Title: Pregnant Transmale Support?
Post by: PidgeTPN on November 25, 2017, 01:04:32 AM
I know this is talked about once in a while here in the forums (I've been woefully inactive or lurking for years on and off now, so I had to use the search function) but I'm curious if anyone knows of any transmale pregnancy support groups? I recently just found out I'm expecting my second child and, despite my dysphoria, I plan to see this through. I didn't have much of a support group outside of family and friends who couldn't understand what I was going through mentally, so if I can find something like that this time it would mean the world to me.

Thank you very much! My husband has been reminding me of that as often as he can. We're expecting the little one in July, so we have quite a way to go.

I will add my congratulations and of course my full support.

We don't have a pregnancy section for transmen but I would be happy to set one up if there is calling for it. It does seem a very important area.

Let me know if I can be of any help.

If there IS a bigger calling for it, that would be pretty cool. I know not every trans guy can handle it, which is absolutely alright. My mind only gets weird about it near the end once I'm REALLY showing.

Totally understood. It must be incredibly difficult for many men. Fortunately we are all different and that makes the world a lovely place.

I will leave it up to you guys to let me know what you want.

Check out the birthing and breast or chest feeding trans people and allies group on FB. Very supportive and awesome group.

Congratulations! In addition to the suggested group there is also the Trans Parents Network. Not super active but posts usually get a few responses in no time.

Good luck!

No, I'm male. Doesn't matter what point in my transition I'm at. My name and marker are legally changed because not every state demands you go through all of the possible surgeries before approving it.

The term "fully transitioned" is crap in my opinion. OP is male whether they have had any medical or even social transition. Medical transition doesn't change his gender, just his appearance.

Big hug! I can't add anything but wanted to congratulate you on the news, and wish you the best getting through this.

Hugs, Devlyn

⇧THIS!

PidgeTPN is correct. 

The moment you think "I'm male," you are.  He is simply a pregnant man, like so many before him, and so many that will come after him.  He simply has the parts that make pregnancy possible.

Again, congrats, PidgeTPN!
