Amanda Holden becomes a midwife... did anyone see it?

There's a male midwife in Private Practice (the spin-off of Gray's Anatomy...yes, i watch too much telly). I think I'd be ok with it.

There used to be a luuuurverly male midwife at Kings - some years ago now. I didn't have him at any of my births, but had the same reservations as have already been mentioned about male midwives in general. Once I'd met him I quickly changed my mind. He was so fab, calm, encouraging, supportive and humorous. I'd rather have had him than some of the dragons/ jobsworth-julies I've come across (mentioning no names -it was all a long time ago & I'm sure none of them practice round here any more!).
