A Womb Transplant Mum to Give Birth Again


 
One of the first women to receive a womb transplant is expecting a second child, a medical conference has heard.

Prof Mats Brannstrom, who pioneered the fertility surgery in 2014, made the announcement at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' annual meeting in Birmingham.

UK doctors have already been given permission to carry out Britain's first 10 womb transplants.
They plan to transplant wombs that have come from dying donors.

The donors will be brain dead but their hearts will still be beating. According to bbc news
In comparison, most of the nine women treated by Prof Brannstrom's clinic in Sweden had their wombs donated to them by their own mothers.
