Jennifer Lopez has checked into hospital to give birth, it has been claimed. The Do It Well singer - who is expecting twins with husband Marc Anthony - reportedly arrived at Long Island's North Shore University Hospital Tuesday.

A patient at the hospital said: "During my visit, the staff were extremely excited and kept exclaiming, 'J.Lo is here!'"

"The 38-year-old star is set to welcome the babies in a private suite which staff members were banned from entering for two weeks before her arrival.

Code Pink

The suite comes fully furnished with privacy screens, a brown leather couch, wooden floors and two giant plasma TVs. Jennifer will reportedly wear a pastel-coloured couture hospital gown and coordinating robe which was specially designed for her.

Staff at the hospital have also been undertaking regular 'Code Pink' drills to ensure they know exactly what to do if someone attempts to kidnap the Lopez twins. Jennifer and Marc are believed to have chosen the names Max and Emme for the boy and girl twins. A representative for Jennifer could not be reached for comment.
