First Pregnant Man is Filipino

Article has been viewed by 836 visitors so far

The world’s first pregnant man, technically that is and not because of a beer belly (lol), is Tracy Lagundino, born in Hawaii to a Filipino father and a Caucasian mother. Technically because he legally became a man after undergoing a sex change operation – but kept her female reproductive organs. So of course, she will still get pregnant biologically, it is only her legal status that became male.

Thomas Beatie appeared in Oprah to announce his pregnancy. This is Tracy Lagondino or TracyLagundino before she became legally a man:

He also adopted the name Thomas Beatie when he legally became a man. He then got married but his wife, Nancy, was ironically the one who could not have children because her uterus had been removed to treat a medical problem. When Nancy and Thomas Beatie decided they wanted to have a child, Thomas stopped taking testosterone. This allowed his internal female reproductive organs to take over, and within four months after he stopped the testosterone, his menstruation returned, which meant he was ovulating again and could get pregnant. Artificial insemination did get him pregnant the first timebut he miscarried. This second pregnancy seems to be holding up and he expects to deliver in July.

After the baby arrives, they plan on being an average American couple. With Nancy as the mother and Thomas as father.

    Roxs, you are too prejudice. These people probably have more contributions to this world in one day than you in your entire lifetime.
