Women give birth using mothers’ wombs

Daughters receive transplanted wombs to help achieve pregnancy

The first two women to give birth after womb transplants from their own mothers have given hope to tens of thousands of women living with the “heartbreaking knowledge” they cannot become pregnant, a leading doctor has said.

The babies — both boys — were born a month ago in Sweden after their grandmothers underwent hysterectomies to allow their daughters the chance to experience motherhood.
