“The mother showed how much she loves her child by donating her uterus to her daughter,” we read on mirror.com.uk. The moving story of 30-year-old Krista and her mother quickly spread around the world after the 30-year-old turned out to be pregnant in May 2023.
Kristy Bryant is the first woman in Australia to have a womb transplant. The woman managed to get pregnant just 3 months after this pioneering operation, which – as emphasized by foreign media – is a milestone for research conducted in Sydney. This fact gives hope to many women who, for various reasons, cannot conceive a child.
The resident of Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, is due to give birth to her second child before Christmas, less than a year after receiving a uterus from her 54-year-old mother, Michelle. The operation was performed in January this year, in The Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney. It lasted a total of 16 hours.
The mother gave her daughter her uterus. The first such transplant in the country
The British daily writes about “the greatest gift that Michelle Bryant decided to give her daughter Kristy”. The 30-year-old needed a transplant to get pregnant again, because shortly after the birth of her first child (daughter Violet – ed.), she had to undergo a severe, life-saving hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus – ed.) due to haemorrhage.
“Kirsty participated in a research study in The Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney, and her beloved mother was the donor “- indicates the portal. The 16-hour procedure was successful.
“I was very excited when I found out about it. I feel like it’s meant to be, but it still doesn’t hit me that I’m having another baby by the end of the year! Kristy told ABC News.
“It’s wonderful that my body can do that and that my mother gave me this gift,” she added.
Mom is very excited. She can’t wait to welcome another grandchild into the family… she’s in seventh heaven
said the 30-year-old.
“People say it’s a miracle. But it’s science”
Kirsty’s pregnancy is considered a high-risk pregnancy, so the mother-to-be will be closely monitored until she gives birth in December. Expected b at 37 weeks. will undergo a caesarean section. Since there are no neural connections to the transplanted uterus in a woman’s body, the 30-year-old would not be able to feel labor contractions when she went into labor. The woman will also be monitored every two weeks from the 18th week of pregnancy.
“People keep saying it’s a miracle, but I try to remind them it’s not, it’s science. Science led me here – emphasizes the Australian.
