male or female?

[Rain2Rinse]

Do you prefer a male or female OB/gyn?

I have always had males. I prefer male everything:teachers, doctors, landscapers, chefs.

I don't know why. Maybe because I have always had such strong men in my life, I am just more comfortable with them.

I have had both males and females. I'm okay with either. There is a female Ob/Gyn and two males in the office I go to and it's somewhat random who I see. I'm not fussy, especially if I'm giving birth- LOL Just get the baby out, okay? LOL When I had DD1 it was the first time I had met one of the doctors. A weird time for an introduction, dontcha think? LOL 
My regular doc is a female. I like her a lot. I typically just take who I get, I'm not particular about it. 
My MIL told me once she had a female Gyn and she refered to my MIL's um... parts... as her vajayjay. She was totally appalled. Really? You're a professional and you can't say vagina? My MIL got a new dr. LOL I would too, that's so weird. I dont really want to have a friend poking around down there, just a doctor, thanks.

I prefer female, just because I feel more comfortable. Plus my sister had a male and she said he was far too rough and that was pretty much all it took.

I've had both. When I was pregnant with my first child, I had a female midwife but since that resulted in a c-section, I was required to undergo a planned c-section with my second which meant I was forced to be under the care of an OB-GYN. I went to the same surgeon that did my first c-section because he was really great and reasurring.

I find Males ob/gyn are more gentle but I can't stand going to a male doctor.

[stephiebugg]

So true, I would really expect a level of professionalism when you're um, checking out downtown for me!!! 
It'd be like going to a doctor for an injury on your head and them calling it your "domepiece" or "noggin" or "noodle" the whole time. PLEASE!

I am waiting to be seen right now. The wait list for this doctor to accept you as a patient.... Insanity. My mil used him though, and said he is amazing

[Mama2lilGarrett]

 I prefer a midwife.

I've always had males. Though I sometimes wonder if a female would actually take me seriously whenever I have a question and not just get told, "Oh it's because you're pregnant" or crap like that...it annoys me.

I had male family practice doctor up until I was pregnant with Makenzie...had him since I was 19 & he retired from OB and birthing.
