The network,
which had covered the pregnancy, said Annegret Raunigk already
had 13 children and seven grandchildren. The announcement of her
pregnancy last month had sparked a public debate in Germany
about its merits.
Raunigk, an English and Russian teacher in Berlin, had received
fertility treatment in Ukraine and is the oldest woman in the
world to have had quadruplets, RTL said, although other women of
her age and older have given birth.
The four babies, born by Caesarean section on May 19, weighed
between 655 grams an 960 grams.
