One of Julia Roberts' babies had been placed in intensive care as a result of respiratory problems, but has now been discharged.

Her daughter Hazel Patricia had apparently been placed in intensive care in a Los Angeles hospital admist rumours of a respiratory problem. Complications were unsurprising given that the twins were born five weeks prematurely. Hazel weighed a meagre 4lb 5oz at birth.

Her twin Phinnaeus Walter fared better than his sister - he was born heavier and seems to be free of any complications despite his prematurity.

Roberts and husband Danny Moder were said to be keeping a vigil by their daughter's bedside, but now the parents and babies are free to go home.

IMDB quotes an insider as saying: "Doctors tried to reassure Julia that the chances are good Hazel will be fine and there should be no long-term complications."
