Grace Davidson, a 36-year-old British woman born without a womb due to Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, has become the first in the UK to give birth after a womb transplant, The Guardian reports.

Her sister, Amy Purdie, donated her uterus in an 18-hour transplant surgery performed in Oxford in 2023.

Following the transplant, Grace underwent IVF treatment, resulting in the birth of her daughter, Amy Isabel, via planned Caesarean section on February 27, 2025, at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in London.

This landmark achievement offers hope to thousands of women in the UK facing similar infertility challenges.

The transplant and subsequent birth were facilitated by the charity Womb Transplant UK, with the surgical team led by Professor Richard Smith and surgeon Isabel Quiroga.

While womb transplants are not yet funded by the NHS due to their experimental nature, this success may pave the way for broader application in the future.
