A few years ago, a resident of Berlin became a mother again. The woman in labor at that time was 65 years old, she had 13 cubs, and in her uterus, after artificial insemination, 4 fetuses developed simultaneously.
Annegret Raunigk, a 65-year-old Berliner, has set something of a world record: not a single woman her age has ever managed to give birth to quadruplets, but Annegret did, going through many obstacles.
“Thanks to the little ones, I always felt young,” said the unusual pregnant woman.
After an ultrasound, Annagret was found to be pregnant with quadruplets. The doctors suggested that she get rid of two, but Annagret refused.
Observing the whole pregnancy which, despite her age, took place without any complications, Annagret quickly gave birth very prematurely to four little premature babies, two of whom required intensive care.
All the little ones have recovered after several months in the incubator, to the delight of their mother.
The public was outraged by this act – after all, not only did the woman put herself at such risk, but her little ones did too.
Today, Annegret is the mother of 17 children, the oldest of whom is 46, and the grandmother of seven grandchildren.
