A 65-year-old German grandmother is pregnant with four babies.

Ms Raunigk already has 13 children and seven grandchildren. But her youngest daughter, nine years old, wanted to have a little brother or sister, so she decided to try for another child.

She will give birth to her babies in the summer. And this would make her the world's oldest mother of four babies. Ms Raunigk said. "I'm not afraid, that's not new for me."

The biggest risk for the babies is coming to the world too early and doctors are doing all they can to prevent that.

Ms Raunigk made headlines 10 years ago when she gave birth to her 13th child, Lelia, at the age of 55.
