#5�-�Annegret Raunigk, aged 65 years

At the age that women in Australia are starting to think about retirement, Annegret Raunigk decided she wanted to have herself a set of quadruplets!

The babies were born around 14-weeks early in May of 2015, bringing Annegret’s brood to a whopping 17 children. Annegret says she decided to have more children when her youngest child at the time, a 9-year-old, asked her mother for a little brother or sister. Now it looks like she’ll have a few to choose from.
