Mom’s Daily

Initially when I read about pregnant man, I thought it is an April’s Fool joke. Or is it another movie like the one starring Arnold Schwarzenegger where he got pregnant in the movie Junior. That movie is hilarious, by the way.

But apparently, it is not exactly a pregnant man but rather, an ex-lesbian who still have a womb but had gone for sex change to a man.

Thomas Beatie, who was born a woman, describes himself as a “transgender male” in the piece which says his decision to have a child “has been met with discrimination and outright derision by health care professionals”.

So, Mr. Beatie is half-man, half-woman and he successfully got pregnant. Now, I am a bit confuse. Did the sperm comes from him or was it another’s man sperm implanted with his wife’s egg and he carry the pregnancy through. Doh, I think you better head over to the original story and read it yourself.

Mr Beatie is legally male and lives with his wife, Nancy, in Bend, Oregon.

The couple, who have been together 10 years, wanted to have children.

Mrs Beatie, however, was unable to conceive, having suffered severe endometriosis and undergone a hysterectomy, her husband writes.

So the couple decided Mr Beatie should try to carry a baby.

He stopped the hormone injections and his periods returned, he writes.
