The heartwarming story of the first baby born in Britain as a result of a womb transplant recently made global headlines. Grace Davidson, 36, who has a rare condition, Mayer Rokitansky Küster Hauser Syndrome (MRKH), was born without a womb. 

However, medical advances allowed Davidson’s sister to donate her womb, and, two years later, she gave birth to a daughter, Amy Isabel.
