circumsize

[AAOrozco]

Sorry I know there was the same topic asked about a few hours ago but I was also curious about it. I'm having a boy this time and my whole family is full of girls so nobody in my family can help me. What are the advantages and disadvantages for getting my son circumsized or not?

Yes, it's done before you leave the hospital :)

My 8 yr old is not circumcised, none of my partners have ever been circumcised, my brother and dad are not circumcised (it is not done in this country except for religious reasons) and NONE of them have ever suffered from the horror stories I have seen written on this site. A boy need no more cleaning than a girl...would you circumcise your daughter? Its not for me to say or influence you, that is a totally personal decision for you to make, but if you are unsure, please do some research on countries who do not circumsise as a matter of routine and look at infection rates etc...they are no higher than in countries who do. Make the decision for yourself, it is entirely your decision as a mother and I for one would not judge you either way x

Lovelyglover, my doctor asked me about 2 weeks before I had him, then again after labor, and they will just take him to a separate room, and the OB will circumcise him, and bring him back. You can also just bring it up to him!

She is right!! The benefits out weigh anything else
