I had a male midwife with my first, and will probably see him with my second (small rural hospital)
He was great!
actually took me seriously when i said I think Ive SROM'd at 1am, when the other midwife didnt even look, just told me to go to sleep as they were AROMing in the morning.
He was great support, knew what I needed (to be left alone) and I trust his care.
To me its the person, not their gender, that makes a difference

Had an interesting conversation with a female nurse about me and middy. Although she has teenage children now, her preference would be for a male gynae. Her reasoning, they are more respectful and gentle when it comes to examinations.

The more women I meet, 99% say it would not bother them if they had a male midwife. With the 1% that decline, I am highly respectful of their decision. In this area, if a woman (and partner) doesn;t have complete trust in you, the labour and birth will not be a memorable experience.

I love being a midwife!!

I'd have no trouble at all with a male midwife.

My male midwife is the best! couldn't imagine things going any other way!
