The successful birth marks a significant advancement in reproductive medicine, potentially transforming the lives of thousands of women born without a functioning uterus.

Mrs Davidson, a dietician, and her husband, Angus, 37, who works in finance, expressed their overwhelming joy at the arrival of their daughter. The couple’s journey highlights the remarkable potential of womb transplantation to address uterine factor infertility.

Baby Amy was born by planned NHS Caesarean section on February 27 at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital in London.

Mrs Davidson said she felt “shock” when she first held her daughter, adding: “We have been given the greatest gift we could ever have asked for.”
