Pregnant Man Expecting Second Child!
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.

Would You Buy the Pregnant Man's Book?
Since announcing his pregnancy, I've been fascinated by transgender man, Thomas Beatie. Until he appeared on Oprah to tell his unique story, many were convinced the tale was a hoax. But, more than the biology of the situation, I've been captivated by the intense reactions people have had to his decision to have a child.
Pregnant Man Tells His Story to the World
As many of you know, Thomas Beatie, also known as the transgender pregnant man, appeared with his wife, Nancy, on Oprah yesterday to share their story with the world.
For the people who anticipated a freak show, it was anything but as the loving couple chatted with Oprah about their decision to have a baby and to make it public. Adding even more normalcy, Nancy's two daughters from a previous marriage were there supporting their mama and step–dad.
Pregnant Man to Appear on Oprah
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.
Is the Pregnant Man a Hoax?

For the Childless, Womb Transplants Are on the Horizon
Some women have known all their lives that they were meant to be mothers. When nature does not allow for a man and woman to procreate on their own, people can take alternative routes to building their families: adoption, surrogacy, and in vitro fertilization.
