A
65-year-old German mother of 13 is getting ready to give birth again — this
time to quadruplets.
Annegret Raunigk, a Berlin schoolteacher who is
due soon to retire, is expected to give birth to the four babies in two months, German newspaper Bild reports.
She
already has children ranging in age from 9 to 44, from five fathers. This time,
Bild reports that donated eggs were fertilized and implanted at a clinic
outside Germany.
Raunigk
says she decided to become pregnant again because her 9-year-old daughter
wanted a younger sibling.

Medical
professionals have criticized her decision, but Raunigk says she is not
worried.
She is quoted as saying:
"They can see it how they want to, and I'll see it the way I think is
right."
