My previous OB before I moved was male and he was awesome. I definitely would have stuck with him had we stayed. My new OB is female, but I only chose her based on friend's recommendations. fairy on "What gender is your OB?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-your-ob/page/2#post-1842028 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 11:23:01 +0000 fairy 1842028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ There are 2 male OBs and 1 female OB (and a female NP) in the practice I use. I like all of them! I think that for exams, the males are more gentle (other than when I was in labor and I was wishing the cervical checks were done by a female or a male with smaller hands!), and a male did my c-section, but the females were warmer and always seemed more excited about pregnancy/birth lol.

A male delivered me. For gyno stuff I typically see a female but I might switch to the guy that delivered me now. spaniellove on "What gender is your OB?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gender-is-your-ob/page/2#post-1841873 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 09:54:57 +0000 spaniellove 1841873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Male...he's great!
