Thomas Beatie Welcomes A Son!

Thomas Beatie, who the media has labeled as the "pregnant man," gave birth to his second child, a healthy baby boy early this morning (June 9), 20/20 reports.

Sources state that it was a "natural childbirth" and that the boy is not yet named. Beatie's wife, Nancy, 46, will reportedly breastfeed their son, as she did with their daughter, Susan Juliette, who was born last June.

Photos of a bearded Beatie with a pregnant belly caused quite a stir last year, leading to headlines about the world's first "pregnant man."

Thomas, 35, was born a woman and had his breasts surgically removed. He legally changed his gender from female to male. Beatie said that he retained his female sex organs because he intended one day to get pregnant.

Congratulations to Thomas and Nancy!

I'm confused. How is it that the wife is going to nurse the baby if the husband is the one that actually gave birth?

She is taking hormones to make her body produce milk...

Lindsey, I can't remember specifics now but it is possible to breastfeed having not given birth.

Congrats to the family on their new son!

lindsay, a woman can take synthetic hormones that mimic the hormones she would naturally produce after childbirth, and these can stimulate the breasts to produce milk.

any word on the little bundles name?

I think they are referring to him as the pregnant MAN because he legally changed his gender to MALE. So yes, he has a right to be called a man, despite having female organs. You don't call someone who isn't married a Mrs., why call someone who's changed to a Mr. a Ma'am?
