Julia Roberts was admitted to a hospital on Saturday evening when she complained of early contractions. Roberts is expecting twins, one girl and one boy, in January, her first children.

A source told People magazine that the contractions eventually stopped and she remained in the hospital for further observation. Her doctors have ordered the busy actress to maintain bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy.

Julia can next be seen in Closer and Ocean's Twelve.
