Pregnant Man Thomas Beatie Due in Four Weeks!!
The world's first pregnant man talks about his pregnancy, getting ready for the birth of his daughter, and having more children. Here is a little excerpt from the interview.
On being pregnant: Everything has been excellent. I have been so lucky. I didn't have any discomfort or ailments. In fact when I found out I was pregnant I went online and read how a lot of women suffer back pain but I haven't had any. It has been remarkably easy.
Do you think that the fact that he doesn't have any breast contributed to the lack of back pain? Most pregnant women's breast greatly increase with pregnancy and all the extra weight can cause back pain. I guess that is just one benefit of being a pregnant man.
On preparing for his daughter: I'm 36 weeks now and almost due. I feel fantastic. Every day Nancy and I think about how we just cannot wait to hold our daughter for the first time, to finally touch her and see her face. We have her nursery ready and her diapers are lined up in her bedroom. Everything is ready to go. We have even picked a name which we are both love - although we're waiting until she is born before we tell anyone.
On having more children: All the people who really know us an love us, our family and family, have been incredibly supportive. So much so we might even have more children. We will just see what the experience is like with our daughter's arrival first and then give it some thought.
I wonder how much money the first photo of a child born from a man gets? I know it wont even be close to what the Jolie-Pitt twins first pics will get, but I am sure it will be a pretty good chunk of change.
Tell me what you think. Was this transsexual's pregnancy worthy of all the media attention it received? And do you think a second child will get the same attention as the first?
