Mother to Have Her Own Womb Transplanted Into Her Daughter!

Eva & Sara Ottosson are about to make medical history
Sara Ottosson was born without reproductive organs, a medical condition called Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser syndrome (or MRKH for short).

The 25 year old is now engaged, and dreaming of having children, like any other young woman. Because she is unable to carry a child, Sara and her fiance thought about adoption and surrogacy as ways to have a baby, but then her life changed forever.

Transplant surgeons in Sweden are getting ready to attempt an organ transplant of the womb, and Sara and her mother, Eva Ottosson, are the perfect candidates.

If they are chosen for this groundbreaking surgery, Eva will donate her womb to her daughter, and if it all goes well, Sara will undergo IVF treatments a year later, in an attempt to conceive and carry her very own baby. While the surgery is quite complex, and has never been done successfully before, both Sara and Eva have high hopes for the future.
