    There are three females and one male at my practice - haven't met the male yet, but I've heard he's great.

    My whole practice is female. Not that I wouldn't feel uncomfortable with a male, but I feel like females understand other women better and it's what I prefer.

    My midwife was a female, but both OBs I saw the hospital (the one on call when I was admitted and the one who actually delivered E) when I was in labor were male.

    There are 3 men and 2 women OBs in my practice, but the 1 I see the most is male. I saw all of the doctors during my hospital stay for LOs birth.

    Female , but I will rotate through all the doctors, some of whom are male.

    I usually see a female CRNP/midwife but when I was pregnant I alternated between her and a male OB. I really like them both.

    @ValentineMommy: haha - I loved The Cosby Show! I've always had female docs, but chose a male OB and am so happy with my decision.

    Female. DH isn't comfortable with me being seen by a male doc, but I don't have a preference. I just want a good reliable doctor

    I don't have a specific preference, but I have seen both men and women, I don't select a doctor based on their sex and I wouldn't require my husband to either...if he needed to see a urologist and the best one around was a female, that wouldn't be off limits.

    I have always seen females in the past, but when I started infertility treatments, I ended up being seen by male REs. I quickly got used to it, and my current OB is a male.

    Male...he's great! He's relatively young and DH and I are both comfortable being around him, plus he has a lot of kids so we know he's been through the experience several times as a dad.

    My practice uses a rotation model of both males and females. A male delivered me. For gyno stuff I typically see a female but I might switch to the guy that delivered me now.

    Male. I work with all of our doctors, so I chose based on who I felt would best take of me, not sex.

    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.

    @looch: yay!

    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.

    My RE is male but will be moving onto my female OB in a few weeks.
