"To hold this baby in my arms is a dream come true,"she said.
"He arrived with a healthy cry and totally oblivious to the fact he's entered the history books,"Dr Deans said.
"It was unbelievable, there was barely a dry eye in the room,"she said.
"After my hysterectomy I desperately wanted another child and I felt like there weren't many options for somebody in my situation,"she said.
"This gives hope to other women with uterine factor infertility that they can carry a child of their own without the need for other options such as adoption and surrogacy,"he said.
