She is the first woman in Britain to deliver a child by Caesarean section after receiving donor kidneys and a pancreas.

Her transplant operation was performed by leading surgeon Professor Nadey Hakim from St Mary's Hospital in London. The president of the International College of Surgeons, said: "This is extremely significant because there's always a risk that immuno-suppressant drugs will damage the foetus.

"And to have a normal pregnancy and a healthy baby when you've had diabetes and a double transplant is fantastic."

What wonderful, glorious news.
