When Kirsty Bryant became the first woman in Australia to receive a uterus transplant, she did not expect to fall pregnant just months afterwards.

The 30-year-old mother from Coffs Harbour on the NSW Mid North Coast, underwent the landmark 16-hour surgery in January after receiving a uterus donated by her mother, 54-year-old Michelle Hayton.
