Transgender man Thomas Beatie’s non-trans wife cannot give birth or carry a child, so he is carrying their daughter. So how does it feel to be a pregnant man?

From his first person essay in The Advocate:

Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am. In a technical sense I see myself as my own surrogate, though my gender identity as male is constant. To Nancy, I am her husband carrying our child—I am so lucky to have such a loving, supportive wife. I will be my daughter’s father, and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family.

How many dads do you know who would have carried their own children if necessary? Dad of the day? Try dad of the year.
