PREGNANT man Thomas Beatie has given birth to a healthy baby girl.

 

 

The tot had been due to be delivered yesterday by Caesarean section.

 

 

But bearded transsexual Thomas went into labour early and had to be rushed to hospital.

 

 

Last night Thomas, 34, and wife Nancy were pictured leaving the clinic with the baby girl he calls his “little miracle”.

 

 

The tot was delivered in secret on Sunday in a special section of the hospital away from the other mums.

 

Callers phoning the maternity ward were sternly told there was no Thomas or Nancy Beatie.

 

 

A hospital source said: “Thomas gave birth without any problems at all, but amid tight security.

 

 

Burly

 

“The baby girl is healthy and mother — or father — and baby have been allowed to leave the hospital.”

 

 

The new family were discharged yesterday from the St Charles Medical Center in Bend, Oregon.

 

 

A maternity nurse followed, carrying the new arrival hidden under a blanket.

 

 

The family was escorted away by a team of burly female security guards.

 

 

Thomas — who was born female but became a man in his 20s — is now hoping to strike a £500,000 deal for the exclusive first pictures of his baby.

 

 

He has also had a documentary team following him during the last months of his pregnancy.

 

Thomas caused outrage worldwide when he announced he was pregnant — and proved it by releasing a photo showing his belly.

 

 

The real-life Mr Mum was born Tracy Lagondino and lived in Hawaii.

 

 

He fell in love with Nancy and had a sex change because Hawaiian law bars same-sex marriages.

 

Thomas took testosterone pills, had his breasts removed and then legally became a man.

 

 

But he kept his ovaries and womb because Nancy, who has two grown-up children, had undergone a hysterectomy 20 years ago.

 

When they decided to try for a baby, Thomas stopped his testosterone treatment so that he could start ovulating again.

 

 

A year later he fell pregnant with twins using donor sperm, but lost them after developing life-threatening complications.

 

 

He then became pregnant again using a special syringe from a vet who helped out after doctors and baby clinics turned them away.

 

 

Just weeks ago, Thomas told of his joy ahead of the new arrival. He said: “We’re so excited. I just cannot wait to hold her in my arms and be a father.”

 

 

But despite the controversy he said his pregnancy felt natural.

 

 

Thomas said: “It’s been excellent. I feel fantastic. I’ve been so lucky.

 

 

“I can’t believe she’s inside me. She’s our little miracle. I’m just looking forward to holding her for the first time, to finally get to touch her and see her face.

 

 

“It was a dream that Nancy and I’ve had for a long time, to start a family together.”

 

 

And Thomas said the pregnancy had gone so well, the couple were looking forward to MORE children.

 

 

He explained: “It’s in our thoughts. We’ll see what the experience is like with our daughter’s arrival first and then give it some more thought.

 

 

“We’re deeply in love. I’m stable and confident being the man I am. Having this baby doesn’t make me less of a man.”

 

 

That's...really weird.

 

But congratulations to them.

Not a man then? Still, some folk will do anything for half a million quid...just a shame there's trash out there that will pay for it and trash to read it.

I'm sorry, but how is a woman who had a sex change op but decided to keep their female reproductive organs a man?

Well 'he' didn't have an op at all! 'He' just took testosterone pills to give 'him' male characteristics like facial hair, deeper voice etc.

 

That legally makes 'him' a man apparently and so he married his wife.

 

EDIT: Oh yeah he had his breasts removed so I suppose he did have an op..

I think it's very strange, but good luck to them! I feel that cashing in on it is wrong however and I wonder how the child will be treated in school.

It´s not a man... it´s just a mutilated and deformed women. The article says no word about the kid´s father tough. The whole situation is far from being "health" IMO, so I just can´t say "congratulations". But wish the best for the baby...

I think we have more to worry about than a man giving birth, his life style choice is up to him and nobody else
