My Son and I Shared a Womb
Description
This is the kind of story that stops you in your tracks. When Kristy Bryant lost her uterus after a traumatic birth, she thought her dream of carrying another child was over. But in an extraordinary Australia-first clinical trial, she received a uterus transplant - from her own mother, Michelle. That same womb, which once carried Kristy, gave her the chance to carry her son, Henry.
Kristy takes us inside this groundbreaking procedure, sparing no details. With raw honesty, she shares the highs, the heartbreak, and the deeply personal (and at times graphic) realities of this medical milestone, all made possible by the ultimate mother-daughter bond.
