"Her sister, Natalie, who also was conceived through in-vitro fertilization, in 1999 became the first "test-tube" baby to give birth."
Doesn't that contradict the main point of the story?

No, Louise was the world's first "test tube" baby. Her giving birth is the point of the story. I'm sure many IVF children have become parents, but Louise is special since she was the very first.

Actually the first test tube baby was destroyed before it could be brought to term when the university got wind of the experiment.
PBS did a documentary about the controversy over the process.
So this is merely the first test tube baby who was brought to term.
