A Swedish woman who underwent a pioneering transplant using the donated womb of her living mother has a baby son, it's just been announced.

The woman, who didn't want to be named to preserve her privacy, lost her own womb to cancer in her 20s. She said becoming a mother to her now nine-month-old is everything she hoped for, 'and a little bit more'.

Dr Mats Brannstrom, who is behind the revolutionary process, has ushered in four babies – all boys – with transplanted wombs, and a fifth is on the way. He said there was something very special about this case: “It’s one uterus bridging three generations of a family,” he said.
