i need some advise!

dude, she needs to get over it..... She should be accepting of what you want to do and enjoy. I actually really liked OB during clinicals, the only reason I didnt do it was because pts and their families seemed much more comfortable with a female.... I went to the OR where I had worked already for 9 years prior.... My wife was supportive and is supportive of anything that I do, if she wasnt, we would have serious problems for sure.....

i agree, but she said she would rather be do something like peds. which is fine i guess, but you want to do what you want to do right? I didnt get any support when i said i was going to flight school either. so i put most of that on hold cause it wasnt bringing any food to the table. nursing would be faster and more practical, atleast this way im not gone 15+ days a month flying all over the world. i dont know. i'll prolly just (try) do it anyway lol! im going to have to do it in clinicals anyways so whats the difference!? I keep tellin her its not like im going to be examining supermodels all day, there are some nasty girls out there! didn't help! haha

to be honest, even if they were supermodels, they all look the same after a while and you(at least I) will forget most of what you saw during the day once you are done and go home.... I did GYN two days a week, all day, usually 5-6 cases per day for a year and a half..... half seen plenty and nothing bothers me much anymore, did have to do a case with a severely infected lady parts/buttocks area the other day that had such an odor to it it made my eyes water on contact, the smell didnt bother me but the chemical vapor of it got my eyes to watering even with eye protection during the prep.... i have pulled cockroaches out of large womens bellybuttons..... seen condylomas the size of coliflower heads..... dead babies hanging half way out.... its all very interesting/fun/disturbing all at the same time...... There was nothing like the emotional energy that I felt delivering babies, I would still get to scrub/circulate csections up until we closed our OB department and took it over with surgery.... I would always get watery eyes when I saw and felt the energy in a delivery room.....
