Thomas Beatie has given birth

Thomas Beatie made headlines worldwide earlier this year at the announcement of his pregnancy, the first of its kind.

The 34 year old has now given birth to a healthy baby girl in an Oregon hospital, the St Charles Medical Centre, as reported by ABC News.

A source told ABC the baby was "really cute" and that Beatie was resting.

Though he was born female, Beatie underwent a sex change operation a decade ago and became legally male.
