Calif. Octuplets' Mom Does First Interview

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― In her first interview since giving birth to octuplets, Nadya Suleman tells NBC she wanted a huge family to make up for the aloneness she says she always felt as an only child.

In a brief excerpt of the interview released Thursday, the Southern California woman tells "Today" show anchor Ann Curry she had a dysfunctional childhood and sought to erase that with the closeness children could bring.

Suleman, who now has 14 children, says all were conceived through in-vitro fertilization with sperm donated by a friend.

The youngest -- the octuplets -- remain hospitalized. The others range in age from 2 to 7 and are being cared for by her mother.

Suleman says it took seven years of trying before she became pregnant with her first child.

NBC says the full interview with the 33-year-old single mother will air Monday on "Today."
