Did a graphic including a short-haired person, labeled "Your body during pregnancy" appear in an official King's College Hospital NHS poster in the UK, as social media posts claim? No, that's not true: A spokesperson for the King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust told Lead Stories the poster was not produced by the trust nor displayed at its hospitals. The image resembles a private U.S. company's educational materials.
The infographic appeared in a September 17, 2025 X post (archived here) on the @MyLordBebo account with the following text:
UK's National Health Service shows pregnant men on an informational poster.
So how does the baby pass through the male penis during birth?
This is what the post looked like on X at the time this fact check was written:

In response to an enquiry from Lead Stories, a spokesperson for the King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust emailed on September 17, 2025, writing...
This poster has not been produced by the Trust, nor is it on display in any of our hospitals.
Lead Stories used a screenshot of the meme to conduct an exact-match reverse image search on Google. That search (archived here) only produced multiple X account posts posting the same image of the framed infographic.
