The first child birth from a uterus transplant outside of a clinical trial took place in Alabama this year, bringing a baby boy to a mother who could not give birth naturally.
The woman gave birth in May through uterus transplantation at the University of Alabama at Birmingham hospital, according to a press release.
The woman who made medical history, whose first name is Mallory, learned as a teenager that she was born without a uterus due to a condition called Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, according to the statement. Unable to biologically carry a child, medicine did not stop her from becoming a mother.
