Jennifer Gobrecht, who is now 33, was 17 years old when she was told that she could never get pregnant and carry a baby. Why? Because she was born with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, which means that she has ovaries, but no uterus. It's not possible to carry a baby without a uterus.

"That was a very difficult thing to hear as a teenage girl who had dreams of being a loving mother," said Jennifer. "Like many young girls, I dreamed of how it would feel to grow a baby in my womb, to feel them kick inside me and those dreams disappeared."
