  • Following the birth of her first child, Violet, Kirsty experienced a large post partum
    haemorrhage, which required a hysterectomy to save her life. This would seem to spell an end to her fertility journey and Kirsty, who had always imagined more children, began conversations around surrogacy. However, she couldn't get rid of the nagging feeling that she desperately wanted to carry another child herself.

    Still deep in postpartum, Kirsty began a journey of discovery about uterine transplant - a surgery not yet performed in Australia but gaining momentum elsewhere in the world. Stumbling across a website for a clinical trial in Australia, Kirsty fired off a chance email that would change her trajectory completely and see her become the first woman in Australia to undergo the surgery and successfully receive her mother's uterus. She subsequently became pregnant and her son Henry grew and flourished in the same womb in which she herself had developed years before.

    Kirsty speaks of the science which saved her childbearing dreams and has already been replicated for others in Australia as momentum continues to grow for women's fertility choices.
