The hospital announced Tuesday that Jolie had checked into its Santa Maria maternity clinic to be kept under doctors' watch and rest before she gives birth.

A hospital spokeswoman said the births were "not for right away," but spokeswoman Nadine Bauer said Jolie would almost certainly stay in the clinic until then.

"Ms. Jolie came to the hospital (Monday) night as part of a pre-planned rest period, before she gives birth," Bauer told In Touch Weekly magazine. "The visit has been planned for a long time, there are no complications. She is just resting."

One U.S. celebrity magazine has said Jolie is pregnant with two girls while a rival publication had it as a boy and girl. A British tabloid published the supposed names of the yet-to-be-born children.

Nice Matin, the local newspaper, reported that Jolie has the best room in the hospital, on the fifth floor, with an "unobstructed view" over the Bay of Angels. It said she arrived by helicopter, landing Sunday afternoon on the hospital's roof. The newspaper said the actress reserved four rooms on the maternity ward, with a bodyguard keeping watch
