Have you ever seen a man et pregnant, giving birth. Yes its now very possible because it happened once, and its going to happen more and more.
Who is Thomas Beatie?
Thomas Trace Beatie (born Tracy Lehuanani LaGondino; January 20, 1974) is a public speaker, author, and advocate for transgender and sexuality issues with a focus on trans fertility and reproductive rights.
Beatie, a trans man, had gender reassignment surgery in 2002 and became known as 'The Pregnant Man' after he became pregnant through artificial insemination in 2007. Beatie chose to become pregnant because his wife Nancy was infertile, doing so with cryogenic donated sperm.
Beatie's first pregnancy resulted in an ectopic pregnancy with triplets, requiring emergency surgery and resulting in the loss of all three fetuses. Beatie has since given birth to three children.
The couple filed for divorce in 2012. The Beatie case is the first of its kind on record, where a documented legal male gave birth within a traditional marriage to a woman, and for the first time, a court challenged a marriage where the husband gave birth.

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority yesterday refused to disclose if it knew about the birth.
Eggs
But a spokesman conceded it may have given advice on the procedure.
Beatie, 38, from Arizona, made headlines around the world in 2008.
He gave birth to a healthy daughter — then went on to have two more kids, both boys.
Gedis Grudsinskas, editor of Reproductive Biomedicine Online, said: “There is no medical reason why you could not use oestrogen to make the womb receptive.
“You would obtain donor eggs to be fertilised by donor sperm.”
In 2010 Beatie’s fellow American Scott Moore, from California, also gave birth.
He too had undergone transgender surgery.
And just six weeks ago a pregnant Israeli — 24-year-old Yuval Topper — was reported to have had a healthy baby boy.
