Miracle Baby: A Uterus Transplant Documentary

- čas přidán 10. 05. 2020
- Miracle Baby is a documentary film offering an unprecedented look at the process of uterus transplant - from the science behind the procedure to the incredible emotional impact it can have on a family.
After learning she'd been born without a fully-formed uterus (a condition called Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, or MRKH), Jen Gobrecht was forced to come to terms with the fact that she'd never be able to carry children in her own womb. Then she learned about Penn Medicine's Uterus Transplant program, and embarked on a journey she never imagined was possible.
Follow Jen and her husband Drew as they navigate every twist and turn from transplant surgery to IVF to pregnancy and ultimately delivering a healthy baby boy.

I had to have a complete hysterectomy at age 22 in 1980. I remember being devastated when I woke up from surgery realizing I would never have a child. I called around the country about something called invitro. I had read about it in a USA Today article. An astounding new science. The Dr. I contacted from up North said do you still have your uterus and I said no. He was so incredibly kind to me. I am sure he could sense my agony of wanting to conceive. He said you would have to have a uterus transplant and I am so sorry but the science is not there yet and may not be in time. He was right. As sad as this sounds I am SO THANKFUL FOR SCIENCE and the Doctors who made her pregnancy possible. I’ve felt the agony of not being able to have your own child and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Well done. God Speed!
Help me pray for a miracle frm god 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Have you thought of surrogacy you could have done a retrieval
@@katharyndavidson1188 wouldn't OP be 64 by now? This happened in 1980. Children at that age would require a lot of medical intervention to happen and she might not live long enough to see them grown.
Plus she had a total hysterectomy so I don't think she has her ovaries either in able to make her own eggs. But there was no point in the doctor also pointing that out to her too and making her that much sadder.
❤❤❤
Let's take a moment to thank the donor and her family, and think about what a great loss they've had, to give a woman this gift. How priceless, and loving.
Yes. It's so tragic that their daughter died, and much as they intellectually may like the idea that part of her is able to help another couple, it must invoke mixed feelings. I guess it's when any part is donated. It's hard to accept that a younger person has died. It may help to know that your loved one is helping, even after death, but it marks the final moments of any hope of resusicaion of your child. The recipient must feel great gratitude.
Amen
The donor was one responsible for bringing new life to the world. This is why I am an organ donor.
Yes I totally agree!
Amen
Ok, Drew’s energy and love for his wife and the raw emotion he has for the chance of having children with her really made this documentary epic.
I just found he added to the angst!
Born with no uterus and now has her own baby which she carried inside talk about miracles and hope 🙏🏼💕
It’s incredible isn’t it? Medical science is miraculous and life changing. So happy for this couple, happy they got their chance to become parents. 👏🏻❤️
🙏🙏🙏
Wie kann man ohne Gebärmutter Baby's bekommen?Unvorstellbar
@@marlenmuller she had a uterus transplanted into her and got pregnant after that.
What is Suitable age for uterus transplant
I have loss 11 pregnancies and this gives me so much hope 😭😭😭
amanda marquinez
I can't even imagine your losses.
I care🙏❤️🙏
Sad
So sorry for your loss stay strong u will get your baby soon
I wish the best for you!
My best friend lost a lot of pregnancies also. We discover her gluten intolerance was cause. She had 1 child who is having the same problem. Good luck don’t give up hope ❤️🙏
I'm boohooing with tears of joy for this couple. I had two ectopic pregnancies and a miscarriage and would have done anything for this opportunity.I now have a 21-year-old daughter that we adopted when she was about 3 hours old and we Love her madly!
Exactly! Not only were you able to be a mother, but you were able to share yourself with someone who really needed you!
Bless YOU! (Not these buffoons...)
Congratulations yay
I'm so happy for you! Adoption is often the most overlooked option to parenthood. Thankfully, more and more people are aware now of how fulfilling adoption can be.
Sadly, that is why girls should never get abortions! In their panicked or selfish state of mind that they’re in during the planning of an abortion, they have NO IDEA how much joy they could bring to potential parents if these young moms would just let their babies live and give them up for adoption!!! AND a HUGE benefit to the birth mother would be that there would be no guilt about taking your own child’s LIFE!
@@deboraholsen2504 Women don't have to go through pregnancy to birth a child they didn't plan to keep to give him up to couples who can't have children 😐 there are already enough children waiting to be adopted, women have the right to choose. And abortion is NOT murder.
I went through IVF and ICSI for my first son after years of fertility issues. Today, I have five beautiful children. My last four were born naturally. Miracles do happen. ♥️
Pregnant with my ivf/icsi baby 💕 this makes me so happy!
Congrats to you both 💕
What a supportive husband what a doctors this girl is the luckiest one
Yes, this was fantastic all around...!
@@marys3127 it's God's work
Yeah
Blessed, w credit going to God for the gift of life!
My daughter is going to need this done please continue making miracles
I'll say a prayer for her. I'm amazed- I've never ever heard of such a thing.
Hopefully your daughter will have a miraculous outcome like this is.
Xe a crazy
Praying for her x
Will she need transplant meds because they are implanting some else organs into a body
Katherine Gilmour ,
I’m currently 38 weeks pregnant and this makes me so thankful to of had a happy and successful pregnancy.
16 weeks here ❤️ I hope your birth goes safe and well x
To have had
Good for u ....
My cousin had this done! 💛 she now has a 8 month old boy
She can have another if she wishes
Awesome!
Wherr is she living?
N how much it cost?
How much does it cost? Please can you answer
God bless the family who gifted the uterus...🥰
Congrats congrats congrats. God Bless!
@Susan Kerr dude things can happen down the road and that doesn't prove that God isnt real.
@Susan Kerr dude I dont believe in God either but just be respectful for what other people think :/ the commenter didn't mean harm and wants the best for parents who want to have kids
@Susan Kerr keep trying to convince yourself of that, you'll find Him unexpectedly.
@Susan Kerr Actually no human can physically make and animal or a plant to I BELIEVE HE DOES.
I love how emotional the dad gets at every turn. It really touched me.
I'm in tears! I have MRKH syndrome as well. There's so much hope after watching this! I'm so happy for this beautiful family and grateful for these health professions to do what they do to advance medical health care.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Woww I hope that this option becomes available if you if you want to pursue it and everyone to who needs it!!
I just can’t get over the thought of having a uterus from a deceased person. 😳. So glad this story had a happy ending. Hope many more couples are able to have babies this way.
I can't either. I have cadaver bone in my mouth for screws to put caps on. It grosses me out. Had the choice of bovine or cadaver, dentist strongly suggested cadaver. I was leaning towards bovine, I'd rather have cow 🐮 bone.moo! I try not to think about it. PS Penn STATE hospital rocks!!! Had lots of surgery there. We recently moved from Pennsylvania to California and I miss it. I'm a small town girl. Wow, uterus transplant. So sad on one side and such happiness on the other. Good luck. My baby factory is closed, I'd give it up in a moment for some other family could have kids like we did but I guess it just doesn't work that way. 💜✌🏻🍼PS I was told I had a beautiful uterus during an ultrasound lol never really thought they are beautiful, functional- yes. Beautiful, hummmm.
Isn't it the same thing with most organ donations?
99% of that procedure is the deceased person`s part of body. I`d rather see it as this person being gived a second life.
All organs are from deceased people , when it’s life and death most people don’t mind having someone’s organs
@@candygirl9923 Respectfully, most but not all transplants are from a deceased donor. A kidney can come from a brave, live donor willing to take a chance on the one they keep. Science is amazing isn’t it?!!
Omg when they said the pregnancy test was positive I started cry laughing!!
same, more than I did even finding out I was pregnant myself!
What happened with ur own uterus ???
Seriously it's a miracle... I hope I r so luckiest person 💕💕💕
Isn't it amazing what these Dr's can do now, it gives hope to so many couples..
@@jennrocchi6385 same..I cried tears of joy!
I didn’t get pregnant until I was 48 (menopausal hormones) kicked in and it has been the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I totally understand the desire to have children, so if people wanted to give their uterus to others that would be such an awesome gift.
Being pregnant is such an incredible experience. I'm glad that they can do a surgery like this that allows for people like them to be able to experience it.

My IVF doctor, Dr Putman in Dallas, TX, did the very first IVF procedures post uterine transplants with Baylor in 2017. It's so amazing what they can do now. Watching these women hold their babies that they never thought possible is absolutely amazing.
What a beautiful story. I've recently undergone open fetal surgery to repair myleomeningocele for my unborn son, and this felt close to home for me. You go through a lot of "not normal" in some of these situations, but caring teams who are personally invested in your success make it all so much easier. I can't imagine the emotions that would come with being told you'd never carry a baby and going through with procedures like these, but I do understand the odd defying devotion of mother's and fathers, and of the individuals who dedicate their careers and lives to helping them achieve the best for their families. So glad to see mom and baby happy and healthy! An update would be amazing.
FRANCIQUE ERIC AND IRENE
When I was pregnant with my twins I had pre-eclampsia. I had to have a c section at 26 weeks and 3 days. My daughter weighed 1lb 2.2oz and my son weighed 1lb 3.5oz both 12 inches long. They are now 18 months old both happy and healthy.
Just finished the video. There’s so much joy from everyone involved in the creation of this little life! I get a special feeling when I see Dads like this one who really wanted their babies and care so much about them!!! (My Own father never wanted any children, yet he had 7 of them from two marriages! I was the sixth one of his babies and during the whole nine months of my gestation, he was angry at my Mom for carrying the pregnancy to term! Then he abandoned all 4 of us children from his second marriage when I was 5 so that he could marry someone else.)
Anyway, it’s so heartwarming to see the doctors are so happy too! Ive never witnessed so many people working together to accomplish something so very meaningful! That little baby boy is so, so adorable!!! Congratulations, Mom and Dad!
This video is one of the most meaningful I’ve ever seen!
I'm sorry that your childhood was like that. ♥️😔🙏
God bless every person who was a part of this from beginning to end. My husband and I were never able to have our own children so I completely understand the before feelings. I wish many, many positive blessings on all of these people. What a miracle!
This wasn't the thing to watch when I'm trying to to do my makeup! I am just like Drew and cant stop tearing up! Science is incredible, that family is beautiful.
I had to pause this video to write this because it made me get very emotional and cry when they got the phone call about the positive pregnancy result! So happy for them! Thank you for sharing this video with us. I didn’t know it was possible to have a uterine transplant before watching this! Having children has been the greatest joy of my life!!! And it’s quite an experience to love a little person more than you love yourself! Every baby is a miracle from God!
This little guy is truly a miracle. Congratulations to the couple.
Beautiful... I’m 67 years old have children. And the joy that you guys are experiencing strange, I felt that joy with you. Congratulations!!!
Congratulations!What a miracle!God bless you and your precious family.
so emational
Oh my gosh! This was a real
miracle made by this whole staff and watched over by God. I can't wait to see this over and over again, because nobody ever gave the uterus a thought that it was transplant able
I'm so very happy for this couple. He cried so much at the thought of being a father,of having that baby and watching him hold that little boy at home,it was so beautiful to see the look on his face. Thank God.
Hey i have mrkh type one having the transplant in 5 years my sister is giving me her uterus im so sceard but this has helped me so much im so glad it come up on my suggested for u ........i feel like saying thankyou
Good luck with your transplant!!!!!
Good luck, but he prepared for the risks and the likely complications... It's very hard on the body.
Science is so amazing. I had a total hysterectomy at 21yo always knew this would happen one day. What an unbelievable gift. So happy for them and this very fine team of surgeons and their assistants
I was promoted to watch this from them posting in a ivf page. Cant find the original post but wow so emotional for you all . Congratulations this is amaizng. Science is great!
Wow!! Just wow!! All involved literally won life's lottery... U r all amazing human beings & Ben is blessed to have such beautiful parents ❤️🙏❤️
Where is the ❤ button??
God bless this beautiful family and the team of doctors. God bless that family who lost a special woman who died and gave her uterus so that life could continue in this precious baby boy.
This comment needs ALL the upvotes!
Benjamin smiling was worth this family's journey. I hope that the donor's family also feels that joy that they unselfishly provided.😭 🙏😭🙏😭🙏
As a woman without a uterus my husband and I separated after giving up that we’d ever be able to afford surrogacy. Although I am registered on the uterine transplant register unless I can find a donor I can’t even get an appointment to go any further to even see if I am suitable. I want my husband to be a father so I had to let him go.
Even though we love each other, everyone deserves to have a family if they are able.
I am a incredibly fit and healthy 41 year old woman and yet my heart breaks for people in such a situation.
Congratulations to these lovely people. My heart goes out to you both and your little boy
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS INCREDIBLE STORY🙏
This is amazing and I’m so happy for Jen and Drew!
The work you do is cutting edge and life changing. I can only imagine how it must feel to be a part of something so wonderful.
It's touching really how the donors organs not only probably helped plenty of people on the more common transplant lists, but created life and groundbreaking new potential for women across the world. I know if it were me being the donor that it would give my family another level of comfort knowing that my passing gave a family a new beginning ❤
This is so amazing. I couldn't imagine how happy she must have felt.
This is so flippen amazing! I absolutely love it!! Brought me to tears. These doctors are amazing!
I was born without a uterus and id would love to have children.
Wishing you the best of luck!
I hope that you will get there someday. Your going to love that child in a very special way for sure. Have a nice day.
@@Ray-fk7ly me to
Then adopt....?
Well... I would give you mine if that means no more birth control😅
Amazing! I cried everytime the dad cried. Excellent work to the medical team, and blessed is the soul of the donour.
I cried from the start till the end.. I can related how eager for them to have their own baby, as i am struggled for 12 years and still, i definitely really happy for them, their effort encourage me more. Thank you for this video. Its help me find my strenght and courage again.
That just made me think, when I'm done having babies, I would donate my uterus if it were possible. I have a 5-month-old daughter and I am absolutely certain I don't want to go through more than 3 pregnancies. I hope by the time my family is complete it will be possible to be a living uterus donor, like for blood or bone marrow.
The baby is so lucky and thankful to have a parents like them,♥️❤️they really make a long journey to have their own child ♥️
Everyone deserves to have a family is so true. This couple is amazing and I'm so happy for them!
Miraculous and amazing
Congratulations to the parents and the wonderful med-surg team
Congratulations to the entire team to execute your miracle baby! Amazing teamwork and I am Super excited for your guys. 👏🏻👍🏻😀
I love how this gives a new way of opportunity for couples ❤️
Wow!! That list of names. A true miracle. This made me cry like 5 times.
Thanks for sharing . I didn't know until now that this procedure existed. Blessings to you and your family.
What a beautiful story. I’ve never cried so hard at the joy of these two holding their newborn.
its weird coz I can actually feel their hope, anticipation, and happiness. its making me feel very lucky for being born with complete set of organs. sooo happy for this family ❤️
Blessed.
Sometimes we forget how much blessed we are and we take it for granted on what we have. Little did we know that someone else is wishing for it. Beautiful story! ❤️❤️❤️ Everyday I’m thankful to God for the miracle he has done for us. 🙏🏻
This came into my recommends unexpectedly. I'm so glad.
This is an absolutely beautiful part of one couples life. Beautiful bubba so loved and wanted. X
Congratulations,, Amazing moment and i am very happy for you..
I’ve watched how many seasons of 90 day fiancé, and ALL THIS fit into 30mins?! I’d watch SEASONS of this lifechanging incredibleness!! Those doctors are SO AMAZING to have created this study and opportunity!!
Oh that baby smile was just heavenly. Congratulations on your achievement.
Amazing team of drs.....
This is amazing! What a rollers coaster of emotions! Thank you for sharing this. It really gives me hope ❤️
This is such a beautiful and amazing story, thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I wish you all the best for the future.
I would love to give my uterus (ovaries and all) to someone who needs it. I have no desire to have children and it would be selfish of me to keep that ability when I don’t want to use it.
I want please
What a nice person you are!
How amazing would it be if this could be a real thing.
I would, too!! I don't want kids.
Become an organ donor and let ur Drs know
A big Thankyou to the Donor
Bless her heart RIP xx
Overcome with so much emotion!! From one MRKH sister to another, THANK YOU!
I have mrkh type one did you join the mrkh fb page its a privete groupe for women like us to conect and help eachother x
Wow. This is amazing. Amazing for the medical community and amazing for these two who have their little family now. You can tell they love each other deeply. This baby is a miracle and he is going to have so much love he won't know what to do . 🥰🥰🥰
As someone who suffered with infertility, this was a joy to watch. I relived so many wonderful memories of my journey that in the end gave me two miracles. God Bless you both for having the courage to go through this not only for yourself, but for all those that may now have a chance at their own miracles! AND God Bless the amazing team that worked so hard to bring this miracle to life! This is such a strong testimate of the importance of being a donor. God Bless the family that made this possible all while going through a very painful time in their lives. May God watch over you all!
Such a eye opening video, I never thought this was possible and I am excited that this may be possible for me to do and get a family.
What a miracle. God Bless all of you. This is truly a blessing from God❤️
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful story !
35 year ago I was at the end of my infertility journey and prayed for this technology. Thank you God for your miracles. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
How amazing!!! I wonder if they will attempt baby #2. So Fascinating ♥️
Wow, this had me in tears much like the dad❤️❤️❤️ what an amazing gift and miracle. I am pretty speechless but I am so happy for this beautiful family!!!!! I wonder if they tried for a second baby? Just WOW❤️❤️❤️
This is an extraordinary achievement! Thankyou our Hero docs, and I am very much motivated than ever!
What an amazing story! I wonder if they had another baby. Blessings to them and all the medical team who brought them their dreams.
This is such a fabulous documentary. I have cried with this family the whole way through. God Bless this family as well as the medical team.
Having such amazing Doctors is only a dream for many people ... people like me ☹️
This is absolutely amazing! Congratulations to a wonderful team!
This made me so emotional! I had fertility issues before i had my son. I truely understand thier story. I know fertility issues and not having a uterus is polar opposites. But im so happy for them.
Wonderful story, really happy for both of them. Does anyone know if the uterus was removed or are they hoping for another baby?
How AWESOME!!!!! I sincerely hope they took the opportunity to have baby #2 before the uterus was in-implanted.
Ha! I was just coming to make the same comment…Apparently I had the same idea 2 years ago. Funny thing is that I don’t remember watching this in 2021. 😅
I wonder if the donors family know that a beautiful gift that she gave and how wonderful her sacrifice was appreciated! I appreciated it and I had absolutely nothing to do with this at all! Thank you to the donor and her family!!!
Wow so amazing, wishing the new parents joy and happiness forever and bless the donor and their family for allowing this to happen
"A moment of celebration, a moment of success!" Congrats to the couple :)
Wow! 😭GOD is so awesome, amazing!!
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! CONGRATULATIONS...YOU AND THE STAFF! 🌹
Science and medicine is frickin awesome... also, those doctors & surgeons are phenomenal!
I was crying while watching this miracle! So happy for this family and for modern medicine and for great doctors and researchers 🥰
Praise, Glory and Thanks be to God Almighty. Let's keep our faith highest you will see miracles. Blessed are those truly caring protecting, and loving the life of precious little ones.
Praise God for sure!
The end probably made me cry....i am so happy for her🙂🙂❤️❤️
Wowed I am in tears as a 41-year-old woman was having trouble conceiving this was a fantastic and mine boggling video and I hope to have more women get to experience it god bless you and your children
I have 3little children but watching this made me cry
I am soooooo happy for them🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗
Thank almighty every moment as I know how sad we are as my daughter in law lost her 1 fallopian tube no children past 8 years please pray.
Wow. This is beautiful!
I think this is a valid option for both me and my oldest daughter. Please continue to make the miracles happen 🙏...
Amazing...thank you all
Miracles happen with devoted people
Nobody thanked the donor and family. This could not have happened without them. But I am happy for the parents of the baby.
Congratulation to mom and dad! This is one of the most inspiring stories I have seen/read in yrs. To go from beimg told you will never carry your own children to finding a doctor so invested in making that dream a reality was amazing! Your doctor truly cared about not just mom and what she was going through and making sure that everything went as smoothly as it could but she also cared about dad. Again congrats guys on making your dream true! I pray you get to have as many littles ones as y'all can handle!!
It must be scary for dad when she went into surgery
Beautiful, Amazing Story 🥺🥺💙💙
Congratulations to you too
You guys DESERVE IT 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🍾🍾
I think people who haven’t experienced infertility fail to understand that adoption is not a cure for infertility and it is not the responsibility of all infertile people to adopt children. In some countries it’s also not an option, not possible and incredibly rare. In fact where I live I would have more of a chance becoming a mother via uterus transplant that I would through adoption or surrogacy. The way a person or couple choose to grow their family is deeply personal and different for everyone depending on their individual circumstances. The fact that uterus transplants is an option is just an incredible breakthrough, thankyou for sharing and raising awareness.
