An Oregon transgendered man who used to be a woman says he is five months pregnant.

Thomas Beatie, who's expecting a girl, tells his story in a first-person account published in The Advocate magazine, that also includes a picture of him while he was 22 weeks pregnant.

Beatie, legally a male, lives with his wife, Nancy. He claims to have stopped taking his testosterone injections to get pregnant. "Sterilization is not a requirement for sex reassignment, so I decided to have chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy, but kept my reproductive rights," he wrote in the story for the gay and lesbian magazine.

"How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible," he adds. "Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am."

Beatie is expected to give birth in July.
