Pregnant Man Gives Birth…That Must Have Hurt!

It’s a girl for the “pregnant man.”

Thomas Beatie, who was impregnated after changing genders but keeping his female reproductive organs, delivered a healthy baby daughter Thursday, ABC News reported.

The 34-year-old transgendered man revealed his pregnancy in April, setting off an international furor. He underwent surgery for breast removal and began taking male hormones years ago.

The man with the wispy beard also legally changed his gender from male to female, married a woman and led his life as a man.

But Beatie retained the female organs he was born with with the intention of one day getting pregnant.

“I feel it’s not a male or female desire to have a child,” he told Oprah Winfrey.

“It’s a human need. I’m a person and I have the right to have a biological child.”

Beatie was impregnated with donor sperm, with his wife Nancy inseminating him at home.

He was reportedly scheduled for a Cesarean section, but details on the birth was not immediately released.
