First Baby Born in Britain Following Uterus Transplant

Grace, a woman with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, gave birth to her daughter Amy Isabel after receiving a uterus donated by her sister.

Overview

  • The birth of Amy Isabel in London marks the first successful uterus transplant birth in Britain, a major milestone in reproductive medicine.
  • Grace, the 36-year-old mother, was born without a functional uterus due to Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.
  • Her older sister, already a mother of two, donated her uterus to Grace in a transplant procedure conducted two years ago.
  • Following the transplant, an embryo was implanted via artificial insemination, leading to the successful pregnancy and cesarean delivery in February 2025.
  • This achievement builds on earlier breakthroughs in Sweden (2014) and Germany (2019), showcasing global progress in overcoming congenital infertility.
