This is going to sound crazy, but I think I could be (mostly) comfortable having a family member deliver a baby... but for yearly check-ups (and for that matter, for the check-ups throughout pregnancy), not so much. Having given birth twice now, I'm pretty much of the opinion that there's no room for modesty when it comes to delivery. That's just part of childbirth. But, I don't feel the same way about check-ups.

I think it must have something to do with all the hormones/adrenaline/etc... of childbirth. Or maybe it's because hubby is there during childbirth (and not check-ups). I dunno.
