50 / 50: what do you think about male nurses / midwives and would you want them to deliver your baby?
Pa Kemo, third year media and communication student university of Worcester: I think male nurse / midwives like their female colleagues do a fantastic job in terms of helping and guiding patients when it comes to treatment and I will not have a qualm in them attending to my wife during child birth.

Mrs Adama Jawara Expectant Mum: I dont have any negative mind against them, I think the society should appreciate their efforts as health personnel as long as they know what they are doing, it doesn’ t matter what their sexes are, the most important thing is for us to get treated, and as a Muslim woman and pregnant for that matter, I wouldn’ t mind a male midwife to deliver my baby, as long as he gets the qualification.

Mbassy Customer Care Assistant: I would prefer a female to deliver my baby, not because I’ m been gender bias but because I don’ t want any man to see me naked except my husband.

Alice first year media and communication student, Birmingham City University: I’ m not ashamed of my body and I would rather prefer a man that is trained and qualified than a woman to deliver my baby, I have no problem with that.
