The now famous “pregnant man” Thomas Beatie is due to give birth to his first child in a month. Thomas has had a normal and healthy pregnancy after being artificially inseminated at home by his wife Nancy, who used a syringe they had to get from their veterinarian. Thomas and Nancy went on Oprah in April to discuss his pregnancy, and the mechanics behind it. The pair recently gave an interview to News of the World.
“I feel fantastic,” he said. “I cannot wait to see my baby’s face.” In a tender and intimate moment, Thomas shares a cuddle with wife Nancy—before telling the News of the World of his secret hopes for the future. With four weeks to go, he sensationally reveals the couple are ready to have MORE BABIES after the birth of their daughter.
And as well as posing for these amazing world exclusive pictures, Thomas opens up his family album to show unseen snaps of his life as a teenage beauty queen. Thomas—who changed sex ten years ago but kept his ovaries and womb so he could have children—told us: “I feel on top of the world. I’m 36 weeks now and almost due but 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 get to 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 both love—although we’re waiting until she is born before we tell anyone. All the people who really know us and love us, our friends 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.”
[From News of the World]
News of the World has some really interesting pictures of Thomas and Nancy on their website. We can’t post them here because they have exclusive rights, but they’re definitely worth a look. There’s a traditional pregnant belly picture with a shirtless Thomas and Nancy gazing down at his stomach. There’s also a really interesting picture of Thomas in a bubble bath, with his stomach poking out from the water. My favorite is Thomas shaving his face, his elbow resting on his bump.
On Oprah, Thomas’ doctor said he hadn’t taken testosterone in two years. If that’s the case, I’m a little curious about why it is he needs to shave his face. The thing that most struck me when looking at their photos, is that they don’t really seem that odd to me. I can’t explain it. Perhaps is because they seem like such a common, loving couple. Even when you look down, it takes a minute to register that something’s different.
Thomas and Nancy are clearly beyond excited for the birth of their new baby, and the possibility of expanding their family even further. Hopefully he’ll have an easy birth – he is scheduled for a c-section on July 3rd.

I think in previous posts (and in other news sources) it’s been reported that Nancy can’t get pregnant even though she’s tried before.
-
Ms. Piggy - his wife had a hysterectomy after severe endometriosis. She’s not able to have a baby.

LAME! It is two people looking for their 15 minutes of fame and they got what they wanted. He is still a she if it can have kids. I don’t get what the fuss is about. Let them go away!
-
they werent looking for fame Jessica. as they said, they wanted to be the ones totell their own story instead of having the tabloids called by the neighbors or whoever else was staring at them.
-
This is very sweet and all, but I don’t really get why it’s news. It’s not like he’s a *real man.
That’s not what I mean. He’s a real man, but his indoor plumming is all woman. Of course he can be pregnant because he was born a woman and that’s what his insides look like.
Now, show me a picture of a pregnant man with a man’s outdoor & indoor plumming, and that’s a story. Otherwise, this is just nature doing what it’s supposed to do. It just kinda LOOKS weird is all.
-
All psychological stuff aside, all politically correct stuff aside, physically this is a lesbian who had her breasts removed and takes testosterone to grow facial and body hair. Physically he is not a man. He has a uterus and ovaries. Show me a pregnant man who has a penis and then I’m impressed.
That said, I hope for the best for them both and their daughter.
-
I see a lot of therapy in that child’s future. If it’s a he, then a he by definition CANNOT HAVE ovaries and a womb. The best definition I’ve heard of this creature is a surgically mutilated lesbian.
-
i believe the law uses genitalia as the deciding factor in determining one’s gender, so technically and legally he is still a woman because he has a clitoris, vagina, uterus etc. i’m not saying people should be reduced to their body parts, but i am curious as to how this is a pregnant “man” when clearly he is a woman who removed her breasts & took testosterone to grow a beard. i really hope they don’t get any kind of show…they need to just be as normal as possible for the sake of the kid.
-
This is not a Man having a baby, it is a woman having a baby, plain and simple. Just because she wants to be a man and has taken extreme measures to do so does not make her a man. If she can bear a child he is a she. It is not an actual man giving birth.
-
Not meaning to offend but why the naked pics. I know it’s just a body but these are giving it a borderline freakish edge.
They seem lovely people, and I wish them well etc but, like syko said, this is a woman having a baby and, outside of celebrity-land, most pregnant women don’t feel the need to be photographed naked in the bath for public viewing. I find them disturbing. I don’t know why but I do.

re: I’m a little curious about why it is he needs to shave his face.
Im guessing if you take mad hormones for a few years and start shaving, the hairs gonna grow back. Hell, look at my legs. Who needs hormones?
-
geronimo - I find them quite disturbing too, happy for them but….
not a pretty sight, at all -
I also wanted to say that I found the pregnancy striations on his stomach really odd. I’ve never seen a horizontal one! Everyone I’ve ever known, and myself in three pregnancies, got the slight dark discoloration vertically on the stomach, but he’s got a big + on his. Odd.
-
I feel sorry for that poor child. Gives new meaning to “Yo’ Momma wears combat boots!”
-
I think y’all should stop being so judgemental and let them do what they want to do. Whether you think this person is a man with female organs still or just a “mutilated” lesbian, they are happy, excited, and about to have a new born baby. Why not just wish them well and stop talking about them?
-
A transgendered person is having a baby…
-
Tarnishedhalo - Because this is a section for comments, also known as ‘opinions’. The title says ‘Pregnant Man is Due in a Month’, so if people don’t think this is really a man, they’re well within bounds to say it.
Myself, and every man I know, cannot get pregnant. So yeah, this isn’t a man baby!
-
thank god scott F weighed in with his customary conclusiveness. I almost didnt know what to think until he told us all definitively.
-
Bros - No prob there! Always willing to nudge that last horse over the finish line, especially when they’re as nice as you are.
Seriously, what’s more pathetic? The guy that posts his opinions on a celeb site, or the person that follows him around feeling the need to let everyone know he’s a moron?
-
Congrats to Thomas and his wife, Nancy! Wising you all the best in this very judgmental and religious world!
-
haha, love him or hate him, Scott F. brings what he’s got and doesn’t apologize for it. Anytime I see someone get all salty and try to flip things on him, he comes right back– I love it. Makes my boring ass job go by much quicker!
-
THAT SHI^ IS NASTY! WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?? IS THIS WHAT DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM MEANS? IF SO LETS GO BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS NO FREEDOM, BUT MEN ARE MEN AND WOMEN ARE WOMEN NO CONFUSION!
-
It’s far from nasty. It’s two people in love, having a child together. I just don’t think he should be hyped as a man having a baby when physically he is not a man. I have a problem with the media, not with the relationship.
-
Half of all marriages end in divorce. The results are broken homes, kids who never get to see their parents, depression… If two people can provide a stable, loving environment for a child, who the hell cares what their genders are?
It’s obvious that these people will love their child and do what’s best for her. That’s more than can be said for a lot of so-called “normal” families.
-
If he’s wearing a shirt, he just looks like he has a big beer belly — maybe that’s why JayBird doesn’t think the photos are all that odd.
-
I am do delighted that a wanted baby is coming to loving couple. I am not gay, but have persons in my past and future life who are. Parenting is such a great experience and not indicated by sexual perference. How fortunate their daughter is to have two loving, hard working parents.

THIS STORY TOOK PLACE RIGHT WHERE I LIVE IN BEND OREGON….. YEARS A GO BEFORE IT BECAME A SNOB TOWN IT WAS A COWBOY HICK TOWN…. BACK IN THE EIGHTS AND SEVENTYS THIS STORY WOULD HAVE NEVER WENT PUBLIC FOR FEAR OF BEING BEAT UP OR HURT REALLY BAD!!! IT SURPISE ME HOW WE ARE NOW MAKING NEWS EVERY WHERE……..
-
I am happy that a couple that wants a child is able to have one.
That said…Thomas is not a Pregnant Man.
-
IT”S NOT A MAN….it’s a chick being a “man Wanna be”
-
surgically mutilated lesbian…that’s what it is! fame is fame.. if you want to be famous, go and make the most hilarious stuff ever..post it in any websites and i assure you someone famous will invite you to guest in their show
-
I tend to agree that the sensationalism of the “pregnant man” is overwhelming, but whatever. I also think the belly shots look photoshopped, but maybe it’s because I’m not used to looking at pregnant pictures with no breasts in them?
That being said, I really am happy for these ladies. I wish them and their daughter all the best life has to offer
-
It’s just wrong. You can’t be everything you want in one lifetime…I mean get real!!!Why are people losing it???? Poooooor kid….I hope he runs away and finds new parents somewhere….
-
Guess the kid will call him “MADDY” Talk about some gender confusion!
So who does the kid bring to the mommy and daughter banquet? hmmmmmm -
First of all, Thomas is not a natural man. She was surgically altered in the genitals. But when he kept the ovaries and uterus he’s a woman.
-
It is a women having a baby, just a women that wants to be a man. I wish both a wonderful life with their baby. Everyone has the right to be happy. B
ut, do not post “The first man having a baby” that is misleading.!
-
This whole story has been a joke, these two wanna-bees are setting up for failure and nobodys going to be hurt but this child.
Why wouyld this woman thAT WANTED TO BE A MAN WANT TO NOW ACT LIKE THE FEMALE SHE WAS BORN TO BE AND HAVE A BABY??
I think this is sick and against the bible, how can this baby be fed in an emergency? no tits 
They really need to find themselves a life
-
ha yea this is pretty sick. why would she want to be a man, and have a baby. the state of california recognizes thomas as a male. this is going to be one teased kid…

That is wonderful and I hope they have have a happy and safe birth. I am sure that they could get a show like jon and kate plus 8 from tlc if they wanted however, with all of the attention they may want to relax for awhile. I always wondered why nancy wasn’t the one to get pregnant? I don’t know if they ever said why he chose to do it or not but I always wondered anyone know why?
