The first person born from in vitro fertilization on the Chinese mainland gave birth to her own child Monday morning, Xinhua News Agency reports.

Zheng Mengzhu, China’s first so-called test tube baby, delivered her child at Peking University Third Hospital in Beijing, according to the report. Zheng was born at the same hospital in March 1988.

IVF — or uniting sperm and egg cells in a laboratory setting — was a revolutionary technique pioneered during the late 1970s. Louise Brown, the first person ever conceived in a lab, was born in the U.K. in July 1978 and gave birth to her first son in 2007.

A few years later, in 2010, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Robert G. Edwards, the only surviving doctor to have performed the IVF procedure that conceived Brown. (Image: @BTV新闻 on Weibo)
