Thomas Beatie: Expecting Second Child

Thomas Beatie, the controversial "pregnant man" who gave birth to a daughter earlier this year, reveals to Barbara Walters in an exclusive interview that he is pregnant again with his second child.

Thomas Beatie, a transgender, welcomed a baby girl, Susan, June 29. Since sharing the story of Susan's birth with ABC News, he and his wife, Nancy Beatie, hadn't spoken to the media until they sat down last month with Walters.

Thomas Beatie, who is in his first trimester, tells Walters he did not go back on the male hormone testosterone after Susan's birth so he could have another baby.

"I feel good," he said. "I had my checkups with my hormone level, as far as the HCG. And everything is right on track." He says the baby is due June 12.

Thomas Beatie also spoke to Walters about Susan's birth, which was not via Caesarean section. He was in labor for 40 hours; Nancy Beatie cut the umbilical cord.

Yup, this story was really hot mid this year. He was interviewed by Oprah too. There was one of the photos of him, topless, that shows the mark of the breast he surgically removed.

In a way, of course he looks tired. He is a female biologycally anyways. What women can say they're energized after carrying a baby for 9 months, being in labor for 40 hours and delivering it via natural birth?

But he chose to be a man and give birth at the same time. If I were him, I'd have died from exhaustion.
