Baby girl first born in UK from womb transplant

A baby girl has become the first in the UK to be born from a womb transplant, after her aunt donated her uterus to her mother.

Amy was born on February 27 at the Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital in London, two years after her mother, Grace Davidson, received a womb transplant from her older sister.

Davidson suffers from a rare condition known as Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome and was born without a functioning womb.

She became the first woman in the UK to receive a womb transplant, which was donated by her sister.
