In a heartwarming medical first for the UK, Grace Davidson has given birth to a healthy baby girl – after receiving a womb transplant from her own sister. Grace, 36, who was born without a womb, welcomed baby Amy Isabel on 27 February in what she and her husband Angus call “the greatest gift we could ever have asked for.”
After years of waiting, setbacks, and heartbreak, Grace gave birth via caesarean at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital in London. Twenty medical staff were on hand just in case, but baby Amy arrived safely, weighing just over 4.5lbs and needing no special care. “It was without any doubt, the best day of our lives,” Grace told the Daily Mail. “I had longed to be a mum for so long.”
