He is really nice and always makes time for my questions. He delivered our first child and will be delivering our second.

My main perinatologist is a guy, but my appointments are with which doc is up, and the other two are women.

My current practice has two male doctors and two female midwives. My initial pelvic was done by one of the females, I haven't had any internal exams yet by the males, but I feel comfortable enough with them now that I wouldn't have a problem. It makes a world of difference that I've had several office visits with each before they actually get in my biz :) annie624 on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-346252 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 09:02:10 +0000 annie624 346252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine is a female. I've seen a male in the past, and honestly I liked him much more!

My previous obs were also female. blackbird on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-346204 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 08:45:58 +0000 blackbird 346204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My OB is female (all-female practice) but my perinatologist is male ShootingStar on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-346168 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 08:26:20 +0000 ShootingStar 346168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Both my GYN and my RE are female. I also have an OB practice picked out that has "All Female" in the name. I'm not really comfortable with a male doctor all up in my business.

He doesn't deliver anymore, but I would have been thrilled if he had been there for LO's birth. He's awesome and one of the most highly regarded ob-gyns in the area. My previous ob-gyn was a male as well, but also a lot older. I think I would be weirded out if they were young. mrsjyw on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-346078 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 07:38:42 +0000 mrsjyw 346078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a male OB. The last two, including this one, that I've seen regularly were male.

I'm just more comfortable with that. And I like the fact that she is a mother so she can relate to my pregnancy issues and concerns. I was recommended to her because she is my primary care doctor's OB so I felt really confident about her skills as well. Turns out all the OBs in her practice are also women which was a happy accident for me. mediagirl on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-346025 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 06:56:09 +0000 mediagirl 346025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to have a woman but then I really liked the OB who delivered M so, he's my new GYN. :) boiledpnut on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-346014 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 06:48:43 +0000 boiledpnut 346014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I see both. I don't have a problem with either. It's not like they are getting any pleasure out of examining me. I've actually found the males to be a little more compassionate though. mrs. bird on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-345987 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 05:46:57 +0000 mrs. bird 345987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've only had one ob-gyn (10+ yrs!), and she's female. The thought of a male ob GYN makes me very anxious & DH would rather me see a female.

Our fertility dr was a male though.... it actually made me kind of uncomfortable. I think one reason I prefer a female is because she can relate.

I wanted a woman specifically, but I actually didn't know about the rest in the practice until I was pregnant...a happy surprise! ChelseaRose on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-345736 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:48:42 +0000 ChelseaRose 345736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I go to a practice that mainly has three femal OB/gyn's and you rotate seeing all of them during pregnancy. There are two semi-retired mal gyn's in the practice, but they don't do deliveries so you don't see them during pregnancy.

I don't think I could have a male. My OB was going away the weekend after my due date and said she could refer me to a male doctor in the practice and I got SO freaked out. So glad DD decided to show up 11 days late (the only positive of that decision lol) Mrs. Pen on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-345691 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:20:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 345691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My birthcenter had female midwives but I was transferred to a hospital at the end and the OB was male. I really liked him though. I wouldn't care male/female as long as I felt comfortable with them and they identified with my views/preferences. autumnlove on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-345683 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:15:20 +0000 autumnlove 345683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have a male OB. lemondrop on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-345680 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:14:57 +0000 lemondrop 345680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My OB is a male, he is awesome. I was so relieved that he was on call the night I delivered.

I like him. The first time I saw him though he started working down there and then said he delivered me. I was like, no that was my sister. Anyways it reminded me of that movie where she dated a ob and he didn't recognize her til he started the exam lol.

I would be OK with a male OB, I think, but less so for routine well woman things. I never had to seek out a female, they were always friend recommendations. tororojo on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-345655 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 20:49:24 +0000 tororojo 345655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have always had a female gyno, but this time I have a guy (chose him based on recommendations/word of mouth). DH and I both like him a lot! He's young (I would guess early 30s? but looks younger) and for some reason that weirds me out less than I think an old guy would. But the other 3 doctors in the practice are all older, so who knows who will deliver this baby. I would try to choose a doctor based on word of mouth, rather than based on gender. pinkcupcake on "Is your OB/GYN a male or female?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-obgyn-a-male-or-female#post-345654 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 20:48:53 +0000 pinkcupcake 345654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My ob is a female. Not sure if I'd be completely comfortable with a male.
