The first birth as a result of a womb transplant in the United States has occurred in Texas, a milestone for the US but one achieved several years ago in Sweden.

Hospital spokesman Craig Civale confirmed on Friday that the birth had taken place, but said no other details are available. The hospital did not identify the woman, citing her privacy.
