Thomas Beatie is a Pregnant Man

Could this be true?  I've been waiting for something like this to happen since 13 years ago when I had to watch a video in heath class regarding childbirth.  I remember thinking it would be neat to have a guy go through labor but I didn't think it was really possible.


Thomas Beatie is a transgendered man who lives in Oregon. When he had his operation to to change from a female to a male, he kept his reproductive organs.  He is legally a man now and married to a woman.  He is five months pregnant and expecting a baby girl.  

A total surprise this was when I first heard it. A pregnant man? I guess he would be the person to ask this question, "which hurts more, getting kicked in the balls or having labor?  ...hehe
