Pregnant British man to be first to give birth after finding sperm donorhttp://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/pregnant-british-man-to-be-first-to-give-birth-after-finding-sperm-donor/ar-BBy1zfB?li=BBoPOOl&OCID=ansmsnnews11A man has revealed he has become the first British male to get pregnant.
Hayden Cross, 20, is legally male and is undergoing hormone treatment to complete his transition.
The unemployed former supermarket worker is now four months pregnant using donor sperm to have a baby.
He told The Sun on Sunday he found a donor using Facebook and put his transition from female to male on hold for a child.
Mr Cross was born a girl and has lived as a man for three years, taking male hormones during the period.
He said: "I want the baby to have the best. I’ll be the greatest dad."
During the course of his transition, he had asked the NHS to freeze his eggs before the process was completed to allow him to have children later in life.
But the NHS refused his request, prompting Mr Cross, from Gloucester, to use an anonymous sperm donor to go ahead with his pregnancy.
After giving birth, he says he plans to continue immediately with his transition process to remove his breasts and ovaries.
"I faced the prospect of not becoming the man I am supposed to be, physically, or a dad," he told The Sun on Sunday.
