<p>A baby girl has become the first in the UK to be born from a womb transplant, after her aunt donated her <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/health-and-fitness/article/Uterus-removal-Alternative-treatment-modalities-to-save-uterus-21531195" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>uterus</strong></a> to her mother, a London hospital said Tuesday.</p>
<p>Amy was born on February 27 at the Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in London, two years after her mum, Grace Davidson, received a womb transplant from her older sister.</p>
<p>"We have been given the greatest gift we could ever have asked for," the new mum said.</p>
<p>She added that she hoped "going forward this could become a wonderful reality, and provide an additional option, for women who would otherwise be unable to carry their own child".</p>
<p>"The room was full of people who have helped us on the journey to actually having Amy," her father Angus Davidson told the Press Association news agency.</p>
<p>"We had been kind of suppressing emotion, probably for 10 years, and you don't know how that's going to come out -&ndash; ugly crying it turns out," he added.</p>
<p>Grace Davidson, 36, suffers from a rare condition known as Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome and was born without a functioning womb, the hospital said in a statement.</p>
<p>She became the first woman in the UK to receive a womb transplant, which was donated by her sister Amy Purdie, 42, who has two daughters, aged 10 and six.</p>
<p>The transplant was performed in February 2023 at the Oxford Transplant Centre, part of the Oxford University Hospitals foundation.</p>
<p>Professor Richard Smith, a consultant <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/health-and-fitness/article/five-gynaecological-cancers-that-every-woman-should-be-aware-of-23434509" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>gynaecological</strong></a> surgeon who co-leads the UK living donor programme, said Amy's birth was the "culmination of over 25 years of research".</p>
<p>More than 100 womb transplants have been carried out worldwide since the first ones in Sweden in 2013, and around 50 healthy babies have been born.</p>
