Transgender Man in Italy Discovered to be Pregnant During Transition

Marco, who had already undergone a mastectomy, is expected to continue with the pregnancy and will be legally registered as the father.

Marco, a transgender man undergoing transition in Italy, was found to be five months pregnant during a routine medical check-up.
Marco had already undergone a mastectomy and was preparing for a hysterectomy when the pregnancy was discovered.
Endocrinologist Dr. Giulia Senofonte advised immediate suspension of hormone therapy to avoid potential risks to the fetus, especially during the critical first trimester of pregnancy.
Marco is expected to continue with the pregnancy, making him part of a unique group known as 'seahorse dads' - transgender men who carry their own children.
Despite being the biological mother, Marco will be legally registered as the father of the child.
