She has never quite been given the reins to take control of her own narrative until now.
Michael Kamrava but he didnt exactly give her the results she wanted.
After her last pregnancy, Natalie wanted just one more baby.
Kamrava then implanted twelve embryos inside her, instead of the usual two.
He was subsequently stripped of his medical license.
With this jaw-dropping feat under her belt, its no surprise people gravitated toward her story.
And, just like any other public figure, Natalie was subject to the Internets scrutiny.
Readers were curious, and sometimes hatefully so, about how she would support her children.
Wouldtheybe the ones forced to pay on her behalf?

Sixteen years after her life changed, her film now offers a sneak peek into that grueling time.
Perspective has been something that I have honestly been aware of since I was a kid, she shared.
When I see something, I think about who is telling this story?
And why are they telling this story?
Or, what do they have to gain?
And thats exactly what many media headlines lacked back in 2009: perspective.
Why did she make this choice, and what led her to do this?
At the very end of August 2024, Brianne was brought on to the project.
She had approximately three weeks of preparation before shooting began in mid-September.
Within 16 days, all of the filming was completed.
[Kristen] did a fantastic job, she recalled.
Shed really done her homework in a very, very short period of time.
And then going forward, well look at however women are portrayed and go: I wonder why.
Who is that benefitting?
What might be the other perspectives here that arent being shared and why?
She concluded, If women can support women, I think the world would be a better place.
If everyone could, quite honestly.
One things for certain: Natalie Sulemans story is unforgettable
