Hannah Vaughan found out that she was born without a womb when she was 16.
A woman who was born without a womb has said the UK’s first womb transplant has given her a “glimmer of hope” that she can one day carry her own child.
The condition affects about one in every 5,000 women, including a 34-year-old who was reported to be the first person in the UK to receive a womb transplant, from her sister, at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford, which is part of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. She added that she found solace in the fact that the receiver of the womb transplant also has MRKH and to see that the procedure “is going well for her”.
In order to qualify for a womb transplant, Miss Vaughan said: “I believe I would need to have frozen my embryos and there are lots of health tests in order to progress through the treatment.”
