Remember that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was pregnant and gave birth to a child? It might sound as a science-fiction scenario, but there are already two cases of pregnant man. The idea of getting a man pregnant seems out of this world. Still, there have already been two instances when two men carried a pregnancy. How is it possible? One explanation would be that the two men were actually born women. As a result, they already had ovaries and the other necessary organs needed to become a pregnant man. This would be an explanation as to how these two had become pregnant. Still, it is not the only mean by which a pregnant man can carry a child.

If the pregnant man is not a transgender, then one solution would be an ectopic implantation. It is known that biological human males do not have the anatomy needed for natural embryonic and fetal development. The theoretical issue of a future pregnant man undergoing an ectopic pregnancy has been addressed by experts in the area of fertility medicine. Although it has never been attempted, it would provide extreme health risks to the hypothetical pregnant man.

In theory, there would be some advantages to a pregnant man, such as: the reduction of stereotypes. It has been believed since the dawn of time that only the woman can carry a child and attend to the house chores, while the man goes to work and brings home the money. The pregnant man can bring equality between the genders. Another advantage would be the freedom from restriction and limitation. Due to physical incapabilities, the man can now benefit from hormonal treatment and end up with a baby. This would be a wonderful thing, especially in same-sex couples, where the partners wish to give birth to a child. Last but not least, a special connection would be established between the pregnant man and the child. Men could now experience the wonder of a human being developing in the womb.

Although most of the people might regard the pregnant man as an unnatural thing and a freak of nature, science will have evolved a lot in the following years as to give men the possibility to give birth to a healthy child.
