Angelina Jolie Hiding The Twins As They Are Underwieght

Nearly everywhere Angie and Brad have gone, their four oldest children -- Maddox, Pax and the boys' sisters, Zahara, 4, and Shiloh, 2 -- have been seen with them. Noticeably absent, however, have been the couple's two youngest kids, twins Vivienne and Knox, who'll turn 1 on July 12. In fact, the twins have been spotted in public only once since January: when they were rushed through an airport near Tokyo while being closely guarded by their parents. Since then, they've remained in hiding -- leading to speculation that something could be wrong.

Now Life & Style has learned that Brad and Angelina have been seriously concerned about the twins' health. The babies are suffering from serious digestive problems, says an insider close to the family. "They're both hypersensitive," the insider tells Life & Style. "Knox has trouble holding down his food. He spits up nearly every meal." Vivienne, meanwhile, has food and environmental allergies, explains the insider: "Right now, she's on a lactose and gluten-free diet, and she's still underweight."

Angelina, 34, and Brad, 45, have been so worried, they've had the twins undergo genetic testing and have been adamant about keeping them behind closed doors. In truth, the real reason Brad and Angelina have been reluctant to take the twins out has to do with their own fears, says the insider. "Because of their delicate state, Knox and Vivienne need to be kept away from anything they could possibly be allergic to," the insider explains. "That's a lot easier to do when they're home and in a controlled environment."

Heroin Use and Pregnancy

The use of heroin during pregnancy is associated with a number of negative consequences for the baby, including low birth weight, heroin withdrawal symptoms after birth, and delayed effects of the drug use seen between the ages 4 months and 6 months. Developmental delays physically and mentally are a possible concern as well.

Environmental factors such as the fact that few women who are addicted to heroin get prenatal care and the risk of using dirty and infected needles only increases the number of possible issues that both you and your baby could face as a result of heroin addiction.

** If you are pregnant and addicted to or using heroin, you are considered a "high risk" pregnancy and you should seek immediate medical attention.**

At The Canyon, we can treat you for heroin addiction while you are pregnant and help you lower the possibility that your addiction will hurt your child. You can't change the past, but you do have control over your decisions now and in the future.
Heroin Use and Pregnancy: Medication

Both taking heroin and heroin withdrawal can have a negative impact on your baby, and withdrawal effects are considered to be more dangerous because they can result in miscarriage. Methadone and buprenorphine may be options for mothers who want to get heroin addiction treatment during pregnancy:

* Methadone maintenance allows pregnant mothers the option of delaying withdrawal without continuing the risks associated with heroin addiction and use (i.e., using needles, varied degree of impurity of the drug, possible overdose). However, the baby will be born addicted to methadone and will be treated for withdrawal when she is born.
* The effectiveness of buprenorphine and its effects on pregnant women and their babies has not yet been researched, but it is available
