Opinions: Can You Allow Your Husband's Doctor Friend Deliver Your Baby??

Esther Ben
Do you know that I’ve always thought about that? I wouldn’t mind if I can exceptionaly be delivered of my baby by strictly female doctors and nurses but who would give me such luxury?

If he is a qualified medical doctor, I will allow him because I will be safer in his hands because he will treat me as his own due to the relationship that exists between the two families. He will give me the necessary attention for my safety. He is the best to handle me in such a situation because he will handle me with utmost care. A qualified medical doctor even from his school days, would have seen women’s private part a lot, so mine won’t be anything to him. Moreover, a woman in labour should not care about who sees her private part. What should be her priority is her safety and that of the baby.

As a woman in labour, I will likely prefer my husband’s best friend to assist me because if he is there, I will be confident and at ease knowing that someone that cares is around. If he is there, he will definetely be petting me and you know that sweet words relieve pain. He is the one in a position to handle me the way my husband does and I know that if it takes him to sing for me to deliver, he would do it because he will not want to disappoint my husband.

I have my reasons for allowing my husband’s best friend to deliver me of my baby. He will go extra mile in taking care of me. It is not every doctor that claims to know much about delivery that does. So, he will take care of me with much carefulness in order to guarantee our safety. He is also in a position to reveal my true condition if he sees that I need special attention or that my condition is beyond his power. I don’t think that my private part will move him because he will be seeing me as his sister.

I don’t think I will allow him because I will always feel bad and uneasy each time I see him knowing that he has seen my private part. For crying out loud, my private part is my husband’s pride, so allowing his friend see it will reduce my dignity. There are thousands of doctors out there. So, he is not the right person for me.

Stella Amushie
I have not been through that lane before but as I heard from the people that have toed that line, I know that labour is painful. Moreover, I have had a painful menstruation and I have concluded that labour is like hell. If someone is in labour, she wouldn’t be conscious enough to choose who delivers her of her baby but if there is time for me, I will not choose him. But if I don’t have time, my husband’s friend can go on with that. So, my answer is yes and no.

I would allow him take the delivery since he is a medical doctor. It doesn’t matter if he is my husband’s best friend. What matters is the safety of our lives. Even the stranger you meet at the labour room might turn out to be a family friend, so what is the big deal? I may not allow a family member because he might attach emotions which is very risky in the profession.

Esther
Why not? As a family friend who had taken care of us during our antenatal period, there is nothing wrong allowing him take the delivery of our baby.

Vivian Madu
If it happens that he is the only doctor available to take my delivery, I would allow it because our lives are very precious. So, it doesn’t mattter whether he is my husband’s best friend or not.

Ify Okafor
No! I wouldn’t allow a male doctor to take the delivery of my baby. I would prefer a midwife. I don’t think there would be an emergency for my husband’s best friend to take the delivery of my baby since I had undergone the antenatal period. So, mid-wife is my chioce, not my husband’s best friend.

Florence Igomu
Yes, I would allow him provided we are safe. It doesn’t matter if he is my husband’s best friend. Afterall he is a doctor.

Mercy Kalu
Yes! As long as he is a doctor, there is no problem with who he is. What is the essence of hiding my body from him when I know he is saving our lives.

Deborah Owolabi
Since he is a doctor, there is nothing wrong in taking my baby’s delivery. So, I would allow him.

Mary Asigbu
Provided he is a professional doctor, I don’t think there is any big deal allowing him take the delivery of my baby.

Chinyere Onwugigbo
I wouldn’t allow him take the delivery of my baby because he is my husband’s best friend. As a result, he wouldn’t respect me after seeing my private part. In fact, I wouldn’t be comfortable whenever he visits. So, I would prefer someone else take the delivery instead of him, to save my face.

Lynda Oti
I would allow him take the delivery of my baby if he is a professional. There is nothing wrong if he is my husband’s friend or not. What matters is the safety of our lives. I’m a nurse, so I understand what it means for a woman to be in labour. In fact, you wouldn’t even care who he was because all you are after is to deliver your baby safely. Even if he is my father-in-law, I would allow him.
