Angelina Jolie conceived twins using IVF, claims source
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reportedly used fertility treatments to conceive their newborn twins, Knox and Vivienne.
Angelina gave birth to the boy and girl at a hospital in Nice, France earlier in the month, undergoing a Caesarian section to ensure the safety of both her and the children.
An inside source told Us Weekly that Angelina also wanted to minimise the difficulty going into the pregnancy: “They conceived through in vitro fertilization. They both desperately wanted more babies soon.
“[With IVF, Angelina] wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant. She could just knock it out.”
The couple, who now have six children, have previously said they’d like to continue having children. Last year, Angelina said the specific number of children “fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14. We kind of feel like, damn it, we’re up for the challenge.
“[But] if we’re going to have [that many] kids, we’d like to raise them while we’re young.”

six children is WAY more than enough. every couple should only have one child. in my world having 2 or more children would be punishable by a lifetime prison sentence (although that would have made me nonexistent)

She has Brad Pitt and has IVF? There’s something fundamentally very wrong with that…
IVF, Caesarean - it’s all so controlling and manufactured. These stars get what they want, when they want it. They’re like spoiled children.

Who are any of you to say that they have enough children or how they conceive them? They have the means and obviously the love to raise them. The world can benefit from children raised in a loving home. At least they want their babies..and if they want to adopt then all the power to them..once less unfortunate child in the world. I am not a star crazed person but I do have respect for those that have the power to better the world and unselfishly do so. Many of us could not raise 6 children..I myself could not. Anyone willing to better the world has my love and support. Kudos to them!!!

I just don’t get it with all these clebrities and their twin births these days…does nobody do it the natural way anymore??? Now I know it doesn’t relate to Angelina and Brad, but the ones who decided to put their careers first and then have their first child at age 40 or over are selfish. First, their risks are doubled and then the kid has to deal with everybody thinking that their parents are their grandparents for the the rest of their lives. I just think that some people take it too far with IVF procedures. If it isn’t meant to happen, then it isn’t meant to happen..adopt.
