Description

On Monday April 7, 2025, the UK’s publication The Guardian wrote, “Surgeons are hailing an ‘astonishing’ medical breakthrough as a woman became the first in the UK to give birth after a womb transplant. Grace Davidson, 36, who was a teenager when diagnosed with a congenitally absent uterus, said she and her husband had been given ‘the greatest gift we could ever have asked for’. Grace’s sister donated her own womb during an eight-hour operation in 2023. Davidson said she felt shocked when she first held her daughter, who was born by planned NHS caesarean section on 27 February. She was first UK womb transplant recipient to give birth”. Since the first successful uterine transplant in 2011, there have been over 70 live births worldwide. These births have occurred following more than 100 uterine transplant procedures.
