Mate, are you for real??? Every male I have known, would rather NOT have the experience of being pregnant. Perhaps in reality, you are more towards being a female, then a male? Be honest with yourself? Are you jealouse of females because they can give birth to our off spring? Even a sex change won't help you here mate, as males in todays world, cannot get pregnant. However in the near future, I do believe that males could become pregnant. Would you get turned on, by gaining weight, morning sickness, having to lump around an extra 10 kgs for 9 months, then go through all the pain to deliver your baby, either naturally or by operation? What about not being able to drink the beer or smoke all that time, common, let's just be happy we are males!

Being a male, I can empathize with this question. It is not about a confusion of sexual identity. It is not about the unpleasant physical characteristics associated with being pregnant. It is about the disappointment a man can feel due to the fact that a male can never experience the emotional fulfillment that a women often express with regard to carrying, growing, and then giving birth of another individual, independent, human being. It isn't about envying women. It is about the missed opportunity on an emotional level of ever being able to experience such a maternal enatic event. How to come to terms with not ever being able to experience that event would be the same as overcoming any other disappointment. However, the emotional value in being pregnant, carrying a baby and giving birth just isn't going to happen! A male who has the emotional sensitivity needed to ask this question is, simply stated, a unique male with the capacity of a higher emotional IQ to those things in the world which surround him. Unfortunately, although he feels disappointment, it is not to the degree of being devastated or paralyzed. It is merely, disappointment. Since he can not physically become pregnant, he is "stuck with" the reality of his disappointment. I don't think there is a way to come to terms with it.

I must admit that this is the first time in my life that I have ever heard of a male expressing "disappointment" over not being able to be pregnant. You are going to have to reconcile this with yourself, because there is no reason that you should feel any "disappointment". It is one of the very few areas in which nature has made man and woman distinct. One may be curious about the different physical sensations experienced by male and female, from the point of view of either, but emotions and thoughts should not dwell on the impossible or highly improbable. You need to focus on the positive, on things you can experience, rather than the negative, on those you cannot. People do this every day, for a host of reasons. I would have liked to have been more artisticly creative, but I feel no "disappointment" in my failure to achieve this goal. I am encumbered with the creativity of a tree stump and have grown to accept the situation. It would not profit me to fight the situation. Nothing will be accomplished by fretting over the impossible when there is so much more in the realm of the possible. So it goes. [K. Vonnegut]

Since there isn't much you can do to simulate the experience of pregnancy, maybe considering the flipside of the coin will balance things out for you. Although truly, pregnancy is for many women a time of delight and wonder, it is full of aches, pains, anxieties. There are things you can't eat, smells that are suddenly sickening, you feel like a whale in a dollhouse at times, your seatbelt doesn't fit except around your neck, someone else has to tie your shoes, and you can look forward to having to lose all that weight! In the last month of so you are tired of the whole thing and just want to get it over with, but are anxious about the health of the baby and often you aren't getting enough sleep. You are getting kicked in the ribs and the back and every time you laugh or cough, you pee! Pregnancy itself, aside from the obvious reward at the end of the process, is not a picnic for many women. As the father in the equation, most women would welcome you feeling the kicks, patting or stroking the unborn child, reading and singing to it, talking to it, and doing what you can to contribute to the comfort and joyfulness of the family. This allows you, the dad, to bond with the baby before birth, which may be what you feel you are missing out on. Maybe this will help you come to terms.

I am not trying to be a smart ass in anyway. Are you gay? Or maybe a man born with a females brain? Maybe you are using this to hide the fact you envy more than pregnacny about women. Really are you gay? Say you are gay to yourself see if it sounds right to you.

This cannot possibly be a "real" question, can it? LOL

This type of feeling or regret is not uncommon. Many men have felt the same disappointing feeling because they are not able to be pregnant. Usually these feelings are brought on during the time of their partners pregnancy. Some men worry, care, and want to experience everything with their significant other, so much so, that they will regret not being able to undergo this particular process causing them to become in some cases extremely depressed. Some men even begin to mimic the symptoms of the pregnant female. i.e.: morning sickness, nausea, and things such as increased sensitivity to certain foods or textures. There is no need to be ashamed of these feelings, they are perfectly normal. Hope this was helpful.

try getting kidney stone then squeezing them out... maybe then you won't really want to be pregnant.. hmm?

Think of all the women out there who will never be able to get pregnant because of whatever (medical) reasons. They are instinctually and socially driven to have children. I not trying to downplay your emotions, but wouldn't you say the pain they feel is worse than the pain you feel?

maybe you have been watching too much oprah or lifetime, but pregnancy is not some magical, wonderful experience. its 9 months of bloating, puking, stretch marks, mood swings, flat feet, and general hell all culminating in a eight pound human being kicking its way from between your legs, and thats the easy part. follow that with dirty diapers, constant crying, no sleep, and not having one minute to yourself for at least the next five years. that is really something to be envious of.
