Jolie to debut twins on Tuesday?

The French seem like they're right up their with Americans in the Angelina Jolie pregnancy fervor. And rightly so--this is the most publicity France has received in a long time! Plus it helps us forget about that whole 'Freedom Fries' thing.
According to French reports, the Oscar-winning actress is set to give birth to her twins next Tuesday. If the source is to be trusted, Ange is mega-pregnant, tired of the hospital food and just wants those babies OUT OF THERE. I know how that feels--you recall the final stages of your pregnancy, yes? Happy to be with child, ready to experience the miracle of life...ready to get your body back!
Apparently Jolie is keen to give birth asap, but the medical staff feel it would be better to induce her on Tuesday. She wanted to go forward on Monday, but that's Bastille Day! Normally, in New York City anyway, inductions are all done on a Friday. Not sure why that is but it does give the new mom (and her family) the weekend to recover. I still think she's going to have a C-section like so many other Hollywood stars, that she's not reached the end of her last trimester--all in order to avoid losing her A-list body! Only time will tell--or, at least, Tuesday will.

She actually had to have a C-section with Shiloh because she was turned wrong. She will more than likely have another with this one because it would probably be very risky to have twins naturally after having a C-section the first time around...I'd hardly call that "trying to avoid losing her A-list body"@@

Please bear in mind that twins are considered full term by 37 weeks and that many are delivered between 36 and 37 weeks to lower the risk of stillbirth, which rises significantly after the 37th week.

Twins are almost always delivered via c-section these days, as very, very few doctors have either the experience or the willingness to handle a vaginal birth of multiples. Compounding that is that some doctors and hospitals do not encourage or permit VBACs. I am glad, however, to hear Jolie is scheduled for an induction, even if she is going to end up with a c-section. The process of labor helps prepare babies for extra-uterine life, so labor is valuable even if vaginal delivery is not the goal. Sounds like she's in good hands.
