Another pregnant man is making headlines. He and his mate are expecting a boy very soon.

His story: The man is Scott Moore, who grew up as Jessica. His parents helped him make the transition to being male at a young age.

Their story: Scott got to know his mate, Thomas, at a support group. Like Scott, Thomas was born female. The couple lives in California. Are they legally married?

Already dads: Thomas has two children from a prior relationship, and Scott has helped raise them. They have a catchy and affectionate name for Scott. When is the baby due?

History: Scott is the second pregnant man to come forward. The first was Thomas Beatie, who bore a baby when his wife couldn't. (Family pictures.)

What's the latest on them? (Interviews.)

Before Beatie: In the late 1990s, a man had a baby, but the event was not widely reported.

Thoughts? These pregnancies incite mixed reactions. Follow the debate.

Life imitates art: Pregnant men have long been the subject of science-fiction books.
