anyone else had a male mw?

[lazycat]

...and it it any different from having a female mw?

there you go !

my midwife for first child was male,he was great.i actually prefered him to the females that popped in and out.and he popped in on our 3rd child too!i think dh liked having another male in room.

i had a male nurse there who was on some general training. it was his first ever birth - quite a violent forceps delivery too, poor chap - and he was so sweet to me, came to visit me when i was on the ward and gushed about the baby. the female midwives were much more blase.

were all these men the same ones i had at St. Peters in Chertsey i had male men twice they were brill i prefered them to the women they were more professional IMO.
also i asked on the island when i went in for 3rd if they had male MW unfortunately not

Yes I had one when I had surgery to have my episiotomy redone a few weeks after ds was born

he was very nice indeed, one of the kinder members of staff I met

yes..with my first delivery.. i had a scoucer called paul and he was with me alot for my after care...thought i would be embarrased but he was brilliant...even gave me tips with breast feeding..which i was amazed at!!

Since midwives are few and far between here in my part of the US I can't comment, but one of my ob/gyns is male and I have to say that he has talked to me, and been more reassuring than the three females in the practice. He also does the best internals of any doctor I've had.
