A woman born without a uterus hopes to become a parent thanks to her mum who offered to be her womb donor.<\/p>\n
Dannielle Maydom has Mayer-Rokitansky-K\u00fcster-Hauser syndrome, a rare disorder which impacts the female reproductive system. The MRKH condition means the 28-year-old was born without a uterus, leaving her unable to have children of her own.<\/p>\n
But this year her mum Erica Turner, 48, said she would donate her womb to her daughter. It would potentially see Dannielle's growing a baby inside the same womb her parent did.<\/p>\n

Dannielle is currently single but hopes to become a mum one day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Erica, from Hertfordshire, said: "I have five kids and don't want anymore. Being Dannielle's mum, hopefully I would be a good match for her. I'd do or give anything for my children \u2013 if it helps.<\/p>\n
"I would find it amazing if Dannielle had her own child through my womb."<\/p>\n
Meanwhile her cousin, Jeanette, 39, has also offered her helping hand to be Dannielle's surrogate.<\/p>\n
Dannielle added: "Me and my cousin Jeanette are very close. But when she told me she would me a surrogate for me if I wanted, I was overcome with emotion. It's all so exciting."<\/p>\n
The hairdresser first realised something might be wrong at 16 when she didn't get her period, so went to the doctor.<\/p>\n

During the appointment, her mum, Erica, mentioned she was a "late bloomer" at 15. And at first, the doctor suggested Dannielle wait a few years to see if her periods would start later.<\/p>\n
Dannielle said: "I just knew something wasn't right. It is one of the strangest, most unsettling feelings."<\/p>\n
On her 18th birthday, Dannielle scheduled a second appointment with a doctor where she received devastating news.<\/p>\n
She revealed: "I can remember sitting with my mum and the doctor, and being told I had no uterus. I ran out of the room to try and find the most isolated space and sobbed for about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
"After my diagnosis I didn't leave my house for months. My dad, Stephen, was 39 when he passed away. I was 10 years old and I was his only child.<\/p>\n
"The thought of me never being able to carry on his bloodline haunted me."<\/p>\n

Dannielle spent the last 10 years processing and grieving for the future.<\/p>\n
MRKH syndrome is rare \u2013 affecting around one in 4,500 women in the UK. So she's never met someone with the same condition.<\/p>\n
But Dannielle has been emboldened by news of the UK's first ever successful womb transplant. And she has since contacted a member of the team who carried out the transplant in the hopes of getting a referral.<\/p>\n
She concluded: "It's so exciting. I would do pretty much anything to experience my own period and eventually carry on my family tree.<\/p>\n
"I really feel like this year has been a huge turning point, with my cousin's amazing offer and the groundbreaking trial. I almost feel like I've manifested it."<\/p>\n
