After two weeks of bed rest, new mom Mariah Carey, 42, finally left UCLA Medical Center on Saturday. Joined by husband Nick Cannon, 30, and twins Moroccan Scott and Monroe (who were swaddled in blue and pink blankets), the happy family drove off in their Rolls Royce Phantom together.

"My wife wanted to make sure that when the babies came out, that they came out not only to a Mariah Carey song, but a live performance from Mariah Carey -- her Madison Square performance of 'Fantasy' -- so they came out to a round of applause," Cannon said in an appearance on The Gayle King Show last week.

Unfortunately for the first-time parents, not everything about Carey's two-week stay was as harmonious.
"Child Protective Services actually came to me while I was in the hallway and said that they were here to see me because there had been allegations that there was drug and alcohol use during the stay in the hospital," Cannon told CNN's Piers Morgan last week. "I was like, 'Well, how would that even be possible? How could the hospital even allow that?'"
"It all started when a nurse suggested to my wife that if you drink Guinness, the dark beer, the yeast improves breastfeeding," Cannon explained. "I don't know if someone heard that, but then they were saying my wife was drinking beer. People will do anything to try to conjure up a story."

11The twins r cute
both babies were born just over 5 pounds. so it's possible that they were losing weight anda baby has to be minumum 5 pounds to leave any hospital. Maybe they were losing weight. They were not premies. She was due right on time. Another thing. Maybe mariah wanted to be fully healed after her c section before she decided to go home. I know insurance reasons hospitals make you leave after so many days, but I'm sure Mariah paid a good amount of $ to stay there for the 2 weeks
them having kids especially twins is really going to change their relationship big time, kids sure do change your life good luck mariah and nick
Her babies weren't released so she stayed with them in the hospital, not that uncommon. I've known lots of women who stayed until their babies were released.
im pretty sure she is just like every other celeb mom!!!she had a "elective" c-section then had a tummy tuck right after and chose to "recover"in the hospital.Then we normal mommies feel bad about our bodies, what a shame :(
Why would a new mother needs to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks? She didn't have complications. She was probably afraid to go home and deal with this new life herself. It's not all about you anymore Mariah. It's time to grow up now.
Why is everybody saying these babies are premature? She was due in Late April, so how are they premature? That's not the reason she stayed in the hospital so long. Conceit? Maybe. Were the babies sick after birth? Perhaps. Is she being investigated by CPS? Also a possibility. Most healthy full term babies, twin or not, go home after 3 or at most 4 days in the hospital in the USA. Not saying it's right, that's just how it is.
Here in Canada if the baby needs to stay in the hospital than the mother can too cause she's the one that needs to feed the baby. That's probably why Mariah Carey stayed in the hospital.
Pretty sure if you have premature babies you have to stay in the hospital for a while to make sure they are okay. And even if she did stay just for the heck of it...who cares? She's Mariah Carey! She can do that! JEALOUS MUCH?! lol. I love MC!
Was it the twins getting a round of applause, or did Mariah need applause because she, gasp! gave birth?
Only this conceited twit stays in the hospital for TWO & A HALF WEEKS after having twins. Any other woman would suck it up and go home. I'll bet Mariah's room was at least 10,000 sq feet with tons of servants waiting on her every beck and call. She's so nauseating.
