![]() If the setting permits, male-male reproduction is best achieved with a Uterine Replicator. See also Chest Burster and Ass Shove for the potential non-C-section routes of exit, and Pregnant Reptile for another trope about a character getting pregnant/giving birth when they shouldn't be able to. Compare Egg-Laying Male for when a biologically male character lays eggs. If the other parent is also male, you've got Homosexual Reproduction. Male volunteers, not wanting to risk their lives on such a venture, have not been forthcoming.įictional examples may involve Bizarre Alien Biology, Bizarre Alien Sexes, Bizarre Alien Reproduction, Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism, and Lactating Male. There's also no obvious route of exit, and the baby would have to be removed via c-section. note Unfortunately, the abdominal wall is not designed to detach from the placenta, resulting in massive bloody injury. A scientist was able to implant an embryo in the abdominal wall of a male baboon, and others report that it is indeed possible to get a man pregnant if the embryo is planted at the proper spot, but only if the man is pumped full of pregnancy hormones. This is theoretically possible in real life. note However, biologists have discovered that hormones similar to those found in pregnant female mammals are also active in the male seahorse, whose pouch lining becomes highly vasculatized to supply the embryos with oxygen and nutrients similar to a placenta, so for all intents and purposes it can actually be viewed as a pregnancy, so to speak. Not quite the same as a mammalian pregnancy (or the few fish and reptiles that birth live young), but it certainly appears as such to human eyes, especially when the young leave the pouch. In it, they receive and fertilize the egg cells of their mates, and carry them to term. The trope name comes from the fact that male seahorses have an egg pouch. Regardless of how it comes about, though, fanfic with this often turns into Kidfic. Sometimes MPreg is explained by the action taking place in the future, the pregnancy being of an explicitly supernatural nature, or the man being an alien, especially if the aliens are hermaphroditic but present as male to our eyes. ![]() ![]() It is often given no more explanation than The Power of Love overcoming biology. MPreg stories frequently result in the pregnant character being hit with a heavy dose of Ukefication.
