Womb transplants: Swedish boys born from their grandmothers’ wombs
- 9 years ago
Two Swedish women successfully gave birth to two boys after receiving wombs donated by their own mothers as part of a project at Gothenburg University, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
The babies were born a month ago in Sweden. The two mothers are among nine women to have been given womb transplants, the Daily Mail reported. The babies were delivered by C-section.
The first mother was born without a womb, while the mother of the second baby had her womb removed when she was treated for cancer. Their mother’s wombs, complete with arteries and veins, were removed in an operation similar a hysterectomy and implanted into the daughters.
The world’s first womb swap baby, identified only as “Baby Vincent,” was born in September as part of same the Gothenburg University project. He was delivered using the womb of an unrelated donor, the Telegraph reported.
According to the Telegraph, about 60 women have signed up for a similar project in the UK and are waiting for a new womb.
