An American man from Bend, Oregon named Beatie,34 has reportedly given birth to a baby girl which makes him the first man in the world to do such.
Beatie was originally a female but he had his breasts removed through surgery and has been living as a man ever since.
He conceived with sperm from a donor and was inseminated at home by his 45-year-old wife Nancy, using a do-it-yourself kit. Beatie reportedly spoke for the first time about the 40-hour labour, describing it as the ‘experience of a lifetime’
In his words:
"It was simply amazing and beautiful and is a moment I will cherish for the rest of my life.
"Everyone thought I was going to have a caesarean but I always knew I wanted a natural birth and I had one.
"As she was being born the midwife said she had this mass of dark hair like me.
"I could hear her words but I needed to see her for myself. And then she came out and my eyes just filled with tears. She was so beautiful and perfect in every way. I was overwhelmed with love and wonder and I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. I still can’t today."
The amazing part of the story is that their child is being breast-fed naturally by his wife whose breastmilk was stimulated by the suckling child.
