Out of curiosity, has anyone ever heard of any?
Before any of you ask, no I am NOT considering having this done, I already have female reproductive organs, was born with them actually, LOL. A friend and I were debating whether or not it was possible for someone, born a male, to be able to carry a child, after extensive surgery, obviously.
If it's hasn't been done as yet, do any of you think that perhaps someday it will be a possibility?
NB: If anyone out there thinks this question or I am disgusting, repulsive, or sinful, please be so kind as to refrain from posting an answer. Thanks.

No but there are documented cases of biological females carrying a child to term OUTSIDE of her uterus..
I think if enough scientist took an intrest in the issues of trans folks alot more could be done to help normalize things for us...
Dont see that happening over night though..

Don't know of any cases of this. The fact that male pelvises are much narrower than female ones would complicate natural birth. There is also the fact that the implanted organs would likely be rejected by the host body. Also even is successfully implanted, they would be weakly attached and could basically rip out of place when the uterus becomes enlarged by the foetus. I suppose a pelvic transplant might be better, but there's also the problem of any surgical procedure involving nerves and the spine.

That just sounds weird. If it didn't take 100%, a baby could be created out side the uterus in the fallopian tubes or some other horrid situation. I don't think that a man's body would have the hormones to accomplish this. Interesting......

No this has not happened and probably will not ever happen due to the complexity of female reproduction as well as economic considerations. Even if it became possible in the future to do this, it would probably never make financial sense.

There haven't been any successful cases, and I don't think any doctors will actually be trying it LEGALLY any time soon. There are far too many complications for it to work well enough for it to become a common practice in the forseeable future.

I've never heard of it..and I think it would be quite far above what the medical profession is currently able to do...I think that it may be a possibility one day.
