My wife had IUD for one year. When she went back to the clinic for yearly check up, she found out that she is pregnant. She did Ultrasound and her IUD is in her womb with 8 weeks old baby.
Is there any known issues for this kind of case?
Any help or advice is needed.

Thanks in advance

What if I become pregnant while I am using an IUD?
Very few women become pregnant while using an IUD. If you do become pregnant there is a small increased risk of having an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy develops outside the womb, usually in a fallopian tube. If you think you might be pregnant or have a sudden or unusual pain in your lower abdomen, seek medical advice as soon as possible. This might be the warning sign of an ectopic pregnancy.

If you are pregnant the IUD should be removed as soon as possible, whether or not you wish to continue with the pregnancy. If you want to continue the pregnancy, removing the IUD can increase the risk of miscarriage. This risk is less than if the IUD remains in the womb. If you do not have a miscarriage, the IUD will not harm the baby.

I became pregnant using an IUD, I had an abortion, and immediately had another IUD inserted.

Sometimes it is a "FLUKE", it just happens, but she has options available to her.

The previous poster gave a site with great info.
