Remember the 65 year old German woman who was
pregnant with quadruplets? Well, she has given birth to
the quadruplets, two and a half months prematurely
through caesarean and all 4 babies have a 'good chance
of surviving'.
German woman Annegret Raunigk who already had 13
children has become the oldest woman alive to give
birth to quadruplets. She had 13 children aged 9 to 44
by five different fathers and 7 grandchildren.
She made the decision to get pregnant again because
her youngest child wanted a younger sibling.
She gave birth to 3 boys named, Dries, Bence and Fjonn,
and 1 girl named Neeta, born by caesarian on Tuesday
after 26 weeks and they weigh between one pound and
seven ounces and two pounds and two ounces.
Annegret who got pregnant as a result of artificial
insemination using a donated egg and sperm in Ukraine,
a procedure which is illegal in Germany, said she is glad
she didn't listen to the Doctors when they suggested
she abort some of the babies due to health concerns
German television station RTL said in a statement that
the 4 newborns stood a 'strong chance of survival' but
possible complications couldn't yet be ruled out
because the babies are so premature.
