Theoretically, a fetus could develop anywhere a placenta can attach itself to an organ that can sustain the fetus with nourishment but men do not have a uterus, which is required for pregnancy. In a normal pregnancy, a sperm fertilizes an egg in a woman's fallopian tube. The fertilized egg, or zygote, then moves through the tube, forming a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst. The blastocyst enters the woman's uterus, where it develops into an embryo, an organism in the first eight weeks of development, and then into a fetus.

Yes, it is 100% possible. Actually, I read some medical jornals in Europe where they actually had performed this. I believe the child was attached to the mans kidney otherwise waste products would just fill up inside the baby or inside the man. Another individual who's name I will not mentioned also experimented with this in the 40's. Expirements with animals have produced offspring in males, though health issues always arise... becuase it is not natural and not healthy, either the male or the child will probably die and the pain would probably be even more unbearable then what I've gone through with any of my 4 births. Finally, the baby would have to be cut out since the male has no natural opening that could accomodate delivery.

In theory, yes. While most ectopic pregnancies (in women) occur in the Fallopian tubes, 2% of ectopic pregnancies occur in the ovary, cervix, or are intraabdominal. While a fetus of ectopic pregnancy is typically not viable, very rarely, an abdominal pregnancy has been salvaged. In such a situation the placenta sits on the intraabdominal organs or the peritoneum and has found sufficient artery access (either the renal (kidney) or hepatic (liver) artery) to support a fetus to viability. Such a fetus will have to be delivered by laparotomy. However, the vast majority of abdominal pregnancies require intervention well before fetal viability because the risk of hemorrhage.
The successful ectopic abdominal pregnancy leads to theoretic possibility of deliberate human male pregnancy, but would carry the same risks of hemorrhage.

i am no expert but i am thinking outside the box.....actually u could have an equivalent of ectopic pregnancy - where the embryo could attach to one of your organs like your kidney or liver. However, this would first of all endanger your health to a great extent.....and i am not sure if you have the make up to support the pregnancy hormonally. Oh well.....I am wondering what brings about this question....there has to be more to the story.....

no.
You do not have a Uterus, which is where the baby lives until it is born.
You also lack the chromosomes, and hormones.
I will say this, speaking for medicine, I hope one day we find a way where men can :)

No it is NOT possible. The movie "twins" is just a science fiction movie if you ask me.

Since a baby grows inside a uterus...I would say no!

I wish this were true-then maybe men could appreciate and spoil us women when we are pregnant like they should!
