WOW! I just read this site I found on Straight Dope, posted by Jerry and Motoko Cullins: [http://www.malepregnancy.com/#](http://www.malepregnancy.com/#) :eek: :eek: :eek: I didn’t believe it, but there’s a link there to a CNN story and many others. Am I the last to hear about it, or does this shock anyone else? Also, I’d like to know what the consensus is here about males carrying babies. ---

The CNN stories (well, not the one about seahorses, but the sensational ones) are fake. ---

And males should carry babies using both hands wherever possible. ---

Thanx for the thread, Achernar, but it’s fairly old. The story I read said that the website was previously messed up so most people thought it was a hoax. But if it really is true, wouldn’t I have heard about it by now? I mean, that thread was from December 2001!!! I’m not THAT out of the loop! ---

I don’t believe it. I’m no doctor or anything but I’ve read repeatedly that a man’s pelvis would not be able to handle childbirth (never mind that there’s no um, outlet for the bambino). ---
