Chelsea Jovanovic never thought she would get to have children. A teenage diagnosis of MRKH syndrome left her without a womb. But she had reckoned without the advances in medical science which would lead to pioneering womb transplants becoming possible, and without the incredible generosity of a complete stranger: Cheryl Chichonski-Urban. 

When Cheryl gave Chelsea her womb, via two operations totalling 24 hours, the two women not only created two children, they built a brand new family.
