“It’s not only a great thing to have a big family, but most importantly, it’s important to raise your kids properly,” she wrote in an email to today.com.
Hildebrant told German publication Bild that she had never used birth control pills and had not smoked or drank alcohol.
“I eat healthy, swim for an hour regularly and walk for two hours,” she said.
Meanwhile, Wolfgang Henrich, director of obstetrics and gynecology at the charity hospital, told Bild that Hildebrant's physical health and psychological perseverance allowed her to handle her pregnancy well and confirmed that her childbirth was malfunctioning.
Hildebrant and her husband recently bought a home in Berlin where they plan to provide their own bedrooms for eight children. She told Bild that renovations are currently underway.
“For this, there is still a need to install gypsum walls, which we have not done yet,” she added.
Johns Hopkins University says Hildebrant’s age poses several risks in pregnancy, including miscarriage, fetal chromosomal abnormalities, gestational diabetes, premature birth, stillbirth, congenital disease, high blood pressure and low birth weight.
