Pregnant Man Introduces Baby Girl to the World

After 40 hours of labor, Thomas Beatie—better known as the pregnant man—is thrilled to have his little girl by his side.

“She’s so precious, I just can’t stop staring at her,” Thomas told People magazine in his first interview since he and wife Nancy welcomed baby Susan Juliette. “Just holding her is the best feeling in the world.”

The baby, Susan, was born on June 29 at 8:55 p.m.

Beatie, 34, told the magazine, “When Susan finally came out, it was like in slow motion. I was full of wonder.” Wife Nancy agreed, “There were tears of joy.”

Susan, who Beatie says is “easygoing and mellow and intellegent,” was named after Thomas’ mother and conceived through artificial insemination with donor sperm.

Both dad and daughter are in wonderful health. “I weigh two pounds less than I did before I got pregnant,” Beatie said. “And I don’t have a single stretch mark!”

“Susan is a miracle! And we’re finally the family we’ve been dreaming of,” he added.

Pregnant man gives birth to baby girl

It’s a girl for Thomas Beatie, the so-called “pregnant man.”

Thomas Beatie, a transgender man, gave birth to a healthy girl on Friday, ABC News reports.

The 34-year-old, who was born a woman, had his breasts surgically removed and legally changed his gender from female to male.

Beatie has taken hormones and lived as a man for years but retained his female sex organs in order to have children.

“I actually opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day. I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn’t define who I am,” Beatie told Oprah Winfrey in April, when he came out to the world as the first “pregnant man.”

Beatie was impregnated with sperm from a donor.

His wife, Nancy, inseminated him at home with a syringe-like device they bought from a veterinarian that’s typically used to feed birds.

Beatie has an intact vagina, but he has not yet revealed how he delivered the baby.
