*Meirow et al. [14]: in total, 20 women have had transplantations performed and given birth to 10 children and 2 ongoing pregnancies. This is on all the women Meirow and co-workers have described, both from the publication mentioned in Donnez and Dolmans’ table [7] and Meirow and co-workers’ last publication [14]. It is not possible to subdivide the 20 women according to [7] and the new cases mentioned in [15]. Therefore, they do not figure in this table
**Additionally one ongoing Danish pregnancy, which had not been registered at the time of publication. This woman has now given birth and is described as the second child of case 1 in this publication
***Van der Ven and co-workers [16] have evaluated 74 women, and within these 74 women are the 20 women Dittrich and co-workers [11] have already published. Therefore, to avoid any duplicates, it is 54 new cases with 11 new births
