Can men become pregnant?





A person who was born male and is living as a man cannot get pregnant. However, some transgender men and nonbinary people can.
In most cases, including cis-men who have sex with men, male pregnancy is not possible. New research in uterine transplants may mean that male pregnancy could be a possibility in the future, though.
In this article, we will discuss the difference between sex and gender before explaining more about transgender and male pregnancy.
