Male Pregnancy


Every now and then a story comes along that just needs to be addressed and today I've got two of them! I think they both deserve individual entries though. We'll start with this little story about a FTM transgender that is pregnant.

Legally, and mostly biologically he is a male. He is legally married to his wife who is unable to have children. Lucky for them he retained his reproductive organs "just in case." Well, now he's pregnant. (Read the full story.)

While searching for this story I came across another oddity. A genetic man, an artist, who is pregnant. The fetus was implanted into his abdomen and he has successfully been carrying it. There is a lot of speculation as to whether or not this is true, but fascinating non-the-less. Check out the website: Male Pregnancy. Interesting stuff.

Can't possibly be true.  He would need a uterus to hold the fetus so the baby could be nourished through the placenta & umbilical cord. You can't just have a fetus hanging out in the abdomen!  Where would it be attached?  To his prostate?
