Hospital birth rant. Dont want a male doctor 😕

I choose to see a female OBGYN for all my pregnancy and female health care needs, because that's what makes me most comfortable. I do not want another male touching me down there or being there (except for hubby) while I give birth.

And it really irritates and stresses me out that I dont have this choice while giving birth because where I live in Canada, all the doctors in my doctors office, and the other offices in the city, are in rotation at their specific hospitals. So you get whoever is there on the delivery unit that day.

I think the hospital should always make sure to have atleast one or two females there, because Im pretty sure Im not the only one that feels this way. I really wish men couldn't get into this field, since we have enough women to do the job. 😐

I just want to be comfortable when giving birth, and ending up with a male doctor between my legs after always seeing a female will just ruin my experience for me.

I would have went with a midwife instead of a doctor, because atleast they are women and will come to the hospital when you give birth. But because of complications with my last pregnancy, I needed to stick with a doctor.

Update: I dont care if he's seen alot of vaginas, Im not worried about the doctors comfort, Im worried about my own. And all the practices here have men, or else I would have gone to one that doesnt. I wouldnt say Im being "modest" and "huffy". Its my own personal preference and I have a right to feel that way.
