"A married man sensationally revealed yesterday that he is pregnant", says the front page of The Sun. It goes on to reveal the baby is due on July 3rd. Turning to page 8 I find that the baby was conceived using IVF after the wife had a hysterectomy and could no longer conceive. Apparently he was pregnant with a pair of twins last year but lost them due to complications.
It's something I've always fancied doing myself actually.

By LYNSEY HAYWOOD
THOMAS Beaties pregnancy comes 14 years after Arnold Schwarzeneggers film Junior in which the Hollywood muscleman starred as a man having a baby.
In the 1994 comedy, Arnie plays Alex Hesse, a scientist who invents a new super-fertility drug.
Hesse and Dr Larry Arbogast played by pint-size Danny DeVito test it by stealing an egg, fertilising it with Alexs sperm and implanting it in his abdominal cavity.
Their experiment is only supposed to last three months but Hesse becomes attached to his unborn child. He goes through various physical and emotional changes and nine months later gives birth to a girl in a caesarean op.
Arnie later told how he spent hours in doctors waiting rooms watching pregnant women to mimic how they behave.
--------------------------------------------------Tot Faces Life Of Hurt
By CAROL COOPER
Sun DoctorTHE baby girl being carried by this man could have been exposed to gender-bending hormones that would damage her for life.
Her private parts are likely to appear like a mans if the testosterone jabs taken to boost his masculinity have not worn off.
People are warned against child-bearing after any form of treatment that affects their gender.
The hormone jabs are given in slow-release doses every other month, so there is a chance some may still have had an impact on his body when he fell pregnant.
And this would have a devastating effect on the crucial early development of the unborn child. A babys private parts develop at around 11 weeks, when the substance may still be present.
There will be problems such as the psychological impact of finding daddy is actually mummy.
