Like you, I assumed male doctors were the automatic choice because, at the time, that was the situation. I'm glad there are choices for moms now. At such a time as delivering a baby, comfort is very important!

It is amazing to me to see all the transitions in childbirth practices through the years. Some things change and some do not. Blessings back to you as well!

Some were quite clever and some, downright frightening! Thanks so much for stopping by!

In the 50's through the 70's I bet it was a different story. I had a male doctor for both of my hospital deliveries. I wasn't opposed to women, I just didn't come from a family where you did anything but go to the local obstetrician. Thanks for the post, and congrats on that new grandbaby!<br />Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-74202179614624425092019-08-29T15:16:47.140-04:002019-08-29T15:16:47.140-04:00Congratulations on the birth of your grandson Ende...Congratulations on the birth of your grandson Endeavor James Cooper, Elaine.
