BERLIN: Doctors say quadruplets born prematurely a month ago to a 65-year-old woman in Germany are doing well and gaining weight but one remains on a respirator. Berlin's Charite hospital said on Wednesday the four babies — a girl named Neeta and three boys named Dries, Bence and Fjonn — have put on 30 to 50 per cent of their birth weights since they were delivered by caesarean section on May 19. Annegret Raunigk is believed to be the oldest woman to have ever delivered quadruplets. She has 13 other children aged 9 to 44 from five fathers.
