How are the OB nurses?

So I've been in maternity for a while I heard this myth from several nurses that most of OB nurses who work in (L&D or postpartum etc) are kind of mean for some reason ( I guess a lot of women, a lot of drama). In my hospital everyone in OB here talking about others behind their back, nitpicking about everything and pretty much everyone here hate each other and drama every day. Is it just my hospital or other places like this too? I love OB and I wonder what other hospitals are like

What a ridiculous stereotype. OB nurses are human, just like everyone else. As such, there are always going to be a few people who are unpleasant. It's that way in every profession, and every nursing specialty. If your department has a high percentage of ***y, unpleasant people, I would say it's more the culture of the unit, and I would look to your leadership as far as why that behavior is condoned or ignored.
