A 65-year-old woman from Berlin has become the oldest mother in the world to give birth to quadruplets. 
Annegret Raunigk, who is retired, attracted everyone's attention when she gave birth to 4 children at once. 
 But beyond the wonder related to her age, another fact makes her story even more interesting. 
Annegret has 13 other children, with five different fathers.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
