Study finds 6‑9% of transmasculine people experience pregnancy

A systematic review published in *Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica* examined research on pregnancy and parenting among transmasculine individuals—those who identify as trans, nonbinary, or other gender‑expansive people assigned female at birth. The analysis found that a small but notable minority of transmasculine people experience pregnancy, with rates ranging from 6 % to 9 %, and that 4 % to 9 % go on to have children, including after completing transition.

The review also highlighted gaps in the literature. While miscarriage rates appeared higher among transmasculine parents, there was very limited data on postnatal depression in this population. The authors called for more comprehensive research to better understand the reproductive health and mental‑health needs of transmasculine people who become pregnant.

These findings underscore the importance of inclusive reproductive care and the need for targeted studies that address the specific challenges faced by transmasculine parents.
