*puts on my "let's actually take this ridiculous thing seriously for a minute" hat*

There's bacteria in the vagina and apparently for a baby to pick up some of this while being born is a good thing and helps create the healthy ecosystems of beneficial bacteria that we all normally have in our bodies. In fact, I've heard that too many C-sections can, after multiple generations of this, lead to people having less diverse and robust bacterial ecosystems and therefore women should, whenever possible, opt to not have a C-section if it's not actually necessary (also, you should not take antibiotics unless it's really important so you don't kill off any of your gut bacteria).

That said, I really can't imagine passing through an adult's colon would be an equally beneficial experience given that it's not meant for babies to come out of and there has been no evolutionary pressure to make it a baby-safe environment. It is merely a poop-safe environment. I suppose that if you're writing mpreg in an AU where men giving birth is a natural thing that can and does happen, you could hand-wave it as men having colons that clean themselves well and manage the bacteria that might be harmful to a baby.

Okay, but:

If by some miracle of medicine the baby managed to implant itself in the intestine wall and not die from lack of placenta supplying blood and oxygen and whatnot (as there is basically no oxygen in the colon) there is also the itty bitty problem of the baby growing in size and blocking the colon (if not outright tearing it apart, as it was not meant to be stretched). In which case all the, uh, poop and assorted bacteria will pop out into the peritoneal cavity causing blood poisoning and a painful, unpleasant death.

Mpreg pisses me off for many reasons.

That's the reason why the few times I see someone go into the detail and basically magically handwave their pregnant male into a functioning hermaphrodite, I'm happy.

That really depends. Some bacteria in the vagina can be dangerous to a baby - I'm a carrier of Strep B in my reproductive system, which would make it very risky for me to have a baby vaginally due to the elevated risk of it becoming infected with that. It's harmless to me, but it could be fatal to a baby.

No it's not quite like that. Strep B is a normal and pretty common, commensal in the vagina. It only matters during delivery if the waters break and the delivery becomes prolonged. At a certain point then midwives will give Mum IV antibiotics. You don't need to have a caesarian because of Strep B, it's very common and not something that midwives or obstetricians worry about, but it's always important to tell your midwife you've had it. Often it's not even there at the time of labour, it's not there all the time.

If I need to do that much hand waving to get a bloke pregnant, I'm just going to give him a uterus and be done with it. For one, that's an actual thing that happens.
