On this day, December 28, 1981, Elizabeth Jordan Carr became the first baby born via in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in the United States, and the 15th in the world. This groundbreaking event marked a major milestone in reproductive medicine and offered new hope to families facing infertility.

Fun Fact: The world’s first IVF baby, Louise Brown, was born in Manchester, England, in 1978.
