BluegrassRN 1,188 Posts Has 14 years experience. Mar 9, 2013 There are no male ob nurses where I work. There is one male OB in a practice with 4 female OBs. There is one or two male family practice physicians who still have privileges for delivery, and there are probably 10 or 12 female GPs with privileges. I haven't worked on that floor for several years, so I don't have exact numbers for you.

Mr Midwife, BSN, RN 1 Article; 52 Posts Specializes in Maternity. Has 8 years experience. Mar 16, 2013 I work in London UK and there's a few of us male midwives around. My last unit had 5 but in new unit I'm only 1 of 2 so it does vary. Obstectricians tend to be about a 60/40 split in favour of the girls at lower grades (SHO) but by the time they get to consultant its back to about a 50/50 split.
