Does anyone else have any...opinions about crossing traditional gender barriers in birthing situations?
Yeah, my opinion is that this is the silliest thread to be posted to FR in a looooonnnnggg time :)
But that’s just me :)

I saw a nurse midwife all the way through my second pregnancy. When the time came, an obstetrician I didn’t know delivered the baby. I suppose he was the one unlucky enough to be on call on New Years.
Oh, and the midwife was nurse Ratchet. No kidding.

Yeah, right? Midwives? This is The United States of America in the 21st. century for crying out loud. It’s not 1840.

Male obstetricians deliver babies all the time. Why would a male midwife be any different? The only question is the person’s qualifications and level of caring.
There was a real tom-turkey of an OB on shift when I went to the hospital for my 7th delivery. (Telling a woman in labor that she shouldn’t have “gotten herself pregnant” is pretty crass.) Fortunately, a decent person arrived for the next shift and actually delivered the baby.

Up until the mid eighties in the US most of the obstetricians in the US were male.

Midwives are really cool. They have many tools at their disposal and have an intimate knowledge of the people and the process. Many ‘complicated’ births are rendered uncomplicated by the presence of a midwife.

My birthing experience was a nightmare from one end to the other. The O.B. nurse was so impatient to get me into bed she closed and locked my cosmetics case with my thumb still in it. The nurses were all bitches.

Yeah, right? Midwives? This is The United States of America in the 21st. century for crying out loud. Its not 1840. To be a Nurse-Midwife in the US requires
- A Master's in Nursing degree (or higher) beyond the BSN level;
- Passing the CNM credential from the Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME);
- Passing the Advanced Practice State Licensure as a Certified Nurse-Midwife;
- Maintaining CNM Certification and State Licensure through Continuing Education.
You're right, it's not 1840.

I work in a hospital in NJ. I've worked in two others. Not a care giver, a maintenance guy. I have never heard of midwives being employed in L&D. (labor& delivery).

Then again, she works in a hospital in Virginia. Maybe NJ forbids it, like pumping your own gas...

An amazing name. There are always a few midwives who do have Nurse Ratchet personalities but not many in the many places I have worked.
I was very lucky to work among that group of people for so long.
Did the Nurse Ratchet you met say anything about her name?
To: Wneighbor
Yes.
That’s freedom of speech for you.
To: Hoosier-Daddy
Yes.

My wife and I produced six humans.
I watched from the waiting room.
Yeah, I'm old fashioned kind of guy.
