A 38-year-old woman who received a uterus transplant from her twin sister has given birth to a baby boy.
The infant was born via c-section on Thursday at Sant’Orsola Hospital in Bologna, Italy, weighing about 6.5 pounds. According to several media outlets, this is the twelfth successful birth in the world due to a uterus transplant and the first such transplant conducted between twins. Experts say this breakthrough in surgery and technology could provide hope for thousands of women with the same condition to fulfill dreams of motherhood.
