When Annegret Raunigk became the oldest mother in Germany in 2005, she became known all over the world. She had a little girl when she was 55 years old.
Annegret, who was a teacher, quit her job that same year. She had 13 kids with five different men.
But the controversial mother is back in the news because she is pregnant again—this time at age 65.
People said that her pregnancy wasn’t to blame, and doctors and politicians told other people not to do or try what she did.
But Annegret didn’t back down and insisted on staying pregnant.
And the doctors who did her ultrasound tests were surprised by more than just her age.
Annegret Raunigk is a teacher who has 17 children and 7 grandchildren.
A little over 10 years ago, when she had a baby girl at age 55, she became famous. Her pregnancy made a lot of people in Germany talk about it.
Annegret Raunigk told her critics that she knows how to care for herself while she is pregnant.
She also thinks that everyone should be free to live their own lives and have full control over their bodies.
Annegret made headlines in 2015 when she said she was going to have quadruplets at age 65.
When the doctors saw the ultrasound, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. But Annegret was the one who was most shocked.
She never thought in her wildest dreams that she would be pregnant with four babies.
The single mother gave birth in a hospital in Berlin after having IVF treatments in Ukraine. Her doctor said that the pregnancy was “strangely easy.”
On the 26th week, the babies, three boys and a girl, were born by caesarean section.
The pregnancy couldn’t go on past the 26th week because Annegret’s uterus couldn’t handle the pressure, according to the doctors.
Even though there were some problems in the first few months after birth, all four kids and their mother were able to go home after a short time being watched.
Everyone is healthy and happy now that the babies have fully recovered.
Annegret could go home to her 10-year-old daughter, Leila, who was happy to see her younger brothers and sisters.
Annegret has 17 children, the oldest of whom is 46 years old.
Annegret made it clear that her daughter Leila was the one who came up with the idea for the historical pregnancy when she talked about it.
The Daily Mail says that Leila said, “I wanted a brother or sister!”
Many people have asked if it’s a good idea to have a baby at such an old age.
Annegret said, “If you talk about other people, you must not have a very interesting life, so it doesn’t bother me.” Her previous children gave Annegret seven grandchildren. Some of them are a lot older than some of her kids.
Annegret stays calm, which is pretty amazing for a woman who is about to turn 70 and has a daughter in high school and four babies.
“Really, I’m not worried. I take care of myself and am in good shape. “I have enough experience with everything else, so it’s not something new to me,” she said.
Annegret wants to move from Berlin to the small town of Hoxter, where she has bought a much bigger house.
Who has the right to say that this family is doing something wrong? The most important thing is that kids feel good and safe when they’re older.
