Transgender pregnant from girl to boy

A transgender couple is about to become parents in Kerala's Kozhikode. Jahad and Jiya Paval, who have been living together for the last three years, told on social media that the child will be born in March. Jia has also shared a photo with Jihad. Jahad is seen as pregnant in the photo. This is the first such case in the country, a male transgender will give birth to a child.
Jiya Paval is a dancer. She was a man and became a transgender woman. Jahad was a girl and he became a male transgender. In order to become pregnant, Jahad stopped the process through which he was changing from female to male.
“We are about to fulfill my dream of being a mother and my partner's dream of being a father. An eight-month-old fetus is now in Jahad's stomach. I was not a woman by birth or body, but I had this dream of someone calling me 'mother'... It's been three years since we came together. Like my dream of becoming a mother, Jahad has a dream of becoming a father and today eight months of life is in his stomach with his consent.
When we started living together, we thought our lives should be different from other transgenders. Most transgender couples are ostracized by society and their families. We wanted a child so that even after our days in this world were over, we would have someone to belong to. When we decided to have a baby, Jahad was undergoing breast removal surgery, which was put on hold for the sake of pregnancy."
As per media reports, the couple had earlier planned to adopt a child and had also inquired about the process. But the legal process was challenging, as they are a transgender couple. That's why they retreated.
Jia has thanked her family and doctors for their support. Jahad will restart the process of becoming a man after giving birth to the child. Jiya said- We are hopeful of getting milk for the child from the breast milk bank in the medical college.
The Instagram post has received thousands of likes and comments and people are congratulating the couple. Internet users wished the duo all the best for their future. People are also commenting. One user wrote - Congratulations! This is the most beautiful thing we've seen on Instagram today. True love has no boundaries. More power to you.
Another user wrote - This is very beautiful. Thanks for breaking the rules of society. May your baby be healthy, best wishes. Another user said- Congratulations dear! Be happy and live long...God is with you.
