Thomas Beatie, better known as the Pregnant Man, said he is expecting his second child, media reported Saturday.
The 34-year-old, who gave birth to a baby girl on June 29, made the announcement in a television interview with Barbara Walters of ABC News.
After the birth, he told Walters, he did not resume taking male hormones because he and his wife Nancy wanted to have another baby.
The baby was due in early June. He felt good and everything was going well.

"I had my checkups with my hormone level... everything is right on track," he said.
