I've fantasized about carrying and giving birth to a child but am realistic enough to know it isn't likely in the near future

Besides i don't know if i would be tough enough to go through the birthing process

lol Rachael

[Guest Alice4016]

I'd go for it 100% absolutely!

[Guest Ashley fl]

mmhmmm!!!!!! in a heartbeat!! YES!!!! i was born to give birth , well in all aspects about me other then the born in wrong bod part , although i do an excelant job at trying to forget that part . financialy ill be going with a great dr in thailand in the next couple to three years , how much would a complete transplant cost and would the bank give me a loan for it

I know that there was a Penis transplanted already once (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14905485/). Since this is a possibility I was wondering if any of the FtM here looked into this. I found it very interesting that the receiver of this transplanted penis and his partner had psychological difficulties to accept this foreign piece even though it would have increase their quality of life.

Would you accept this foreign part as your own and hold it in your hand several times a day? Or would you just accept, that this foreign part makes your body more like a natural born male and therefore it would be kind of a tool? Or last but not least would you fully integrate and absorb this part as your own (the former “owner” gave it away so that you can be complete – therefore it is part of you now)

Sorry for the maybe weird wording. English is not my native language. But I'm trying hard.

I wouldn't want a part of somebody else's body unless it was completely necessary.

Your English is great, don't worry about it

[Guest Christina Hunter]

I think it would be great to be able to give birth but only if it was natural (through me being born a women) rather than it not being 100% yours through a transplant.

I really want to thank everyone for thinking and responding to this thread. It has given me much to think about. If I wasn't 62, I would be fine with a uterine transplant and donated egg. Since my sexual orientation is lesbian, I would want to store my sperm to use and if in a committed relationship, use one of her eggs and if not in a relationship, a donated egg. Also, at my age, neither a relationship nor giving birth are very likely.

Wow. This is THE most selfish sentiment I've ever read. Congrats! If you've never received a blue ribbon-I've just pinned one on yu. For the first time in years upon years I'm truly staggered by what another has said/typed. Consider, ours is a very hellish life-and we can choose to keep it a private hell, yu know. That anyone would even consider rollin' the dice on directly involving another in a life like ours that's so incredibly painful is nothing but appauling.

[Guest Michele H]

Sorry to hear you find your life to be hellish - I hope that you can find some joy in all of this. I have raised a number of children - none of whom are biologically mine and they are all great adults now. For each woman, the question of children is a very personal one. For me, the biological desire to give birth is very strong, for you apparently not and that is OK too. Thanks for adding your viewpoint to this thread

I really should’ve devoted more thought to this thread before posting the other night. Since then I have made time to sit and think about this and nothing’s changed. To start and putting it quite simply, there are some lines you just don’t cross. Granted, I’m on this site for a reason. If the opportunity (financial and otherwise) presented itself I would immediately begin my transition to female so as to have a body more conducive to my heart and mind. Not only would this provide me more physical freedom to function in public regarding my feminine mannerisms, it would also provide great peace of mind that my efforts to correct a mistake have paid off. I would be a much happier person in several facets. Personally, bein’ male is close enough to hell for me. It’s something I struggle with every day. Make no mistake about it, one of my dearest dreams is to be a woman and become pregnant by a warm, loving, and supportive man. I think pregnancy, the birth, breast feeding, and every aspect of the nurturing involved would be a very joyful and rewarding experience. This is part of my dream in which I’m a genetic female. I would never elect to undergo a uterus transplant so as to become pregnant as a transgendered girl. Not only is there the biochemical aspect to consider, but the impact on the child’s psyche that his/her mother was once male. I feel that one who would take advantage of such a surgery is quite the inconsiderate individual. It’s selfishly motivated. You (whoever would undergo this surgery) would follow through with something like this simply because you wanna become pregnant, not thinking about how this may adversely affect the child in question? Think about it, this is someone’s life we’re talkin’ about hear. Why roll the dice on putting that child at a serious disadvantage from the very start?

Hi,

Your right! I don't see what the problem would be to transplant sex organs, but how well would they work? Would implanted ovaries produce enough estrogin, and eggs? Would transplanted testicles produce sperm? It's my understanding that in a F to M sex change that they can make it look real good, no need for penis transplant if you can use your own flesh. The trouble is not being able to supplying enough blood to it to make it hard naturally. I'm 52, on blood pressure pills and pain medication for my back, I can't get it up anyhow, (screw Viagra I think that that's going to be one of those drugs you'll hear years from now that causes cancer, heart disease, or some other god awfull crud). Would a transplanted uterus in a male body be able to carry a child full term? I don't know. The guy that gave birth recently was female to begin with. Everything was in place from the git go.

I think the whole topic hinges on cost and availability of usable parts so to speak. I don't really think that's something that organ donor organizations really give much thought to. Supply and demand.

As for if I'd like to be pregnant. IN AN EVER LOVIN HEARTBEAT!!!!!!

[Guest Becky Lynn]

How joyous it would be to bare a child and especially a daughter. Not only so that I might know the emotional and physical aspects of childbirth , but also that which would come later. The nurturing of the child through her mother's milk and being able to see her grow into a woman and being able to help her along the way.

Very well said!!!

With each and ever lovin' heartbeat ever lovin' yourself more and more, I'm sure. Not once in that entire passage of yours did I read one thing (A concern, mayhaps?) about the child that would God forbid, result from this endeavor of yours. Yet another selfish sentiment, imagine that?.

I can see where you're coming from... But wouldn't a transplanted uterus result in offspring that yes, a transsexual would carry and raise and all that, but they wouldn't be genetically related, unless the donor was related to the transsexual?

God, this is a nightmare that I sometimes still can't believe I'm in. Okay, before I spring off on a tangent, let me point out that I fail to see where relation has the better part to do with all this.? For starters, I'm talkin' about one with male chromosomes electing to have a uterus implanted within them along with donated eggs soon thereafter, to eventually acheive the goal of conception. People this is crazy. This is the point in which you most directly involve someone else, someone else whom hasn't a choice in the matter. Think about it this way. When you came out to your Mamma or Daddy or whoever, they had a choice to either support or uninvolve themselves with you. An infant hardly has that luxury of freewill. And unless your just exceptionally passable and have a very decent man by your side, the kid's gonna find out that mommy hasn't always been one that normally becomes a mommy. If he dosen't you can bet your ***** ** the other kids (be it at school or wherever) will let him or her know. As for the biochemistry aspect of all this is concerned, who's to say they know for certain what's gonna happen. What I can tell you with certainty is that somebody's gonna scream, kick and holler to be the first in line to ******* labrat this thing and it's gonna be for all the wrong reasons.

[Guest amie]

I would like to apologize for the profanity on my last posting. I was well out of order for such. Despite how it may sound sometimes, I'm rilly not a witch or anything remotely close. Consider it a thing of the past.

Is it selfish for a woman to want to bear a child? Why should a man be differant? Why shouldn't a loving, caring, responsible man be given the opportunity to give birth if it would become possible? It's not just the childbirth, it's the whole parenting thing. Sure there'll be explaining to do, but what does that matter if the child is loved and well cared for? My wife teaches school, and too many of her students come from homes where they are not wanted. These "Women" screw around with any Tom D ick or Harry and when little Johnny or Susie comes along the mother just looks at them as another pain in the butt. They'd just as soon drop them in a dumpster if it were legal. You talk about selfish. Who suffers then? My wife and I are childless. My wife was never able to concieve a child. If I had the opportunity to step into her role I WOULD DO IT IN AN EVERLOVIN HEARTBEAT!

This thread was temporarily removed for a cooling down period. I've replaced it back here in the Male to Female forum but if it continues as it has been, it will be removed permanantly. Let's keep the dialogue on a civil, nonconfrontation level, people. It would be a shame to have to remove it because of uncontrolled emotionalism.

I would love to know what it is like to have a cild growing inside me & be a fully functioning woman. That would be awsom, I would pay whatever it took to get that.

As long as a child is loved and cared for, what does it matter if the mother is transgendered?

The precedence has already been set in gay and lesbian relationships that are raising children quite successfully, the only stipulation i believe should be considered is whether the mother is emotionally and mentally ready to have children. Then again this also applies to biologically born females.

You see so many neglected children on the streets these days that maybe laws should be introduced that require prospective parents to be licensed.

Go Bucks! Boo about last week, huh?

[Guest BrittaneyJ]

I would die to have the ability to bear a child. It brings tears to my eyess whenever I think that I will never be able to have kids as genetic girls do
