Oregon: 'Pregnant man' gave birth to a daughter earlier this year

The 'pregnant man' who gave birth to a daughter earlier this year says he is expecting a second child.

Thomas Beatie, a married man who used to be a woman, has told America's ABC News that after giving birth to Susan on June 29 he did not go back on the male hormone testosterone so he could have another baby.

"I feel good," he said. "I had my checkups ... And everything is right on track."

Beatie, who lives with his wife Nancy in Oregon, said the baby is due on June 12.

Beatie was born a woman but underwent hormone therapy before he was legally declared a man.

He had a mastectomy but kept his female reproductive organs when he underwent a sex change in the late 1990s.

He and Nancy decided they wanted to start a family and he underwent artificial insemination late last year.
Walters said on her television talkshow, "The View," that Beatie had revealed his second pregnancy to her during an interview for a documentary to air on US television tonight.

Beatie spoke to Walters about Susan's birth, which was not via Caesarean section.

Prior to her birth, he released a photo showing his bearded face and pregnant belly. It sparked a worldwide media frenzy.

In April, while he was expecting baby Susan, Beatie told US daytime TV queen Oprah Winfrey: "I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn't define who I am." "It's not a male or female desire to want to have a child. It's a human need. I'm a person and I have the right to a biological child."

He once boasted that the only difference between him and other mothers was that he could not breastfeed.

Nancy, 46, who is infertile, has been breast-feeding Susan for the past four months.
