Pregnant Man

I'm sure you've all heard about Thomas Beatie, the man to first become pregnant and have a baby. He was originally born a female, but underwent six sex-change operations and took male hormones to become a man, and then legally married his partner Nancy. Since she's infertile, he kept his womb and ovaries intact in the hopes of having a family someday — they feel that having a baby is neither a male or female desire, but a human one. Before becoming pregnant, he stopped taking testosterone injections so his menstrual cycle would return. He gave birth to their first child last Summer and now the Beatie's are expecting their second child, due this June! To get a peek inside their lives, check out this video of their interview with Barbara Walters:

Last week, I asked you if you thought the pregnant man was a hoax and you were split on the issue.

But, the mystery is solved since Thomas Beatie is set to appear on today's Oprah. So if you have to see it to believe it, tune in and watch as they perform an ultrasound and show off the nursery.
