The birth of baby Amy followed 25 years of research by Prof Richard Smith, the clinical lead at the charity Womb Transplant UK. He told PA media, “I feel great joy actually, unbelievable – 25 years down the line from starting this research, we finally have a baby, little Amy Isabel. Astonishing, really astonishing.”

Grace Davidson gave birth to the first baby in the UK born from a womb transplant — after being diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.
