Emily’s birth a first for Britain

A WOMAN has become the first in Britain to give birth using her own frozen eggs.

Experts say the birth of Emily Perry three months ago gives hope to women who are worried about losing their chance of having a child through illnesses such as cancer.

But Dr Gillian Lockwood, whose team made the breakthrough, says: “The technology ... will work just as well for the Bridget Jones generation who want to freeze their eggs to keep their reproductive options open.”
