Woman’s Day reveals all the details about the arrival of Brad and Ange’s twins.
When reports spread on May 30 that Angelina Jolie had given birth to twins — reports the couple have strenuously denied — she wasn’t annoyed. In fact, she and partner Brad Pitt laughed about the growing confusion, says an insider.
“Brad and Ange are doing everything they can to keep the birth of the twins top secret,” says the source.
But while an early birth has been discounted, the actress has been under close medical observation. US magazine In Touch reports that after collapsing on May 24 an exhausted Angelina was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia — a condition characterised by high-blood pressure and the presence of protein in the urine, which needs to be monitored closely.
“It’s very common for women who are expecting twins to experience pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes,” explains obstetrician Dr Christiane Northrup.
The low-down
Doctors are believed to have advised extended bed rest, and Ange hasn’t been seen in public for days.
This week’s Woman’s Day exclusively sets the record straight about the reports and rumours surrounding the birth of the twins…
