Yuval Topper, 24, an Israeli transgender man, gave birth at the Sheba Medical Center Thursday evening.

Topper is the first Israeli transgender man to become pregnant and give birth. He underwent a sex change operation some three years ago.

Topper's contractions began Thursday evening while traveling en route to Jerusalem. As result of heavy traffic, he and his partner decided to head to the Sheba medical center, near Tel Aviv.

A transgender man has shocked Israelis by becoming the first in the Middle East country to give birth to a baby, similar to a case involving a transgender U.S. man who had three children.

Yuval Topper, who reportedly stunned hospital staff in September when he showed up in the emergency room seven months pregnant, has recently given birth, the Israeli news site reports. Ynetnews did not reveal the sex of the baby, which was delivered at Sheba Medical Center.

Topper, 24, was born a woman and had a sex change operation three years ago, Ynetnews reports.
