By definition, wouldn’t we just say that the pregnant partner in a species is the female? Is there another step I’ve missed?

Look at it like kangaroos. If the males had a pouch and carried the young after they were born (laid) you wouldn’t say the males gave birth. I think it’s the fact that it’s eggs that’s throwing you off. Change it to newborn babies and mammals and it makes much more sense why the male is still the male. With the seahorses the female just sticks them to the male instead of to a rock or letting them float away.
