I do not understand why male nurses are "shunned" out of L&D. If women have male OB's delivering their pup, why would it matter if their nurse was male. Doesn't competence matter MORE than gender?...

I'm sorry your wife's dr won't deliver breeches, it can be done! :) Good luck and wishing your bride a quick recovery! Enjoy your son, babes are precious!
