'Switched before Birth': 5 things you need to know about Lifetime movie
Lifetime's latest movie 'Switched before Birth' throws light on the lives of two women. One of them is Olivia Crawford, who struggles with several miscarriages and IVF treatments that have backfired. She is on the moon when she finally hears some good news about her pregnancy. During one of her appointments, she meets and instantly hits it off with Anna Ramirez (Justina Machado), who is facing similar problems. As Anna too becomes pregnant after constant struggles, she bonds with Olivia as the two celebrate their happy news.
Having said that, what was supposed to be a new and lifelong friendship doesn't last long. When Olivia gives birth, they discover that the two babies are not twins - one of them is biologically Anna and Gabe's, implanted into Olivia by mistake. The two women cannot meet each other's eyes - while Olivia aims to keep the baby she carried and birthed, Anna is willing to fight for a son that's her own.
