Can a male seahorse get pregnant?
The female seahorse deposits her eggs into an opening in the front of the male's body, and he keeps them into a pouch until they hatch, at which time they "squirt" out of him. The seahorse is not pregnant in the sense we think of pregancy, he is just carrying the eggs in a safe place in a specialised pouch for doing so.

Why do male seahorses get pregnant and not the female?
The female produces the eggs in her body. They are passed to the male's pouch during mating where he inseminates them and they are incubated. Over time they developed the …pouch to protect the eggs until they are born. As for why the males adapted the pouch rather than the females, the male reproductive organs are mostly internal in fish (if you look male fish, you don't really see a visible penis). If the female had the pouch he wouldn't be able to reach in and inseminate them, so they would have needed to develop a way to pass them back to the female after insemination. Having the male develop the pouch made it so that the eggs are only vulnerable to attack from predatory fish and other dangers once rather than twice. Since fish don't have an actual penis, it was simpler to have the male develop a pouch than it would have been to completely change the anatomy of the male sexual organs.
