With four weeks to go, he sensationally reveals the couple are ready to have MORE BABIES after the birth of their daughter. And as well as posing for these amazing world exclusive pictures, Thomas opens up his family album to show unseen snaps of his life as a teenage beauty queen. Thomas—who changed sex ten years ago but kept his ovaries and womb so he could have children—told us: "I feel on top of the world. "I'm 36 weeks now and almost due but I feel fantastic. Every day Nancy a nd I think about how we just cannot wait to hold our daughter for the first time, to finally get to touch her and see her face. "We have her nursery ready and her diapers are lined up in her bedroom. Everything is ready to go. "We have even picked a name which we both love—although we're waiting until she is born before we tell anyone. All the people who really know us and love us, our friends and family, have been incredibly supportive. "So much so we might even have more children. We will just see what the experience is like with our daughter's arrival first and then give it some thought." Thomas, 34, posed naked for our fascinating new pictures which show just how extraordinary this pregnancy is as he even SHAVES while resting his elbow on his baby bump.

Ditto. Since when does having facial hair and being flat chested qualify you as being a man? This is a non story IMO. Whats the big deal exactly?
Thomas had his breasts removed ten years ago but chose to keep his female reproductive organs because Nancy, 45, had undergone a hysterectomy. When the time came, he had to stop taking his sex-change testosterone hormone so he could start ovulating again. He fell pregnant with twins on his first attempt using donor sperm bought from a cryogenic sperm bank. Thomas was inseminated by Nancy at home using a special syringe from a VET who looked after their pet birds—because a baby clinic turned them away. "I asked for a syringe without a needle," said Nancy. "They gave us one and we got our container of sperm." Thomas had an ectopic pregnancy and lost the embryos and a fallopian tube. But against the odds a second try worked—and the baby will be delivered by caesarean section by obstetrician Dr Kimberly James on July 3. so hold up...what part of him is the man? my conclusion: world's ugliest female gives birth.
I read about this a while back. I think it's disgusting that this w**** wants all this publicity. HE'S STILL A SHE, OBVIOUSLY.
Yup - and not being breast-fed isn't going to help either. Good job getting the mastectomy. I'm sorry, if you have a sex change because you feel that you are actually a man, you have no business having a baby.
In the "D&D", this nutjob would probably be lauded for its courage. Any objectors would be promptly shot down and labeled as bigots.
