The News About The Pregnant Man

There have been movies made about this. Remember the one where Billy Crystal was a pregnant man and I think there was one where Arnold Schwarzenegger played one. Well this is no movie this is for real.

Thomas Beatie of Bend, Oregon is pregnant. That’s Thomas and his wife are expecting a girl and Thomas is having the baby while his wife watches. However the secret to this pregnant man is that he use to be a woman.

Tracy LaGondino has had a chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy, but decided to keep the female reproductive organs. Tracy LaGondino, now Thomas Beatie is legally male and lives with his wife, Nancy. Nancy Beatie under went a hysterectomy after suffering severe endometriosis.

Using frozen sperm from a donor, Thomas Beatie was able to become pregnant twice, the first time the pregnancy was entopic and required surgery, but the second time it was a success. The pregnant man and his wife are expecting their daughter in July.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.
