In 2009, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) gave birth to Faith Newman, her daughter with Nick Newman, on Young and Restless. The circumstances of her birth were far from idyllic. She was institutionalized at the time, and after she delivered her baby, she lost consciousness. Devious Adam Newman then swooped in and kidnapped the tot, who was presented to Ashley Abbott as Ashley's newborn. Sharon was devastated when she was told that her baby had died. Ultimately, the baby-swapping scandal was exposed and Sharon was reunited with her daughter.

In 2019, General Hospital's Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Corinthos) welcomed their daughter, Donna Corinthos. Carly's pregnancy had been a risky one, and in utero genetic testing had revealed that Donna had developed fluid around her spine. Later, they learned that their unborn child had Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele and would require surgery immediately after her birth. Carly and Sonny braced themselves for a birth via C-section, which took place after Carly went into premature labor. After the baby arrived, Carly and Sonny learned that Donna's condition was less severe than the doctors had anticipated, although she still underwent surgery, which she made it through with flying colors.
