A 65-year-old German grandmother has given birth to quadruplets at a Berlin hospital, with the three boys and a girl born prematurely at 26 weeks being in good health and having a good chance of survival.
Annegret Raunigk already had 13 children and seven grandchildren and the announcement of her pregnancy sparked a public debate in Germany.
Raunigk, an English and Russian teacher, had received fertility treatment in Ukraine and is the oldest woman in the world to have had quads.
