Having delivered 8 babies, I've seen a ton of doctors and I'd say that they averaged out to be the same. However, if I'd had a choice, I would've seen only women for OB. A woman delivered my first one and she never made any stupid comments like the ones her male partner made. This is what he told me before I had my first one and I stupidly believed him:

"Oh, labor pains feel like gas pains. You can do it naturally."

Yeah, right! ASLFRose, who's tiny now, weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz. And I'm little and she was my first! The first thing I wanted to do after delivering her was go after him with a club.

A woman OB, especially one who had given birth, neeeevver would have said that.
