EXCLUSIVE - 'I gave birth using my sister's womb... and I still can't believe my boy is real': Miracle of the Swedish baby who was created in his AUNT'S uterus after his infertile mother received a transplant.

Lolita Wästerlund was told aged 14 she had been born without a uterus and would never carry a baby.

She suffered from Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome - which affects one in 4,500 women.

The nurse, now 36, spent her late teens and early 20s in and out of depression she was so devastated.

Lolita's elder sister Linda promised she could one day have her uterus - even though then it was impossible.

Then they heard of pioneering medical trials in Sweden looking for volunteers to undergo womb transplant.

The 'womb sisters' volunteered and mother-of-four Linda donated her womb to younger sister Lolita.

After IVF with her own eggs and partner's sperm overjoyed Lolita gave birth to Cash-Douglas in June 2015.

Now she is sharing pictures of the beautiful boy and telling her story to give other women hope.

He totters unsteadily like any other one-year-old, beaming and laughing towards the camera. Yet this beautiful 14-month-old boy, is in fact a walking, not-quite-talking medical miracle.

For little Cash-Douglas, who has big brown eyes and a determined gait, is one of the first children in the world to be born after a successful womb transplant.

His mother, 36-year-old Lolita Wästerlund, from Sweden, was born without a uterus after suffering from a rare medical condition. Yet in a pioneering operation, she was implanted with a womb donated by her sister, who had already given birth four times. Lolita then underwent IVF with her own eggs and her partner's sperm, and astonishingly carried her baby to term just over a year ago.

In an interview with MailOnline, Lolita and her sister, Linda, told of their incredible joy at the 'miracle' of Cash-Douglas's birth and described their hope that the experimental surgery will transform the fortunes of other women suffering from the condition.

'My life has taken a new turn, I am so happy. Just looking at him makes me smile,' Lolita told MailOnline. 'I still have a feeling that this is unreal... It should not have been able to happen, but it did.'

Beautiful miracle: Cash-Douglas, now 14 months old, was born after his mother underwent pioneering surgery to be implanted with her sister's uterus. He is the world's first baby to be born successfully after a womb transplant.
