Cline Dion in hospital

18th October 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Cline Dion has checked into a Florida hospital on doctors orders ahead of the birth of her twins.

The Canadian singer and her husband Ren Anglil already have nine-year-old son Ren-Charles together, and Cline is currently pregnant with two boys. The couple suffered many setbacks while trying to have another baby, with the new arrivals conceived during their sixth in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) attempt.

Last week, the couple were forced to deny reports Cline had already scheduled a date to have a caesarean section. The singers representative insisted in a statement all they cared about was the health of the babies, adding Cline was working with medical professionals to prolong the pregnancy for as long as possible.

Ms. Cline Dion has been admitted to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida for observation at the recommendation of her doctors, a statement released by hospital staff said. She has been admitted to prevent the early delivery of her babies, which is the standard of care for any patient with twin pregnancy in this clinical setting.

The release added the 42-year-olds hospitalisation is a preventative measure done to ensure the patient can be in close contact with their doctors and clinical resources, leading up to their birth, according to People magazine.

The statement reiterated that no delivery date has been set. It also dismissed reports Cline has asked for special care and attention from the facility.

She has not requested or selected any particular staff or accommodations not available to other patients. The patient is being treated as any other OB patient who comes to St. Marys Medical Center, the statement read. Although the family did not ask us to do so, the hospital has chosen to enhance our security efforts during this time for the convenience and safety of all our patients and their families within this same area of our facility.
