three consecutie paragraphs:

"Sweden is the only country where uterine transplants have been completed successfully — all at the University of Gothenburg with a uterus from a live donor. Nine women have had them, and four have given birth, the first in September 2014. Another is due in January. Their babies were born healthy, though premature. Two transplants failed and had to be removed, one because of a blood clot and the other because of infection.

"Two earlier attempts — one in Saudi Arabia, and one in Turkey — failed. Other hospitals, in the United States and in Britain, are also preparing to try the surgery, but are not as close as the team in Cleveland is.

"Dr [Andreas G] Tzakis[m director of solid organ transplant surgery at a Cleveland Clinic hospital in Weston, Fla] said the anti-rejection drugs were safe, noting that thousands of women with donor kidneys or livers, who must continue taking anti-rejection drugs during pregnancy, had given birth to healthy babies. Those women are more likely than others to have pre-eclampsia, a complication of pregnancy involving high blood pressure, and their babies tend to be smaller. But it is not known whether those problems are caused by the drugs, or by the underlying illnesses that led to the transplants.
