Can cps take my newborn solely because my other child is in temp state custody?

I’m in Ohio, I’ve been working a case plan for over a year now to get my son back. There’s been a lot of bumps in the road with stable housing and such as I’m still pretty young but I have it all figured it now. My son was taken into temporary state custody in May of last year due to my own mental health issues which have since been resolved. I found myself pregnant again, expecting the arrival of new baby this week. I have stable housing, savings for when I’m not working, I’m currently single and have nothing bad going on in my life for the past year. I was told today that my newborn will be taken from me at the hospital and when asked under what grounds, my case worker told me that it is law/rule that since my son is in temporary state custody that is mandatory my newborn be taken too. She told me outright that there are zero other concerns, that we have resolved every concern they had in the beginning but I will not be able to have my newborn due to being in a case already. Is this true? I looked it up and saw that it’s supposedly not a thing but I figured I’d get on here to ask. They say that since both children are dependent that if one isn’t in my care then the other can’t be either. Even though I get almost daily unsupervised home visits and am nearing the end of my case. They have zero other concerns. Any advise? Also my attorney sucks
