To think my dh is pathetic about a doctor

So I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and having problems with my heart- palpatations etc. Yesterday I saw a doctor who did an ecg and I have to go back on Monday for another one and a heart echo with a cardiologist. My dh was helping me take the stickers off last night from under my breast and asked me if I had to take my bra off, and if it was a man or a woman. I told him it wasn't under wired so I left it on just undone and they just had to go slightly underneath to put the stickers on, and that it was a female midwife who undone/done up my bra but a male doctor who did the ecg. He suddenly got grumpy and said that was disrespectful and I should have asked for a female to do it, and that I need to ask for a female cardiologist on Monday Hmm I told him I just needed to see any doctor that was available and he's being pathetic, and he said I wouldn't like it if he had a female doctor look at his penis?? Apparently he's not BU as women are most likely to have affairs with doctors!
Aibu to think he is acting like a totally pathetic child over me getting medical help over an important issue that could potentially affect our unborn baby??

Ha wait until you give birth.

He dosent like a male doctor being around you when you've got your bra undone?

Wait until they have theire fingers up you in labour.

What a manchild.

He's an idiot! That is ridiculous.

When I had dc3 my placenta got stuck and I haemorrhaged. I don’t remember really but DH informs me that the incredibly young and gorgeous doctor had practically his whole upper body across my naked self pummelling my stomach area.

Deeply sexy, obviously.

I'm a carer and don't even notice people's bodies. From age 18-96 and both male and female. I'm more noticing that someone is clean, their skin isn't sore, the pad is on, their t shirt isn't gathered up behind them... etc etc
I really don't get off on putting a uridom on a penis!

He's in for a shock at the birth.

DH had a female surgeon when his testicles twisted, I don't think I even registered it at the time:

Idiot. Wait til he has a heart attack and refuses to allow a female doctor to touch his magnificent torso. My knees have gone weak at the thought.

I had a male med student in with the mw when I was in labour with DS2. He was so nervous (1st ever birth) I practically had to tell him to stick his hand up my fanjo and feel for the baby’s head.

He does realise that there will be midwives who are attracted to women ? Does he want to to check sexual orientation as well as their genitalia?.

I think you need to have a long hard talk to him about what the hell he thinks he's ongoing about. If he doesn't trust you enough to keep your hands off a male doctor when you're having palpitations, then really he needs to step up or ship out.

Pannalash · 07/07/2018 18:05

Totally agree with DPotter hope you’re ok OP.

goodbyeeee · 07/07/2018 18:06

That's is utterly ridiculous and actually quite worrying behaviour. What do you think it says about how he views you?
