Thomas Beatie, 34, was born a woman then began the process of changing sex, before halting the procedure to allow himself to be artificially inseminated using an anonymous donor’s sperm.
Mr Beatie is officially male and lives with his wife Nancy, 45, in Oregon, USA, but is carrying a baby and is due to give birth to it in six weeks.
He said: “We’re a happy couple deeply in love. My belly is growing with a new life inside me. I am stable and confident being the man I am.”
However, he added: “I always feel so bloated. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as man-ternity clothes.”
Mr Beatie, who was born Tracey Lagondino, began the sex change 10 years ago, with injections of the male hormone testosterone, which prompted the growth of thicker facial hair, and had a double mastectomy.
His pregnancy became public in March, when he was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey on her US television programme.
The couple have tried for children before but failed.
In 2006, he became pregnant with triplets but miscarried under intense criticism from his family, including his brother who said: “Who knows what kind of monster it would have been?”
