Jolie twins to arrive 'in weeks'

Actress Angelina Jolie's doctor has said her twins may take a few more weeks to arrive.

Dr Michel Sussmann said at a news conference that the 32-year-old was doing fine and would give birth "in the weeks to come."

Dr Sussmann stressed that the actress had checked into the hospital to be closely monitored, not because of any medical emergency.

Jolie checked into the Lenval Hospital in Nice, France, earlier this week.

She is expected to remain there until she gives birth.

Asked when the actress is expected to have her twins, Dr Sussmann replied: "I can't give you a date. Let's say the birth will happen in the weeks to come."

'Totally normal'

"Mrs Angelina Jolie and her husband, Brad Pitt, told me to tell you that she is doing absolutely fine," said the doctor, apparently unaware that the stars are not married.

"Her hospitalisation at this stage in her pregnancy is totally normal for a patient who had a Cesarean during her first pregnancy," he added.
