This time, she proudly holds the title of the first woman in the UK to give birth following such a groundbreaking procedure.

Curious to explore this miraculous tale further? LEARN MORE.

In 2023, Grace Davidson made history as the first British woman to undergo a successful womb transplant.

Two years on and she has made history once again, as the first woman in the UK to give birth after the procedure.

Grace had received the womb from her older sister Amy after being diagnosed with a rare condition called Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH), which causes the womb to either be underdeveloped or completely absent, although the ovaries are still intact and fully functional.

She is one of four women in the country to undergo a womb transplant and the only one to have received a uterus from a living donor.

Two years on from the pioneering operation and Grace is now a mum to baby Amy Isabel, named in honour of her aunt and the surgeon who helped perfect the operation.

Sharing what it was like for her and partner Angus to meet their baby daughter for the first time, Grace said: “We have been given the greatest gift we could ever have asked for.

“It sort of feels like there’s a completeness now where there maybe wasn’t before.”

Angus continued: “It had been such a long wait. We’d been intending to have a family somehow since we were married, and we’ve kind of been on this journey for such a long time.”

Amy joins 65 other children around the world who’ve been born after a successful womb transplant, the first of which was baby boy born to a Swedish couple in 2014.

Understandably the moment was absolutely overwhelming for Grace and Angus, who revealed there was plenty of ‘ugly crying’ upon Amy’s birth.

“We had been kind of suppressing emotion, probably for 10 years, and you don’t know how that’s going to come out – ugly crying it turns out,” Angus said.

“The moment we saw her was incredible, and both of us just broke down in emotional tears – it’s hard to describe, it was elation.”

Grace and Angus also added they would ‘definitely’ like to have a second child, while her older sister Amy has added ‘there was no question’ when the possibility that she could donate her womb came up.

“It was very natural,” the mother-of-two said. “Because we had followed Grace on the plan of a deceased donor, we had gone on the journey with her.

“And then when she mentioned that there was this opportunity, immediately both me and my older sister, Laura, and our mum – we all said we would do it. There was no question about it.”
