Photos: A Berlin man has become the first in Germany to give birth to a baby

A German man finally gives birth to a bouncy baby boy! A female transgender to male, but kept his/her female reproductive system.


The baby boy was born on March 18th this year in a home birth, as hospitals are required to write the name of the mother in their records when a child is born. The baby was delivered with the help of a midwife in the Neukölln area of Berlin.

On government records the new father, who is transgender, is registered as a man. This makes him the first male in Germany to give birth, Berlin newspapers reported on Monday.


He reportedly became pregnant through a sperm donation. Officially, the child does not have a mother, just a father.

Transgender people are able to give birth to children because even when a woman undergoes hormone therapy to become more physically masculine, they can retain female organs.
