<p><strong>Nadya Suleman</strong>—aka &#8220;Octomom&#8221;—is taking a moment to speak about the impact that her famous octuplet pregnancy had on her body and how she keeps the physical pain away.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Suleman Suffered Pelvic Damage &; A &#8220;Torn Abdominal Cavity&#8221;</h3>
<p>On <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CuAtAIGvJNg/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&;igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a>, the mother-of-14 acknowledged some of the hardships she faced while carrying octuplets—whom she delivered in 2009.</p>
<p>She started by revealing how she stays healthy &#8220;in spite of [her] stressful, busy lifestyle with such a big family.&#8221;</p>

<p>After Nadya shared her workout regimen, she acknowledged the importance of &#8220;maintaining [her] strength and mobility,&#8221; especially considering the physical &#8220;repercussion[s]&#8221; she faced during her famous pregnancy.</p>
<p>She suffered herniated disks, injuries to her sacrum, and nerve damage. Additionally, Nadya Suleman revealed she even had to deal with &#8220;a torn abdominal cavity.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;As a repercussion of the pregnancy, I sustained three more herniated discs (had one herniated disc from a work-related injury decades ago); bilateral sciatica; damaged sacrum and peripheral neuropathy (and a torn abdominal cavity to top it off).&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>She noted, <strong><em>&#8220;Such disabilities would render me incapacitated if I were to lead a sedentary lifestyle.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p>However, she thanks her &#8220;active&#8221; lifestyle for helping her fend off the pain.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Though it seems counterintuitive, the more active I am, the less pain I experience. Several days without weight training exacerbates my already excruciating back pain and near immobility.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>After acknowledging that she&#8217;s encouraged her kids to lead active lives as well, Nadya Suleman straight-up credited physical activity with giving her sufficient &#8220;mental [and] physical wherewithal.&#8221; As a single mother of 14, being in tip-top shape helps her keep up with the family!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I would not have the mental or physical wherewithal to do what I do if it were not for working out!&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>As The Shade Room reported, the children—Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nariyah, Josiah, Jonah, and Makai—marked the milestone in late January.</p>
<p>After praising her children&#8217;s character, she briefly reflected on how the &#8220;struggles they&#8217;ve faced&#8221; over the years have &#8220;strengthened [their] connections to one another.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nadya Suleman wrapped up her message by writing, <strong><em>&#8220;I hope we will continue to grow as a family. I am blessed beyond measure to be your mother. </em></strong><br />
<strong><em>I love you.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
