This Morning published this video item, entitled “‘I Had A Womb Transplant – And Then Gave Birth!’ | This Morning” – below is their description.
Yesterday it was revealed that the UK’s first-ever womb transplant took place earlier this year, which is being hailed as the ‘dawn of a new era’ in fertility treatment. The 34-year-old recipient will begin IVF treatment in the near future, after the transplant was deemed a huge success. The procedure has already taken place in other countries around the world – including in the USA and Sweden – which has led to successful births. One of those women, Amanda Grundell, joins us DTL from Utah today to share her story. After being born without a uterus, she received a donor womb in 2020 and just over a year later welcomed her beautiful baby daughter. Dr Zoe will also be joining us in the studio to explain what this procedure means for women’s fertility in the future.

About This Source - This Morning
This Morning airs each weekday in the UK, on the ITV1 channel, between 10am and 12.30pm. It is described as “a mix of celebrity interviews, showbiz news, topical discussion, competitions, health, and more.”
Sweden is a Scandinavian nation with thousands of coastal islands and inland lakes, along with vast boreal forests and glaciated mountains. Its principal cities, eastern capital Stockholm and southwestern Gothenburg and Malmö, are all coastal. Stockholm is built on 14 islands. It has more than 50 bridges, as well as the medieval old town, Gamla Stan, royal palaces and museums such as open-air Skansen.
The territory of modern Utah has been inhabited by various indigenous groups for thousands of years, including the ancient Puebloans, the Navajo, and the Ute. The Spanish were the first Europeans to arrive in the mid-16th century, though the region’s difficult geography and climate made it a peripheral part of New Spain and later Mexico.
Disputes between the dominant Mormon community and the federal government delayed Utah’s admission as a state; only after the outlawing of polygamy was it admitted as the 45th, in 1896.
A little more than half of all Utahns are Mormons, the vast majority of whom are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which has its world headquarters in Salt Lake City. Utah is the only state where most of the population belongs to a single church. The LDS Church greatly influences Utahn culture, politics, and daily life, though since the 1990s the state has become more religiously diverse as well as secular.
The state has a highly diversified economy, with major sectors including transportation, education, information technology and research, government services, and mining and a major tourist destination for outdoor recreation.
A 2012 Gallup national survey found Utah overall to be the “best state to live in the future” based on 13 forward-looking measurements including various economic, lifestyle, and health-related outlook metrics.
