Thomas
Beatie, the controversial "pregnant
man," gave birth to his second child, a healthy baby boy,
early this morning, "20/20" has learned.
Sources close to the couple say that it was a "natural childbirth" and that they have not yet decided on the boy's name. Beatie's wife, Nancy, will be breastfeeding their son, as she did with their daughter, Susan Juliette, who was born last June.
Photos of a bearded Beatie with a pregnant belly caused a sensation last year, leading to headlines about the world's first "pregnant man."
Born a woman named Tracy, Thomas Beatie, now 35, had sex-reassignment surgery and legally changed his gender from female to male in Hawaii.
Beatie, who kept his female reproductive organs, says that he decided to bear children, when his wife Nancy, 46, was not able to.
The couple described their unusual path to parenthood in an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters last year, during which they revealed that Thomas was expecting a second
child.

I don't get how ''he'' had sexual reassignment surgery, either.
He still has female reproductive organs! What did they do- give him a subscription to Playboy, Field & Stream, and say ''Congrats! You're a
dude!''?
