A 65-year-old German woman, who is already a mother of 13 children, has
given birth to quadruplets after undergoing an artificial insemination
procedure in Ukraine, RTL television reported early on Saturday.
The three boys and one girl were born premature at 26 weeks in a Berlin hospital but have "good chances of surviving," the report said.
The mother, Berlin resident Annegret Raunigk, is an English and Russian teacher close to retirement and in addition to her 13 children is grandmother to seven. She became pregnant after undergoing several artificial insemination procedures in Ukraine. According to her, she went in search of sperm
and egg donors when her youngest of 13 children told her: 'I want to have a little brother or sister.'
The schoolteacher from Spandau, Berlin, is set to become the world's oldest woman to give birth to quads.
