The parents of the world's first womb-transplant baby have spoken of their joy and said they hoped the birth would inspire other women struggling with infertility.
The mother was born without a uterus but after receiving a transplant gave birth to a healthy but premature son, named Vincent, last month in Sweden.
She told The Associated Press she had endured years of sorrow - but now felt "fantastic".
The 36-year-old, whose name and identity remain unknown, said: "At the first touch, when I saw my baby, I felt like a mother."
Cradling her young son, she said she still could not believe she was finally a mother, after being told at 15 that she had no womb and would never carry her own children.
