Womb Transplant Woman Gives Birth In Medical First

A Swedish woman has become the first in the world to give birth after a womb transplant. The 36 year-old mother, who was born without a uterus, received a donated womb from a friend in her 60s.

The British medical journal The Lancet says the newborn was delivered by caesarean section in the 31st week of pregnancy. He weighed 3.9 pounds — normal for that stage of pregnancy - and both mother and child are now at home doing well.
