The world's first pregnant man, now given birth

A baby bump straining his T-shirt and sporting a straggly beard, this is the world's first pregnant man - just over six weeks from giving birth.

Thomas Beatie, 34, looked relaxed as he trimmed his lawn in Oregon, USA, wearing a top with the slogan Define Normal.

Married Thomas, born a woman, claimed he was like any mum-to-be and said: "To neighbours, my wife and I don't appear unusual."

He added: "Wanting to have a child is neither a male nor female desire, but a human desire."

Doing the household chores when your baby's due in a few weeks can prove exhausting work.

And, grass trimmer in hand and baby bump proudly on display, this could be just another suburban mum-to-be tending to the lawn - were it not for the wispy, telltale beard.

But the world's first pregnant man, Thomas Beatie, is determined to portray an air of everyday normality, even though he is set to create history when he gives birth in six weeks.

A man who was born a woman but underwent surgery and hormone treatment to change gender has made medical history by having a baby.

Thomas Beatie gave birth to a girl, believed to have been named Tracy, at a maternity unit in Oregon on June 29.

"The only thing different about me is that I can't breast-feed my baby. But a lot of mothers don't" - Thomas Beatie

Well good luck to them, and I hope the child does not get picked on because of this confused
