For the world’s first baby born to a woman with a transplanted womb — a medical first — only a victorious name would do. Which is why his parents named him "Vincent," meaning "to conquer," according to his mother.

對於世界上第一個──也是醫學首例──由有著移植子宮之婦女所生的嬰兒而言，唯有一個勝利的名字可以匹配。這是為什麼他的雙親把他取名為「文生」，意為「征服」，根據他的母親指出。

The 36-year-old Swedish mother learned she had no womb when she was 15 and was devastated. More than a decade later, she heard about research led by Dr. Mats Brannstrom, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Gothenburg, on transplanting wombs into women who didn’t have one. She immediately signed up.

這位36歲的瑞典媽媽，在她15歲時得知她沒有子宮，傷心欲絕。逾10年後，她聽聞，瑞典哥特堡大學的產科與婦科醫學教授麥斯‧布蘭斯特洛姆領導關於把子宮移植到沒有子宮之婦女身上的研究。她立刻報了名。

The woman’s mother had wanted to be a donor but wasn’t a match. Instead, she received her new womb from a 61-year-old family friend, who had previously had two sons.

這名婦女的母親本想當捐贈人，但配對不成功。取而代之地，她從一名已育有兩子的61歲家庭朋友身上，得到了她的新子宮。
