Thomas Beatie, aka the “Pregnant Man,” is expecting his third child in as many years, said People.com. The 36-year-old is a former woman who underwent a sex-change operation, married a woman, but kept his female reproductive organs. He generated national headlines in 2008 after he was photographed shirtless, sporting a pregnant belly. Beatie, who already has a daughter and a son, is the first known transgendered man to give birth.
