After delivering all six babies safely, doctors concern turned to their mother. Jenny Mashe suffered acute heart failure several hours after giving birth to her three daughters and three sons Monday, Dr. John Elliott said.
“It’s a mixed blessing,” Elliott said at a news conference at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center.
The heart problems were due to the huge volume of blood Masche was carrying in her body while pregnant. When the babies were delivered, some the extra blood flooded out of her uterus and “stretched her heart and blood vessels to a very, very critical level,” Elliott said.
“So for a while she was very sick.”
Doctors put Masche in the hospital’s intensive care unit and gave her drugs to help her heart deal with the extra blood. Elliott said Masche is now stable and he expects her to be out of the hospital’s ICU by Wednesday.

I have read about the Masche family and find it to be an oxymoron that they decided to not have fetal reduction. Yet, they said they would leave it in “God’s hands” If that were the case they wouldn’t have used modern technology to get pregnant in the first place. Now the children risk dying and the mother had heart problems? I am sure that when the children have further complications in the future the family will rely on health insurance and other means to “fix” their children. (Placing responsibility on tax payers who did not have one hand in this) Had they went ahead and had less in the first place they could have had a better chance of having perfectly normal/ healthy children.
This is another case where greed clouds judgment. Who suffers? The children!!!
