'Pregnant Man' Thomas Beatie Plans For Fourth Child

“Pregnant Man” Thomas Beatie and his wife, Nancy, are making plans to expand their history-making family. Transgender male Thomas made headlines in June 2008 when he became the first man to have a baby. The couple are now parents to Susan, 2-1/2, Austin, 20 months, and Jensen, seven months.

But amidst plans for another child, Thomas and Nancy are dealing with some very serious financial matters - the couple has been forced to file for bankruptcy and live on food stamps and their home was repossessed last year.

Thomas Beatie: "I Want To Be A Surrogate"

Thomas Beatie - who the media has labeled as the 'pregnant man' - tells Life & Style about his new mission to help families in need.

I want to be a surrogate,” he says. “When I was first approached with the idea, I thought it was crazy. Then I thought about what it means and what having a family means to us. I thought, This is a huge deal and I’m capable of it, why not?”

Style vs Sex Identity - 'Pregnant Man' Talks About Shiloh Jolie-Pitt

Style vs Sex Identity - 'Pregnant Man' Talks About Shiloh Jolie-Pitt

There is a great deal of ongoing chatter about the style of clothing worn by Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. The 4 year old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie generally appears in androgynous outfits that are throwing fuel on the fires of speculation. Recently Thomas Beatie - who is known as "the pregnant man" and is the first transgendered man to give birth - spoke to Life & Style about his opinion on the subject.

When you’re a child, you don’t really have a solid grasp of what male and female are. Unless Shiloh actually identifies as being male, she is not transgender. Gender is largely a state of mind, and I’m sure if asked, she would identify herself as a little girl.”

Thomas Beatie Welcomes Baby No. 3!

Thomas Beatie Welcomes Baby No. 3!

Thomas Beatie - who the media has labeled as the 'pregnant man' - and his wife Nancy have welcomed their third child, RadarOnline reports.

A source close to the family reveals that it's another boy for the Beaties:

“He’s got light brown hair and blue eyes. He’s very handsome and adorable, and he’s big and healthy,” revealed the source, who added that Beatie was only in the hospital on Sunday, July 25 for 24 hours before he was discharged.

The baby came so quickly, Thomas almost didn't make it to the hospital. “It was a very quick labor. He nearly didn’t make it to the hospital and almost had him in the car!” the source revealed.

“With their first child, Susan, Thomas was in the hospital for four days, and the next time with Austin he was there for two days,” the source said of Thomas' stay at the Oregon hospital where he gave birth to all three of his children naturally. “This time, their son was completely healthy so there was no reason to stay longer.”

Thomas and Nancy are already parents to daughter Susan, 2, and son Austin, 1.

Thomas, 35, was born a woman and had his breasts surgically removed. He legally changed his gender from female to male. Thomas said that he retained his female sex organs because he intended one day to get pregnant. Nancy, 46, is unable to have children because of a hysterectomy.

Congratulations to the Beatie family!

Thomas Beatie Is Pregnant Again

Nov 13, 2008 by NICOLE

The so-called "pregnant man" Thomas Beatie - who is still biologically a woman, even though he looks like and considers himself a man - is pregnant with his second child, he revealed to Barbara Walters. Thomas is in his first trimester, and told Walters he did not go back on testosterone after his first child Susan's birth 4 1/2 months ago on purpose, so he could have a second child.

"I feel good," he said. "I had my checkups with my hormone level, as far as the HCG. And everything is right on track."

The baby is due June 12. To see the interview, watch Barbara Walters' exclusive interview Friday on "20/20" at 10 p.m. ET.

Thomas Beatie, better known around the world as the Pregnant Man, can already sense that his 3-week-old daughter is easygoing and smart,
"She's easygoing and mellow and intelligent."
On June 29 at 8:55 p.m., Beatie, 34, a former woman, made history as perhaps the first legally transgender male to give birth, bringing into the world a 9 lbs., 5 oz. baby girl named Susan Juliette,
"She's so precious, I just can't stop staring at her," Thomas tells People in his first interview since giving birth. "Just holding her is the best feeling in the world."
Susan is named after Thomas' mother. She arrived after 40 hours of labor, with Nancy at Thomas' side acting as his coach,
"When Susan finally came out, it was like in slow motion," said Thomas. "I was full of wonder." Nancy agrees: "There were tears of joy." Thomas went on to say, "Susan is a miracle! And we're finally the family we've been dreaming of."
