A transgender man is revealing how shocked he was to learn that he was pregnant almost a decade after he began to transition.

In 2013, about a year after they started dating, Kayden and Elijah Coleman of Philadelphia found themselves rushing to tie the knot.

Kayden 29, who was born female but was at that point a decade into gender reassignment therapy, was experiencing some back pain one day and asked his then-boyfriend Elijah to give him a massage.

‘It felt like there was a pillow under my stomach but there was no pillow,’ said Kayden of the moment he laid on his stomach.

Not only did it lead to a brief rift with Elijah's family, but Kayden's growing belly drew awkward glances, and one woman told him in a shop, "Honey, you look like you’re pregnant!"

He applauds the doctors and nurses but also says he felt like "an experiment" during his four-day labor, and struggled through postpartum depression for a year. "Now it feels great," Kayden tells the Daily Mirror. "I couldn’t imagine, and don’t want to imagine, life without her. She is amazing." Azaelia calls Kayden "Daddy" and Elijah "Poppy," and her parents plan to tell her about the unusual pregnancy when she is 5. "As long as Azaelia is loved and cared for, I doubt she’ll care
