Little did Marcia Cross know that her pregnancy with twins was a blessing in disguise. Now it's the best thing she could have hoped for!
Marcia Cross was "terrified" when she discovered she was having twins.
The "Desperate Housewives" actress - who gave birth to twin daughters earlier this year - was shocked when an ultrasound scan revealed she was expecting two babies.
Marcia told Hello magazine: "I was absolutely terrified! Now if course, it's just like I won the lottery because I have two daughters and it's really just fantastic."
Eden and Savannah were born at a Los Angeles hospital on February 20.
Marcia, 45, openly admitted she and her husband Tom Mahoney used IVF treatment to help them conceive.
She added: "Many women delay motherhood these days. I feel very fortunate to have become a mother in my 40s. That's why I don't want to put out any fantasy that you can just do that forever and then just pop out twins."
Marcia - who married Tom last year - was put on bed rest a month before the birth as a precuationary measure, due to the strain of the extra weight she was carrying.
The flame-haired actress continued to shoot scenes for "Desperate Housewives" after producers set up cameras in her home and filmed there for two days.
