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.

| With her children and Grand children |
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.
