The woman has 7 grandchildren, but She stated that she chose to become pregnant again because her nine-year-old daughter wanted a little brother: the amazing story of one 65-year-old teacher.
For various reasons, more and more women are choosing to have babies later in life. It’s a complicated decision due to the implications for both the mother and the child.
This 65-year-old mother, in particular, wanted to fulfill the wish of her nine-year-old daughter, who wanted a brother to play with. And then, a big surprise!
Annegrette Raunigk, a 65-year-old German teacher, already has thirteen children ranging from nine to forty-four years old, from five different men.
She stated that she chose to become pregnant again because her nine-year-old daughter wanted a little brother. The woman also has 7 grandchildren.
This action has sparked critical reactions from specialists who argued that the grandmother’s body was not capable of carrying a child, and it has sparked a lively debate in Germany, where many people have criticized the lack of responsibility on the mother’s part.
Despite this, Annegrette justified her choice by stating that everyone has the right to decide when and how they want to have children. She was therefore forced to travel abroad to find a donor and undergo artificial insemination, a practice prohibited in Germany.
By carrying her pregnancy to term, Annegrette became the oldest mother not to give birth to one, but four children—three boys and one girl.
This birth makes her the oldest woman in the world to give birth to quadruplets. In France, the “record” is held by a 62-year-old woman who gave birth in 2001, while the world “record” is held by an Indian woman who gave birth to twins in 2008 at the age of seventy.
