First Uterus Transplant at Penn Medicine leads to Baby Boy

- The birth of Benjamin Thomas Gobrecht defied both expectation and imagination: his mother, 33-year-old Jennifer Gobrecht, was born without a uterus. Benjamin, who arrived in November 2019 at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, grew inside a womb Jennifer received as part of an organ transplant research trial over a year earlier. Benjamin is the first baby born as part of Penn Medicine’s Uterus Transplantation for Uterine Factor Infertility (UNTIL) trial, which launched in 2017. He is the second baby in the nation to be born following the transplantation of a uterus from a deceased donor.
Jen was born with a congenital condition called Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, which means she has functional ovaries but does not have a fully formed uterus. MRKH affects approximately 1 out of every 4,500 females and makes it impossible for women to get pregnant or carry a child. It’s one example of Uterine Factor Infertility (UFI), which is a previously irreversible form of female infertility that affects as many as five percents of reproductive-aged women worldwide. A person with UFI cannot carry a pregnancy either because she was born without a uterus, has had the organ surgically removed, or has a uterus that does not function properly.
The uterus transplantation done as part of this clinical trial is a complex investigational procedure that involves both surgical and medical management. More than 35 health care providers and clinical investigators are involved in each trial participant’s care over the course of a five- to 10-year research period, which spans IVF, transplantation, and birth, to long term follow-up after delivery and after the surgical removal of the organ after delivery.

This has me sobbing ...I was born with MRKH as well and this means that I can one day have a chance at having my own child as well...this is huge when all you ever knew was “You’ll never have your own children”
same, I hope this can happen to me one day...damn I was trying not to cry, but shit I'm over here sobbing lol. So happy her baby is healthy and she had no issues during the pregnancy
I really hope you get your dreams fulfilled❤ i'm her for educational purposes and can't really relate because i do have a uterus but when i'll have my family complete in my late thirties i will definitely consider giving it up for younger people to also bear their own❤ i'm sure surgeries like these will happen more in the future so keep your head high! I hope you get everything you wish for in your journey!
Do you take your eggs for the IVF? Do you have ovaries?
This is just absolutely magical.
I am 27 years old and did not even realize that women can be born without a uterus.
This is going to turn into another way rich will buy spare parts from the poor.
I have to say, this is really impressive from a medical stand point. And a big prop to the couple for taking the risk. I can't imagine the trust they had to go with something that had never been done before. Hopefully, the technique and procedure can become more accessible to allow more people the opportunity to have a child
This is so beautiful! What a wonderful gift. This gave her the gift of motherhood.
Absolutely blessed. God Bless the woman that lost her life and gave the gift of life to this couple what an amazing gesture.
I’m currently 29 weeks along with my first baby and I never knew that there were women out there without a uterus due to being born with out one. I’m
So happy to see that medicine has come so far to be able to give them this chance.
So happy for both of you and so thankful for the donor that gave the greatest gift to you and the awesome doctors and nurses.
Thank you folks at Penn Medicine And the Perelman School for all that you do for humanity! ♥
A true miracle and one many, many more women will hopefully experience in the future thanks to Penn Medicine! 💙 My grandson is a gift beyond measure.
How much money
You mean men

How much did it costs you to do the womb transplant?
Awww I have mrkh today this video has honestly gave me hope of being a mother one day x

Good decision by both pairs , educated
Me as a transgender guy who never wants to deliver my kids and wants to adopt instead: now this sounds like a job for me 😎
I want it to be a gift for them
Amazing!!!
Amazing.
definitely ugly cried...! Penn Medicine, y'all are amazing!!!!
I had cancer at 29, lost my ovaries went into menopause I'm 49 now and my body is like an 89
But where are they getting there “ donor” uterus’ from🤔
Just like what the name states, "donor" so it's from a donor that is either deceased or is still living. A living uterus donor that has completed her own childbearing can give her uterus for the purpose of transplantation to a female recipient. A deceased uterus donor is a female that is willing to donate her uterus after death.
Congrats!!! She looks like missy from dailybumps(:
I marvel everytime that I watch this couple's journey into becoming the loving parents that they so desperately wanted to be. I consider this a medical miracle. These Doctors are Blessed in learning how to make this happen. I see God's handiwork all over this transplant. And as far as the woman who passed on this gift in dying, she is up in Heaven with God for all eternity. 🙏❤
Let's go penn medicine 🔥🔥🔥

Upenn 🔥
I neeeed this why is it so hard for me
So i have a working uterus , had 4 kids , who wants to buy it.
I can see it now. Trans people demanding this.
Okay, so what?
okay , we git to accept other
It will be a bit more difficult for them tho, since they don't have a vagina at all and mrkh women still have 1/3d of it on which the uterus can be connected.
yeah this could help a lot of trans people who would otherwise be infertile
A mtf will not be able to do this their pelvis are made differently than women and they do it give off the proper nutrients for a child to thrive.
I'm also MRKH... im always want to be a mom too..😭
I cannot do surrogate as a Muslim... But i hope to have a uterus transplant... Cuz i really really want to be a mom😭
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Help me
Switch parts.. Duh..
This opens up the possibility of transgender women being able to experience child birth! This is amazing
Scientifically speaking, it doesn’t. Their bodies do not produce enough progesterone to support a uterus and taking it synthetically would do more harm than good. Also, their bodies wouldn’t be able to produce enough blood to support themselves and a fetus. Their pelvises aren’t designed to stretch and spread from birth. They would literally shatter. Also, you need ovum to get pregnant, which come from ovaries, not uteruses. The uterus is simply the “housing“, so to speak. Also, their body would attack the foreign uterus like a virus or foreign invader that it thinks it is. This isn’t meant to be harmful, just informative.
2:40 the doctor says they have to connect the existing vagina to the donor uterus. I’m not sure that bottom surgery necessarily creates an anatomically correct vagina. Something to consider maybe…
I doubt it would work, the female has every piece to connect to the uterus
No , male pelvis is different than female. Make pelvis is missing joints that enable fetal growth.
Hello can someone help to get the this doctor's phone number,?or email?
I also need because I have no uterus so I am saving money, working hard to transfer. And I must know how much money does it takes to this operation
