XP: ? for Moms about male dr.

Have any of you had anxiety about a male doctor delivering your baby and then had a male during deliver? Did your perspective change while you were delivering or after?

background:

Yesterday I found out my obgyn only delivers M-F daytime hours and then she rotates with 1 women and 2 men for nights and weekends. This makes me nervous because having a male doctor down there gives me great anxiety. I started crying in the appointment because of the hormones and my nerves about it. My obgyn was saying she could refer me to an all women clinic, but I don't know if I really want to switch again. My current doc at EWC came with many good recs. I previously felt uncomfortable with a male gyno even at annual exams.
