Gay Dads Expecting their First Biological Child Together | See Pregnant Husband – PHOTOS
Two gay dads, Biff Chaplow and Trystan Reese who already have two adopted kids, are about to welcome their first biological child.
Though they loved being parents to their adopted children, Hailey and Riley, they always longed to have a baby of their own, so Trystan, who is transgender, tried to get pregnant and first managed to conceive in 2016 but they suffered a miscarriage at six weeks.
Luckily for the married couple, Trystan conceived and they confirmed that he’s due to give birth this summer, Mirror gathered.
Meanwhile, the pair have spoken of their delight as they prepare to welcome their first biological child.
In a post on their website, Trystan said that he felt some people are interested to know why he wanted to become pregnant as a transgender person, but were too afraid to ask.
According to him, some people think:
“Trans people were born into the wrong bodies, and we really hate our bodies, and that’s why we need to transition. For me, just transitioning normally – taking testosterone so that I have a beard and my voice is deep as it’s ever gonna get – and appear like a man… that’s enough for me. I never felt like I needed to change my body.
And I for sure do not hate my body. I feel like my body is awesome, I feel like it’s a gift to have been born with the body that I did. So if you can start to understand that, then it starts to make more sense that it would not seem totally bizarre for me to want to create and carry a baby.”
Biff also revealed in a podcast that both he and Trystan had been very cautious in the early stages of the pregnancy.
Trystan weighed himself “obsessively” and kept taking repeated pregnancy tests. Just before the six-week test, Trystan called the doctor to tell them he was a trans-dad and worried about what the experience would be like.
Trystan, on the other hand revealed in the podcast that he would feel people looking at his face for signs and remnants of womanhood because of his pregnancy.
“They kind of squint their eyes a little bit and I can tell they’re trying to take away my beard, they’re trying to de-transition me in their heads,” he said.
Congratulations to the couple. Wishing Tristan a safe delivery.
