DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – Baylor Scott & White Health confirmed Tuesday that a baby was born to a second mother who received a uterus transplant as part of a clinical trial at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas. The birth was the second of its kind in the United States.
The first child born from a uterus transplant came late last year at the same hospital. The parents said they were hopeful more children would be born from uterine transplants.
“Last month, with the help of Baylor Scott & White, we were able to add a beautiful baby boy to our family after a successful Uterine Transplant. We consider ourselves profoundly blessed to have been a part of this study, and we are optimistic that this initial success will lead to many more in the future. We humbly hope that our little boy can serve as an inspiration to those struggling with infertility, and demonstrate throughout his life that no matter what obstacles are in your path, with the right team working beside you, anything is possible.”
The mother of the child born in February was born without a uterus. Doctors say the two recent births prove that more and more women will be able to successfully go through the transplant process.
