Nine women in Sweden have received womb transplants from living relatives in a pioneering trial.
Doctor Mats Brannstrom, of the University of Gothenberg, hopes the technique could help other women who want to have a baby.
He says up to 15,000 women in the UK could stand to benefit; includes women who born without a womb or they have problems with it and can't get pregnant.
Nine women went to a trial with Dr Brannstrom's because they born without womb or had a cervical cancer, and they have a womb transplant.
Women are 30 years old approximately and are part of the first experiment to transplant wombs into women so they become pregnant.
This transplant didn't connect the women's uterus to their fallopian tubes, so they aren't become pregnant naturally. But all who received a womb have their own ovaries.
