Surprise and cryptic pregnancies where mothers are unaware of carrying an offspring are not uncommon. This surprise pregnancy story, however, is one for the records.
Philadelphians Kayden (29 years old) and Elijah Coleman (27 years old) were dating for a year when they had the surprise of their lives. On the outside, they seem like a happily married gay couple. But Kayden was actually born biologically female and had already been taking testosterone for five years when he learned about the pregnancy.
At first, the Colemans didn't find anything special about Kayden's extra belly weight, simply shoving it off as a lack of exercise. However, as his midsection grew, he began to complain of back aches and the two started joking that Kayden's belly could be carrying a bundle of joy.
She calls Kayden “Daddy” and Elijah “Poppy.” The couple said they plan on telling her the more unusual details of their family story once she turns five.
“Kids are a lot more understanding and receptive than adults. But I don’t plan on making a big deal out of it. I’ve never made a big deal out of it when telling anyone, because to me it’s not a big deal,” said Kayden.
Kayden is planning to have a hysterectomy as part of the final stages of his transition.
