I say go for it. As someone else has already pointed out, just because you're female doesn't mean you have the monopoly on compassionate care; I know plenty of female L&D nurses that I have wanted to punch in the face for making ridiculously rude, insensitive, or uncompassionate comments. Some people are just not cut out for OB, regardless of their gender.

When you truly love your area of work it shows, and I think that will help you through some difficult situations you are probably going to face.

Just FYI--Ontario now has its first male midwife :) he's getting rave reviews!

If you think you love it, then absolutely go for it. Patients feel the difference when their nurse is doing what he/she loves; And every woman deserves that kind of care when she is birthing.
