Please forgive me, but what in the world are you talking about?
I looked up what an "artificial womb" is, and it's a theoretical device that hasn't even been built yet, like a heart and lung machine, but for developing a human child inside. If it's even possible to build, it would be the size of a small car.
Maybe you were talking about a Uterus transplant?
Uterus transplants for transgender women are theoretically possible, but they are hugely risky, like any other organ transplant. You'd need to keep your system flooded with anti-rejection drugs.
Also, no one is doing it yet. So far it has only been tested on women and the soonest it might start happening is 5 years in the future.
Note that it would also still be impossible to give birth to a child naturally, since the birth canal would not be able to stretch properly, so you'd have to get a c-section.
I can understand why you might still want to do this, but honestly, the tech isn't ready yet.
