Britain’s first male mother

This particular man wants to remain anonymous because his history as a woman is not known to many of his pals. He’s Britain’s first male mother & he wants to live his life as a normal father. His daughter is now 11 months old & she’s his own biological daughter conceived by his own eggs. He himself is 27 year old.
He was in a gay relationship with a man but now they are not together & he alone is raising the kid. In fact, he had been living as a man for five years. He had legally changed his name and gender before he thought about getting pregnant with his partner.
This is the fourth case of its nature in the world. Thomas Beatie became famous in 2008 when he gave birth to a baby girl & then to a boy the following year. He was an American. It’s possible for those transgender men who were born women & still have functioning ovaries & uterus to become pregnant while living as a man. He was able to give birth last year as his womb was not removed during the sex change surgery.
The Mail on Sunday interviewed him.
He said: "It's not something I want to become famous for. I don't want everyone to know that I'm transgender."
Asked if he would speak about his experiences, he said: "I would certainly want to help people in an anonymous capacity but I wouldn't want to become famous for that, I wouldn't want to be known like Thomas Beatie. And I have to think of my daughter and I don't think it would be good for her."
This man also runs his blog & he has shared his experience.
Writing in a forum for transsexual parents, linked to the blog, he explains that his parents took the news of his pregnancy 'well'. He said: My mum's already told me that I'd be a good mummy and I said no, I'll be a good daddy.’
But he faced considerable opposition too within his family from an aunt.
In a post dated July 20, 2010, he writes: 'I've never heard anyone inject so much misery and disappointment into the word Hello…She wanted to know if I was going to stop being silly and become a woman again, she wanted to know if I was going to get rid of the silly new name I'd adopted. She wondered how on earth I'd cope when I was going against society in this manner, men don't have babies!...I think it's a combination of her WASP upbringing coupled with her conservatism and her Christianity that's making her reject the whole notion. You know what I really wanted to say to her but decided against it ... I really, really wanted to say, "If you think that men don't give birth then answer me this, where did Eve come from?"'
His daughter was born on March 15, 2011 & according to one of his posts, she’s ‘a little angel.’
But I also read that it has not been clear whether his partner is the one supplied the sperm or if it was someone else as he visited gay bars frequently before the birth of his child. So how the baby has been conceived is a bit of a mystery. His online account has now been de-activated.
Anyhow, this is some crucial info. Sex changes on the NHS became a right in July 1999 after the Appeal Court recognized that those who believed they were born into the wrong body had a legitimate illness. It was opposed by critics who said they had a psychological condition.
In 1999, the year sex changes became free, 49 people had the operation on the NHS in England. In 2009 that had increased to 137, according to The NHS Information Centre.

Pregnant women can be treated for cancer 'without harming baby'

In some cases women opt for an abortion, particularly when they are in the early stages of pregnancy and if the cancer is very aggressive.
Others risk their own survival by refusing treatment until after the baby is born.
A collection of research studies published in a special edition of The Lancet medical journal has offered reassurance for women as it was found that chemotherapy treatment after the first trimester does not harm the unborn child.
Researchers in Belgium followed up 70 children whose mothers were treated with chemotherapy while they were in the womb.
They were found to have normal development, IQ, hearing, heart function and general health. Those who were born prematurely had lower IQ scores, which is thought to be connected to the early birth rather than the drugs as this is seen in babies not exposed to chemotherapy, the researchers said.
The findings suggest early delivery so the mother can begin chemotherapy may affect the baby's health, the researchers said.

Abortion is safer than having a baby, doctors say



Alright. I just read that pregnant women should be informed that having an abortion is safer than having the baby. In fact the guidance is drawn up by 18 senior gynecologists, nurses and abortion providers.
"Women should be advised that abortion is generally safer than continuing a pregnancy to term."
There won’t be any psychological harm, if the woman decides to terminate her baby. Although rates of psychiatric illness and self-harm in women are higher among those who had an abortion.
Prof Patricia Casey said: “The message this sends out is very worrying. There are more than 30 studies showing an association between psychological trauma and abortion.”
Does this mean people should stop thinking about having babies? I think there are cases in which women are gang-raped & in such cases, they should be allowed to have an abortion & that too if they are willing to have one. No one needs to impose their god-damn opinion on others. I once read about this girl who was being raped by her father on a daily basis & when she got pregnant, she wanted to have the baby, but her parents didn’t allow her. All along her mother kept mum, but she couldn’t stand the idea of her daughter giving birth to that baby.
Prof Patricia Casey is saying there is an association between psychological trauma and abortion; at the same time, there is no evidence in this new study that termination itself is likely to trigger psychological problems. Who should we believe? We are not doctors, medical students & nurses. But if abortion is safer, then what does it imply? People will have babies anyway. In fact those who are not interested too have them, cause they are reckless bastards.They don't care.
Anyhow, the draft guidance from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is for all doctors, nurses and counselors advising women contemplating terminations.
There are times when the baby may have OI or other incurable diseases that may cause a lot of problem in the long run. Abortion is suggested in those cases. I’d like to share one of the passages…this woman had an abortion, but she didn’t feel great about it later on:
“Here’s what no one tells you…When you deliver a fetus, you get a death certificate, but not a birth certificate. And afterward, your milk comes in, & there’s nothing you can do to stop it. You can’t win. Either you have the baby & wear your pain on the outside, or you don’t have the baby, & you keep that ache in you forever. I know I didn’t do the wrong thing. But I don’t feel like I did the right thing, either…They gave me a choice & even now I wish they hadn’t.”
I’m not trying to make this write-up dramatic. Different people will look at the same situation in different ways.
