Desperate Housewives actress Marcia Cross, who is expecting twins in April with her stockbroker hubby, Tom Mahoney, has been put on bed rest by her doctor, her spokeswoman informed the Associated Press on Wednesday.

"This is a precautionary measure only," publicist Heidi Slan said in an e-mail to the AP.

Cross plays the uptight housefrau Bree Van De Kamp on the hit ABC series.

With the expectant actress now confined to her home, producers of the hit ABC series have decided to move production to Cross' L.A. home for two days to shoot the last two episodes, according to TV Guide. They will be sending in crews to transform the lower level of her house into a stage set matching the interior of Bree's extremely tidy home.

The show's producers did not write Cross' pregnancy into the show's plot, and the actress was scheduled to film only two more shows after the Feb. 11 episode since it was becoming too difficult to hide her pregnancy.

Cross, 44, and Mahoney married in June 2006 after a two-year courtship.

Cross isn't the first famous actress ordered to bed. In 2004, Julia Roberts spent the last several weeks of her pregnancy on bed rest before giving birth to twins Phinnaeus Walter and Hazel Patricia, now 2.
