The "pregnant man" who gave birth to a daughter earlier this year says he is expecting a second child.

Thomas Beatie, a married man who used to be a woman, has told America's ABC News that after giving birth to Susan on June 29 he did not go back on the male hormone testosterone so he could have another baby.

"I feel good," he told ABC News' Barbara Walters. "I had my checkups ... And everything is right on track."

Beatie, who lives with his wife Nancy in Bend, Oregon, said the baby is due on June 12.

Beatie was born a woman but underwent hormone therapy before he was legally declared a man.

He had a mastectomy but kept his female reproductive organs when he underwent a sex change in the late 1990s.

He and Nancy decided they wanted to start a family and he underwent artificial insemination late last year.

Walters said on her television talkshow, "The View," that Beatie had revealed his second pregnancy to her during an interview for a documentary to air on U.S. television Friday night.

Beatie spoke to Walters about Susan's birth, which was not via Caesarean section.

Prior to her birth, he released a photo showing his bearded face and pregnant belly. It sparked a worldwide media frenzy.

    • Okay...this does kinda creep me out a bit. My brain malfunctions when I see a man with a prego belly.

      I saw them on Oprah. They came across as a kindhearted loving couple just trying to live a life.

      ...aren't we all?

    • The more he does this, the more this is whole different story!

      This is a story about a woman who wants to be called a "man" (Look, I tried to explain, "I'm just a lesbian in a man's body, ok?) but doesn't want to be pidgeon-holed as "wishy washy" by having a baby (Hell, we tried that on our wives years ago! And it ain't gonna work now!) cuz "his" wife can't get pregnant (cuz you know we've used that excuse before! Huh, huh!), so "he" calls "himself" a "man" (And you know you've been beaten down by that one once or twice! Huh, huh!) but stands to make alot of money off the media attention (Everyman's dream! Sorry, boys, only a woman could pull this one off!)!

      Hey, this just goes to show "he" couldn't be a man because there isn't a man smart enough to pull off such a brilliant idea! Especially when there's a woman around! (If you didn't notice, guys, this fool does have a "wife." Huh, huh!)

      Don't hold onto your butts! Hold onto your vaginas!
