children and never expected to have eight more when she took fertility treatment, her mother said Thursday.



Angela Suleman said her daughter expects a big challenge raising 14 children. The good news, she said, is all the babies appear healthy.

"I looked at those babies. They are so tiny and so beautiful," she told The Los Angeles Times.

Suleman's daughter gave birth to the octuplets Monday at a hospital in Bellflower but has requested that doctors keep her name confidential. For three days, media knew little about the woman, until an acquaintance of the family told CBS' "The Early Show" on Thursday that the mother is "fairly young" and lives with her parents and her six children, including twins.
