Pregnant man!
 

Has anybody heard this story? I can't post the link because I think the picture in the article as well as parts of the article itself are a little much, but google it. Completely freaky!

He/She apparently had a sex change at some point, and then got married (to a woman). But the internal female organs were not removed. Well, his wife was not able to conceive, so he had artificial insemination done on himself...

:eeeew

That is a correct rendition of the facts.

Re: Pregnant man!
 

Did you see the picture? Really weird!

Is right! Poor innocent baby!

Re: Pregnant man!
 

I'm going to come across as snarky, most likely. I don't mean it. But, what do you mean poor innocent baby?

This little girl will have 2 parents who wanted her in their lives badly enough to do something unconventional in order to have her. I know that's no promise that both parents will remain actively involved in her life, but seems a safe bet it's at least likely. I can think of a whole lot of babies who start things off a whole lot worse than that.

This child may always know comfort, care, a home and food on the table...
But this child will also know the circumstances in which they were conceived, the media coverage surrounding... the distain of many... and the great dillusion that there is nothing whatsoever wrong with the picture.

Re: Pregnant man!
 

Well I would hope that we all would agree the best thing for this baby is parents that would be a man and a woman.

I honestly feel sorry for this child. You get your identity from your parents and how confusing to have a mother that thinks she is a man.

I just don't see this as a stable home. Many homosexual marriages do not last and there are numbers to support that.

Its just sick... saw IT on Tv today and ick!!!!

Re: Pregnant man!
 

Wonder whose decision it was to leave the internal organs intact, the doctor's or the patient?

Re: Pregnant man!
 

I wonder if this he/she person is still taking hormone treatments. And if so, will this affect the fetus?

Re: Pregnant man!
 

He's not. He quit and waited for hormone levels to return to normal before conceiving.

Re: Pregnant man!
 

But I wonder if anyone really knows the long-lasting effects of that hormone treatments that he had to have used. I pray that the baby is born healthy. Heaven knows, this little one will already have some big strikes again him/her when they are born anyway. To be born with problems on top of that would just be horrid.

Re: Pregnant man!
 

That's my biggest concern, whether or not his hormone levels were normal before he conceived, those eggs have been there since he was born and were sitting there through all those treatments. No one really knows the long term implications of that.

Re: Pregnant man!
 

Well, in the picture that I saw he had facial hair, so I don't know. How long would the hormones stay in the system?

Re: Pregnant man!
 

Sorry posted the above before I finished the thread.

Re: Pregnant man!
 

This was a very good question! Perhaps, it was an economical issue. I read that sex change operations were very costly and maybe the budget dictated how much could be done in order to complete her transition.

Re: Pregnant man!
 

Can we just call it what it is? A pregnant WOMAN. I don't care what kind of surgery you have, surgery doesn't determine your gender.

She may look like a man and have some male parts, but she is still a woman.

Re: Pregnant man!
 

This is true.

Only time will tell the short and long term affects of these hormones on the baby.

Re: Pregnant man!
 

He/She had the sex organs left alone, intending to have a baby someday in the future. This was not unplanned; he/she was artificially inseminated and planned to carry this child as a pregnant "man". How weird is that?

What a crazy mixed up world.:tissue

It is all about publicity and IT sure got what IT wanted!
