Washington, April 30 (ANI): A woman, who became the first person to successfully receive a donor womb, is now six weeks into a "healthy" pregnancy.
Derya Sert was born without a womb and had one transplanted in August 2011.
Doctors placed an embryo into the 22-year-old's womb in March, using one of her own eggs, CBS News reported.
According to a statement from Akdeniz University Hospital in Turkey's Mediterranean city of Antalya, doctors have monitored a fetal heartbeat and have found that the pregnancy is going well.
"Early test results are consistent with pregnancy. The patient is in good health at the moment. We will continue to update on developments in the coming period," the statement reads.
A successful birth would provide hope for women who were born without a womb or who lose it to disease. (ANI)
