Woman to be given part of her mother’s body to have a baby Posted by Emma

From Made For Mums

A mum in Australia is to give her daughter her own womb, to enable the 34-year-old nurse to have a longed-for baby.

Melinda Arnold was born without a womb but with ovaries. She tried three times to have a surrogate baby, using her mum and then a friend, but all three pregnancies failed. She has also tried without success to adopt a child with her husband Andy.

Melinda’s mum Denise eventually offered her own womb to help Melinda conceive, and the family are set to be one of the first in the world to have the breakthrough surgery.

Could you donate your womb to your daughter? Would you accept such a gift from YOUR mum?
