'Like science fiction': Woman gives birth to son using her mother's womb - How a 'crazy' request for a new womb made history

BERGSHAMRA, Sweden – Emelie Eriksson has a bond with her son that hardly seems possible: She and her son were born from the same womb. Eriksson was the first woman to have a baby after receiving a uterus from her mother, in a revolutionary operation that links three generations of their family. "It's like science fiction," Eriksson, 30, told the Associated Press in an exclusive interview at her home just north of Stockholm. "This is something that you read in history books and now in the future when you read about this, it's about me." She agreed to share her story with the AP because she hopes other women who need help having a child will be encouraged and inspired by her family's extraordinary womb transplantation experience.
