A man who was born a woman has carried and given birth to his own daughter, after his wife was unable to get pregnant,
Dailymail reports.
The man identified as Chris Rehs-Dupin, 33, and his wife Amy from Columbus, Ohio knew when they met and fell in love in their twenties, that they wanted a family.
Chris who was born Christina - was a pre-op transgender male at the time, they initially hoped that Amy could be the biological mother.
After five attempts of intrauterine insemination - fertility treatment that involves placing sperm inside a uterus to facilitate fertilisation – failed, Chris, who still had his female reproductive organs, volunteered to carry their baby instead.
He finally gave birth to their now two-year-old daughter, Hayden, naturally on December 20, 2014, after five rounds of IUI treatment and a miscarriage.
Having Hayden made Amy, now 33, even more determined to carry a baby herself and in 2016 she had a son, Milo, after a further round of IUI.
Explaining their unusual parenting arrangements, Amy said: 'We went through a lot of fertility treatments, until we finally reached a point where we needed to make a decision as to whether we were going to do more medical intervention or if we were going to switch bodies.
'We were fortunate enough to have two uteruses. So, after a lot of thought and emotion and difficulties we switched to Chris.'
And while Chris lived as a man and didn't feel female, he was willing to use his womb, for the good of their family.
