Apparently men can get pregnant now?

Yes, in two very different cases:

Trans men can have a uterus, can get pregnant and bear children.

It is theoretically possible for an XY male to have an embryo implanted in their abdomen and it to develop as an ectopic pregnancy. This is discussed in wikipedia, and as they highlight that it is only a theoretical possibility, it would probably be fatal for both the parent and child:

Robert Winston, a pioneer of in-vitro fertilization, told London's Sunday Times that "male pregnancy would certainly be possible" by having an embryo implanted in a man's abdomen – with the placenta attached to an internal organ such as the bowel – and later delivered surgically. Ectopic implantation of the embryo along the abdominal wall, and resulting placenta growth would, however, be very dangerous and potentially fatal for the host, and is therefore unlikely to be studied in humans
