'Pregnant man' expecting third baby

Thomas Beatie has announced that he will give birth to a third child.

The so-called "pregnant man", a transgender male formerly known as Tracy, underwent sexual reassignment therapy in 2002. The former Hawaiian beauty queen retained his female reproductive organs in the hopes that he would someday have children.

Beatie garnered international attention after an April 2008 appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in which he, along with wife Nancy, announced their pregnancy. To break the news of the couple's third pregnancy, Beatie wrote in to The Advocate.

"Hiding a pregnant man is like hiding an 800-pound gorilla," he said. "Nancy and I wanted to tell our story from our own mouths before it got out."

Thomas and Nancy Beatie anticipate the birth of their third child at the end of February.
