June 4 2008, Published 12:00 p.m. ET
Amid swirling reports that Angelina Jolie is on bed-rest and close to giving birth — so close, that the French media jumped the gun and announced the actress had already delivered her twins last week — the heavily pregnant actress has begun telling friends that she hopes to give birth naturally to her twin girls.
"She prepared for a natural child birth for Shiloh and was very disappointed when her doctors told her she would have to undergo a Cesarean section," a source close to Angelina tells OK!. "She is praying everything will go her way and she will be able to enjoy a natural birth."

The most important thing to Angie, however is to protect her babies. The actress and her partner Brad Pitt are taking every pre-caution to ensure a safe delivery, reserving a private birthing room at Le Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace in Monaco, and hiring a midwife and two French nurses who are currently staying with her at Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's compound in St.-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
"Whether Angelina experiences natural childbirth or has a scheduled C-section, she will not go to full term with the twins," the source says. "She's been told to expect the babies early, and that was the reason she and Brad went early to France — so they would be ready for their babies whenever they decide to make their appearance."
