Ohio Woman Pregnant With Other Couple's Baby After IVF mix-up

A pregnant Ohio has spoken of her pain at having to give up the IVF baby she was mistakenly impregnated with. Mother-of-three Carolyn Savage was trying to have a fourth child through IVF when doctors implanted her with another couple’s embryo. The nightmare mix-up means that eight-month pregnant Carolyn, and husband Sean, have to hand over the baby boy when she gives birth in just two weeks.
The religious couple from Sylvania, Ohio, decided early on that they would not terminate the pregnancy but hand back the baby, which is not genetically theirs.
Carolyn and Sean turned to IVF after ten years of trying and had their third child, daughter Mary Kate, 18-months ago.
Carolyn was implanted with remaining embryos back in February in an attempt to have a fourth child.
