Overview

• Georgia Barrington, diagnosed with MRKH syndrome at 15, produces eggs but lacks a uterus, preventing her from carrying a child.
• The National Health Service covered £5,000 of her egg extraction in October 2023 while she and partner Lloyd Williams paid £15,000 for fertilization and embryo creation.
• A first embryo transfer in October 2024 ended in a nine-week miscarriage, prompting a second transfer on January 31 that led to a confirmed pregnancy in February.
• Daisy Hope, Georgia’s childhood friend and former patient when Georgia delivered her daughter Emilia, fulfilled a teenage promise by hosting the pregnancy into its second trimester.
• MRKH affects about one in 5,000 women, underscoring the importance of surrogacy and NHS support for those seeking alternative paths to parenthood.
