<p>"A Spanish woman believed to have become the world’s oldest new mother when she gave birth at age 66 has died, leaving behind twin toddlers, newspapers reported Tuesday.</p>

<p>Maria del Carmen Bousada, who reportedly died Saturday at age 69, gave birth in December 2006 as a single mother after getting in vitro fertilization treatment.</p>

<p>She told an interviewer she lied to a California fertility clinic about her age, and maintained that because her mother had lived to be 101, she had a good chance of living long enough to raise a child…</p>

<p>There was no word on who would raise the children, named Pau and Christian. Bousada had once said she would look for a younger man to help her raise them."</p>

<p>Ahh yes. Nature’s little reminder why she wants us to have children while (relatively) young.</p>

<p>It would certainly kill me to have twin toddlers now.</p>
