LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- "Desperate Housewives" star Marcia Cross has given birth to twin girls -- the first children for the actress and her stockbroker husband Tom Mahoney, People magazine reported Wednesday. Publicists for the 44-year-old redhead told the magazine that the twins, named Eden and Savannah, were born at a Los Angeles hospital Tuesday and both mother and babies were doing well. Cross had been placed on bed rest by her doctors in January for the remainder of her pregnancy, forcing production of the ABC network hit TV show to move to her real-life Los Angeles living room. Cross plays the perfectionist Bree in "Desperate Housewives" and her expanding waistline had become harder to conceal during the last two episodes planned for her in the current season. Cross and Mahoney, 49, were married in June 2006.
Married 7.5 months ago, you say? ;-) -janelane, on track to be the first woman in my family to marry for reasons other than unplanned pregnancy |

Nice to hear its possible to have healthy children at that age. To hear some girls I know talk you'd think that after 35 all pregnancies result in multiheaded things with webbed feet. |

Actually, the risk of Down's syndrome and multiple births is so high after 40 that is prohibitively too risky IMO. At age 25, a woman has about a 1-in-1,250 chance of having a baby with Down syndrome; at age 30, a 1-in-1,000 chance; at age 35, a 1-in-400 chance; at age 40, a 1-in-100 chance; and at 45, a 1-in-30 chance.
