Angelina Jolie is in a French hospital to give birth. But who will liberate the twins?

Local ob-gyn Michel Sussmann is the doctor in charge of her pending delivery at Lenval hospital in Nice, the facility's spokeswoman, Nadine Bauer, tells E! News exclusively.

Bauer says Sussmann will be making a statement following the birth, but there is no word yet on when Jolie's twins are due to arrive.

Despite some media reports that Jolie's stateside doctor, Jason Rothbart, would be flying to France to tend to the delivery, he remains at his Los Angeles-area office seeing patients.

Rothbart, who also handled the births of Tori Spelling’s two children, delivered Jolie and Brad Pitt’s first biological child, Shiloh Nouvel, on May 27, 2006, at Cottage Medi-Clinic hospital in Namibia.
