Miracle: Thomas Beatie with daughter Susan Juliette

Thomas Beatie, better known as the world's first pregnant man, has sold a picture of his baby girl to an American magazine for a rumoured $300,000
(Rs 1.2 crore).

Transgender Beatie is shown cradling four-week-old Susan Juliette as she rests on a bed in the photo.

Susan Juliette was born 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," Beatie said, 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."

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.
