She gave 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.
With her children and Grand children
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.
