LOS ANGELES - No more babies for the OctoMom!
Nadya Suleman is having half her uterus removed this weekend and says her child-birthin' days are done.
And after 14 kids, some may say that's a good thing - especially after she almost dropped one of her octuplets at the park.
Suleman said doctors are requiring her to have the operation after they found benign fibroids growing in her uterus. The procedure makes it near-impossible to ever get pregnant again.
"They're worried there could be, like, pre-cancerous cells. So I have to remove half of the uterus," the 33-year-old told RadarOnline.com.
"I'm terrified," she said. "I'm really, really, really nervous. And I have to do a will. I have to get a will done just in case."
Suleman declined to name the couple she's chosen to take her 14 kids if anything goes wrong, but it doesn't sound like it's her flabbergasted parents.
"A Christian couple," she said. "They're really, really trustworthy. They're amazing people."
Suleman will spend up to a week in hospital recovering.
The operation will come just days after a media outing to the park turned into a bloopers reel when Suleman nearly dropped one of the babies on a picnic blanket while juggling another infant in her arms.
Luckily she managed to tighten her grip with her blue-tipped manicured hands as the baby's head pitched toward the ground.
Her pained expression made it clear the episode on Wednesday was an accident.
The single, unemployed mother has been under a media microscope since giving birth to octuplets on Jan. 26. She already had six other children, ages 2 to 7.
Lawyer Gloria Allred filed a court petition Monday asking a judge to appoint an outside legal guardian to look after the babies' financial interests as Suleman explores TV and book deals.
Police and child welfare officials also visited her house recently to investigate an allegation of neglect but took no immediate action.
Suleman told RadarOnline that one of her sons had a black eye from falling and a bite mark on his back from a sibling.
"I'm never having any more kids," Suleman declared.
