Whether you’re pregnant now or you were hoping to be in the next few months, this might feel like an overwhelming time, living through the current coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic.

It’s true that there’s limited information and published literature about exactly how susceptible pregnant women are to COVID-19, and the severity of infection.

IVF mixup: Mother gives birth to other couples' babies

Read full article: IVF mixup: Mother gives birth to other couples' babies

CNN/Salk InstituteNEW YORK - A couple from New York is suing a fertility clinic after a woman gave birth to other couples' babies because of an IVF mixup, according to a federal lawsuit filed in US District Court. The mother, who is Asian, gave birth to two non-Asian babies, and each child was a genetic match to a different couple that was also a client at the fertility clinic, the lawsuit states. CHA Fertility claimed on its website to be one of the "premier fertility treatment networks in the world," the lawsuit states. That "confused" the couple because there was only one male euploid embryo, which was not transferred to her, the lawsuit states. One even said that when his wife was pregnant, they were told they were going to have a boy but ultimately had a girl, the lawsuit states.
