Second Baby From A Uterus Transplant Born In The U.S.(Photos) by Explorers(op): 9:55pm On Mar 06, 2018

Doctors have delivered the second American baby born to a woman following a uterus transplant from aliving donor.

The little girl was born via cesarean section weighing 6lbs 7oz, with no complications, at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, medics confirmed today.

The mother, who has not been identified, was born without a uterus due to a syndrome called Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH), meaning she always thought pregnancy and childbirth were not anoption for her.

However, that changed when she became one of the eight women selected to receive a womb from a donor, six living, two deceased as part of Baylor's ground breaking endeavor in 2016.

While four suffered complications that led to their removal, this is the second to prove a resounding success.

Some women are born with a syndrome known as MRKH (Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser), which means their womb never developed properly.

Others lose their wombs to cervical cancer.

A baby resulting from a uterine transplant would be delivered by cesarean section.

The wombs are not intended to be permanent.

Having one means a woman must take powerful drugs to prevent organ rejection, and the drugs pose long-term health risks, so the uterus would be removed after one or two successful pregnancies.

For women born without a functioning uterus, 'transplantation represents the only way they can carry a pregnancy,' the statement said

Nigerians really don't read always rushing to comment, at the bottom of the post it says the eggs are removed from the patient and fertilized in vitro

The condition means the woman is born without a womb not that she can't produce eggs

read read read pls

"While four suffered complications that led to their removal, this is the second to prove a resounding success" And somebody said that we should not thank God. Thank God for her and her baby.
