The case in Germany mirrors that of Thomas Beatie in the US, pictured, who has given birth to three children and was the first man to ever give birth
A transgender man is the first in Europe to give birth to a baby after becoming pregnant through a sperm donor.
The unidentified man, who was born a woman, delivered the baby boy at home with a midwife in the poor Neukoellin district of Berlin.
He insisted on a home birth because he refused to be listed as the mother on any hospital documents - a legal requirement of in Germany.
The father, who maintained the reproductive organs of a woman, has been taking hormone replacement therapies for years to switch sexes.
Details about the sperm donor or any relationship information has been withheld from the public as the father wanted to protect his son from any attention.
