What is it called when a man gets pregnant?

Published in Transgender Pregnancy 1 min read

The term for a man getting pregnant is "male pregnancy". While it's not possible for a cisgender man to become pregnant due to their biological makeup, transgender men who have not had their uterus or ovaries removed can become pregnant.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Cisgender men: Cisgender men are biologically male and do not have the necessary reproductive organs to carry a pregnancy.
  • Transgender men: Transgender men may have been assigned female at birth and may still have a uterus and ovaries. If they choose not to undergo surgery to remove these organs, they can become pregnant.
