lol Chrystal! My uncle was a nurse (the reason I went to nursing

school actually) and he WAS gay. lol

He was an excellent nurse and every one of his patients thought so as

well. I am hoping to *grow up* into the nurse he was.

I have had both male and female OB's. I found the male more caring

and attentive whereas the female (also an excellent Doctor) was more

laid back like pregnancy wasn't a big deal (so she has 4 kids and I

was having infertility trouble so it WAS a big deal to me). I like

her and she is an excellent Dr, but my male OB makes all others I

have ever seen or worked with pale in comparison!

lol also one of the best RN's I have ever worked for (he was my

charge nurse) was male (not gay). He often joked about how 13 of the

RN's in the ER were pregnant at the same time or delivered within a

few months of each other. He said working with all of us was pure

torture and that he had withstood more estrogen and progesterone than

any man should ever have to endure. lol

And nope, he wasn't comfortable listening to us talk about our boob

pain, pelvic pressure, what type and smell of vaginal secretions we

had and whether or not it could be our water breaking, best secual

positions for the big-bellied pg woman- etc etc etc! lol

Thank you for your post.... it brought back lots of fond memories!!

men in the medical field & on this list

My dad was a NICU nurse and transfered to the ER because alot of the mothers

did not feel comfortable with a man there caring for babies. He said he was

asked over and over if he was gay....

I don't really understand that attitude. Why would he need to be gay to take

care of preemie and ill babies? My dad is a great nurse!

I had a male ob with my son and I now have another male ob after beginning

this pregnancy with a woman ob.

I will take my male ob any day over a woman ob. I have found them to be more

sympathetic and caring because they do not have my female parts.

Some of the women ob's have been like nazi drill seargents....telling me its

not that bad or back when they had their babies...blah blah blah. Or they may

not have even had babies yet and are young and in my opinion inexperienced and

stupid......and just damn cocky cause they have been to medical school.

This is just my humble opinion.....If men want to be here and chat about this

and that as long as they follow the same rules as the rest of us and are

respectful..........big whoopee. But honestly I don't know many men who would

want to be in a chat group with a bunch of pregnant women.
