I not too sure, I think a lot of other factors determine a good midwife such as maturity, sensitivity, empathy and compassionate care to name a few. When I think about men being midwives I really think they could make good midwives as men play many roles of the midwife everyday with their partners, supporting them throughout their pregnancy and birth etc. Having 3 children myself I think it helps but is not the be end and end all. Once again I can't put it into words lol!!!!
