A British lesbian couple have become the first parents to have a baby carried in both of their wombs in a landmark shared motherhood procedure.

Jasmine Francis-Smith gave birth to Otis, their son, two months ago, using an egg that was implanted using IVF after it was first incubated by her wife, Donna.

The treatment offered by the London Womens Clinic involves one partner contributing and incubating the egg, while the other subsequently carries the foetus.

While more than 100 babies have been born to lesbian couples using artificial incubation, this procedure has gone one step further, with both parents participating.

Lance Cpl Donna Francis-Smith, 30, from Nottinghamshire, told The Telegraph: Were overwhelmed to be honest, its blown up massively.

You get a lot of same-sex couples where one person is doing the whole thing, and the one person is getting pregnant and giving birth, whereas with this were both involved in a massive way. Its definitely brought us closer together emotionally. Were a close couple anyway but we both have a special bond with Otis as well which was helped by the way weve done it.

Its my egg, and then they did the egg collection from me and then put it back into my body for 18 hours before being put into Jasmines body, and she became pregnant.

Neat.

Fun fact: Both China and Japan have impregnated mice with female DNA . So mammals have existed with 2 moms.

One day the human race might literally not need men anymore to reproduce. Crazy

Cloning doesn't require men or women.

Sounds like a completely unnecessary procedure for rich people.

Cool.

That sounds pointlessly risky for the fetus, but if they can reliably pull it off then whatever. It's a neat trick I guess.

I was thinking they actually transferred the baby or something. This just seems kind of like an okay cool thing.

This is as much of a worthless and risky procedure as cutting off your own arms and putting them on the otherside.

And there have probably been a pair of siamese twins that mothered a child.

It's extremely important that both mothers carry the child, otherwise one will get jealous of the other and come to resent it upon delivery

That would actually be kind of interesting, instead of just being a two insane lesbians that clearly cared more about a statement than the child's life.

Pretty much the name of this story. They dont actually care about the child or any possible complications down the road... they just have money to burn and want publicity. There are zero benefits for the fetus from this only possible complications :(
