It’s "still sinking in that we have actually done it," Mats Brannstrom, an obstetrician at the University of Gothenberg, told the AP.
THE DONOR HAD GONE THROUGH MENOPAUSE ALREADY
The news is a big deal for science and women in general, but it’s especially important for people living in Sweden, where surrogacy isn’t legal, reports The Washington Post. The mother was born without a uterus (but with functioning ovaries), which means that she would have been unable to have kids of her own without the surgery. Still, even after the transplant, Brannstrom was unsure whether a pregnancy would be possible. The donor was 61-year-old woman who had given birth to two kids. She had also gone through menopause.
