Chloe and Ellidy sit down with Prue Craven, to unpack her incredible journey to becoming Australia's third recipient of a Uterus transplant.

Prue has always wanted to be a mother, but as she reached puberty there was something missing. Her period. She then discovered she was born without a uterus due to Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) Syndrome: a rare congenital disorder that affects a woman's reproductive system.

After seven rounds of IVF and three failed surrogacy attempts, Prue became eligible for a uterus transplant... and she's now 3 months post surgery and ready to tell her story.
