Thomas Beatie

Thomas Beatie, better known as the world’s first pregnant man. Is now know as the first man to have a baby. Mr Beatie was born female, named Tracy Lagondino, but had gender reassignment surgery and is now legally male and married to a woman. He decided to carry a baby for his wife, Nancy, because she had a hysterectomy years ago. He was able to get pregnant because he kept his female organs when he switched genders.

Transgender Mr Beatie is shown cradling four-week-old Susan Juliette as she rests on a bed in the photo published on the front cover of the celebrity title People.

Wearing a white dress with purple and green detail and a large bow, the baby bears a striking resemblance to her father.
Susan Juliette was born at the St Charles Medical Center in Bend, Oregon on June 29 weighing 9lbs, 5oz, three months after news of her pioneering conception made headlines across the world.
“She’s so precious, I just can’t stop staring at her,” Mr Beatie told the magazine, disclosing that the labour lasted 40 hours.
“When Susan finally came out, it was like in slow motion,” he said. “I was full of wonder.”
Mr Beatie, who was born a woman but is legally a man after undergoing partial sex change procedures ten years ago, fathered the child with sperm from an anonymous donor. He was able to do so because he had kept his reproductive organs.
His wife Nancy is breastfeeding the baby girl, using hormones and a breast pump to stimulate lactation.
