Greatest gift a mum can give to her
daughter. Two women have given birth
using wombs donated by their own mothers.
The pair become the first ever to have
children using the very womb that brought
them into the world a generation earlier.
The breakthrough brings hope to women
who want children but were born without a
womb or have had it removed.
The two mothers are among nine women to
have been given womb transplants – seven
of which have succeeded.
Allan Pacey of the British Fertility Society
said: ‘That’s a very good success rate for a
new surgical procedure. If it carries on like
this, it may have a massive impact on things
like surrogacy.
‘Women would much prefer to have their
own baby and be pregnant than watch
another woman be pregnant.’
The babies – both boys – were born a month
ago in Sweden and are doing well with their
mothers at home.
Henrik Hagberg, a professor in foetal
medicine at King’s College London, who was
at the first birth, praised the grandmothers
who had hysterectomies to donate wombs to
their daughters.
‘It is an absolutely extraordinary gift. It is
probably the best thing you can do for your
daughter,’ he said.
‘The mothers were still very much doubting
whether things would really go well. You
don’t take anything for granted when you
have experienced all of the problems they
have been through.’
The first child, who weighed 5lb 8oz, was
born to a 29-year-old Swede who lacked a
womb at birth.
The mother of the second boy, who weighed
in at 5lb 15oz, is 34 and had her womb
removed when she was treated for cancer in
her 20s.
Both babies were delivered by Caesarean
section around a month early. They join
another history-making boy, named Vincent.
Born in September as part of the Gothenburg
University project, he was the first in the
world to be born from a womb transplant.

Recycle tinz..
But I'm sure the womb would be as aged as her mother. Which means her womb will hit menopause before her body plans to.

good news

See generational preservation. Its time they started preserving joy-sticks too.

Which school you go? Who teach you biology? Just wondering when the womb of a woman began to determine menopause? You need a re-education ASAP IMO. @ topic...good news and major medical breakthrough.

You really don't wanna go down this lane, but since you insist, fine.
A girl child is born with about 200,000 oocytes from birth. If she's using her mother's, then it must have fewer eggs than normal at that age. So, even if the FSH and LH are active, there isn't any target organ for their functions at a certain age.
Prove me wrong. It's a challenge.
