> umm....ok, so "where" is he carrying this child?
The individual in question was born a woman, but is living now as a transgendered male. He had his breasts removed in his early teens, and was using androgen hormones to maintain secondary sex characteristics. His female partner cannot have a child, so he went off the hormones and began to ovulate. They got some donor sperm, and he had an ectopic pregnancy, resulting in loss of one fallopian tube. The second try resulted in a normal pregnancy. The concerns are that the androgen hormone regime may have persistently altered other hormones, so the fetus may experience an abnormal uterine environment.
