Malachi Clarke always knew he wanted to have children and was delighted when he fell pregnant just months after meeting his partner Charlie. Here, he talks candidly to The Mirror about experiencing pregnancy as a man<\/h2>\n

Grinning from ear-to-ear as they play with their long-for son, dads Malachi Clarke and Charlie Bennett enjoyed every second of their unique road to parenthood.<\/p>\n

Malachi is the first female to male trans man in the UK ever to have conceived a baby naturally and went public about his experience of growing Baby A, who is almost two.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur son calls me Daddy while Charlie is Daddy,\u201d says Malachi. Explaining why he is speaking out, he says: \u201cWe want people to see there is a positive side to being trans. The media paints us as predators but we\u2019re just a couple getting on with life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe lead healthy, happy lives, and we want to be open that trans people can have families. You do have to stop your hormones but you don\u2019t need to freeze your eggs. If you\u2019re trans and you want to have kids naturally, go ahead because you can, like we did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just 17 when he came out as trans, Malachi, who was born female, went on the male hormone testosterone at 19 and had top surgery to remove his breasts at 20.<\/p>\n

An administrative palliative care worker, he met the love of his life, childcare professional Charlie three years ago. Coincidentally, he\u2019d stopped taking testosterone 18 months earlier because of severe acne \u2013 which can be a side effect of the hormone \u2013 making it easier for him to get pregnant naturally.<\/p>\n
