Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1994 film directed by Ivan Reitman, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a scientist who gets pregnant....Wait, what!?No, really. Arnold plays Dr. Alexander Hesse who, with his partner Dr. Larry Arbogast (Danny DeVito), develops a drug that is supposed to help against miscarriages. After being denied research funding and a test subject, Alexander agrees to carry the baby after some convincing from Larry. Although it was initially to be a three-month test, he ends up carrying the baby to full term.No, really. He gives birth and everything. We get to see him all the way through the pregnancy. It's played mostly straight, but at least gives a somewhat interesting Character Development by breaking Alexander out of his shell. The baby also has a mother, Dr. Diana Reddin (Emma Thompson), who had (unknowingly) donated the ovum. Alexander and Diana start an unconventional family by the end.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Here We Go Again!: In the epilogue, when Angela (Larry's wife) thinks of having another baby but doesn't want to go through all the pregnancy again and Alexander says she doesn't have to. Then they all stare at Larry, who catches on and says "oh no." And runs off with Alexander chasing after him saying it won't be that bad.

Hand Wave: In order to make the Mister Seahorse premise a little more palatable, one character who pulls Dr. Hesse's (unlabeled) file notes that he's being given massive doses of various female hormones, the kind and quantity one would usually see given to someone preparing for a sex-change operation. In Real Life, something like this probably would be necessary, though so far the preliminary research and experimentation to figure all of this out hasn't been done, for lack of both sufficiently motivated researchers and volunteers to bear the unknown risks.
