Los Angeles: Thomas Beatie, also known as the Pregnant Man, said he is expecting another child, according to media reports on Saturday.
Beatie gave birth to a baby girl on June 29. He became pregnant with the help of sperm from a donor.
On Saturday, he told Barbara Walters of ABC news that he has stopped taking male hormones after the birth because he and his wife wanted to have another baby.
He said the second baby is due in early June.
"I had my checkups with my hormone level…everything is right on track," he said.
Beatie is legally male but was born female and underwent gender reassignment surgery and hormone treatment.
He kept his female reproductive organs so he and his wife could have a family.
