The first baby born in the UK to a woman with a transplanted womb

• Grace Davidson, 36, has given birth to baby Amy Isabel, the first child in the UK born after a womb transplant, in a historic medical achievement.
• Mrs. Davidson received the womb from her older sister, Amy Purdie, 42, who selflessly donated it after Mrs. Davidson was diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH), a condition where women are born without a functioning uterus.
• Baby Amy Isabel was born via planned C-section on February 27 at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital in London, weighing 4.5lb, and both mother and baby are doing well.
• The successful birth marks a significant advancement in reproductive medicine, offering hope to thousands of women with uterine factor infertility, and involved fertility treatments and a womb transplant in February 2023.
• The lead surgeons, Professor Richard Smith and Isabel Quiroga, expressed their joy and astonishment at the successful outcome, with the parents naming their daughter in honour of Miss Quiroga; womb Transplant UK has performed four transplants and is fundraising for more.
