Hi all, so I just got assigned a male doctor (an obstetrics group) and I’m not sure how I feel about this … I asked for a female but they had none available … so anyone else have a male doctor? How was your experience? Ugh I’m just worried and freaking out a little .. 🙈🙈

ohh that’s an interesting point of view that I’ve never thought of! That helps me thank you!

Some of the best Obstetricians I've ever worked with were men. Then again, some were women. I wouldn't care as long as I was comfortable with them. X

I had a male doctor when I was pregnant last year and he was great I had no complaints. He wasn’t available when I went into labor but another male dr delivered my baby and he was great as well!

My OB is a male and honestly made my entire pregnancy and birth process so much better! I completely trust him and thought he’s a great human being!

It wouldn't bother me at all as long as hes good dr and professional

I genuinely think it's about the doctor themselves not their gender.

I have a male doctor and he’s amazing, i’m not sure why body parts are a consideration. I was looking at their education, experience, reviews, etc.

I had a male doctor as a kid, seemed good. I remember nothing bad. Then I became an adult and was assigned a new doctor (female) - loved her! Wish I could fly 2 visit her for my check ups!
I moved, and I had a male doctor for my first check up as an adult after moving out of my mom's house & I hated it. He made me so uncomfortable by stating he needed a female nurse in the room to make me feel more comfortable. He also made me do a breast exam at age 22. & I felt he spent more time there than my husband kissing that area. & made me uncomfortable that he said I had to hold my arms straight out holding the told paper gown filly extended & not just a simple roll up or short lift. I couldn't see his face or what he was doing. I was warm and his hands where ice. The nurse face looked uncomfortable. Which made me feel all the more uneasy. Never went back. Overall I have 3 female doctors after this experience in same state and was all horrible. They all pinched my V & I was bruised. 🥲 Arizona Healthcare sucks!

I had a male OBGYN from 16-30 years old. I loved him up until I asked to have my hormones checked and he told me no, that’s I’m fine. I switched to a female an I’m happier 🤷🏻♀️

I had a male doctor, and he was great. I also work for a male doctor, and he's so much more chill.

I just wanted to thank y’all for you comments and pov’s, I’ve never had a male doctor and clearly my anxiety got the best of me so thank you all ❤️❤️

I had a male doctor for my first scan at 8 weeks and it was a transvaginal scan so I was a little nervous but honestly it was absolutely fine 😊

I choose female doctors because I have female parts and I'm sure my husband prefers it.

When I asked for OB advice, I found that almost all my friends had been delivered by male doctors. I've never been to a male doctor before, so I'm nervous, but I have no choice but to choose someone experienced. Let’s seee my 1st check up will be 10th oct
