circumcision

Mommy's pregnant with baby boys...r u planning on circumcision or not?

[Leobaby2013]

I had my sons done on tues. I wish someone would have told me how gruesome it was. My poor boy was in so much pain the next day. It was hard to nurse him without him whimpering. But I'm glad I got it done. 5 days later, it's completely healed. It's your child and you need to do what's best for him.

Technically speaking, there's no medical reason for it. It's just preference or religion.

If I have a boy, we decided against it. The way my husband and I think of it is it's there for a reason. We personally don't find it necessary.

I had my bby boy done nd itd so much better! Im having another bby nd if is a boy he will be getting his done as well

[2babiesnhubby]

I got my sons done. It's so much better. Not because of it being cleaner or being a lazy person but its better. My husband constantly has infections because he's not circumcised n also when he showers the soap gets in and it burns him. In my opinion its much better and safer.

My husbands not.circumsized so our son who is now 3 wasnt either and neither will this one. Its all personal preferwnce. My hubby has never had an infextion and neither has my son. And ur not actually supposed to pull the skin back so its the same cleaning as a boy who is circumsized. They are suppos have lots of naked time and boys being boys play with it themselves and that naturally cleans it. For us it wasnt a hard decision but if my hubby were circumsized im not sure what our dexision would have been. Also where im from the docs dont recommend it anymore and only a few doctors will perform the surgery. Do your research and whatever deciaion u make will b the right one for your son.

There was someone on here a few months ago their baby boys skin was to tight when he got a erection that it was causing issues and infections i think, so they had to have it done.  But me personally knowing what i know now will not have my son done, unless his skins to tight.

I was told im having a boy. I need another ultrasound to be 100 percent. I really dont care to get him circumcised, i feel having a penis that nature intended would be fine. And he could get it done when hes older if he wants. My husband wants it to be done, says men are too sensitive the other way (generally) , and its cleaner. So we are undecided.

[sdvargas]

I had my first boy done and this baby boy will be done. We think its best for our boys.

[Kaylamomof3]

I have no idea I didnt ask my parents the right details he's at the age where I need to stay away from him and that might be to personal.  I don't remember it being to tight when he was younger tho unless it could happen over the years

[mrs_araujo]

Also some boys need it done because there skins to tight!  Maybe that's why your brother has so many issues?!  ^^

[Kaylamomof3]

It is not laziness and you being a bad mood doesn't mean you have to throw down our opinions.  my brother never got circumsized when he was a child and my parents cleaned him all the time and even helped at I was 15 when he was born.  he got infections all the time.  now at 10 he has a surgery coming up that my parents have to pay almost 10x the amount of a circumsion.  he will remember this for life cause now he has to do it or risk further infections and as the doctor said maybe become sterile when older.  everyone has a choice but from my experience i would never want to put that on my child and have them hate the decision I never made for him.  

[mrs_araujo]

Also if this helps any, i don't think its cleaner (i think its about how well they clean themselves) with my x bf he was circumcised and i always had a ton of yeast infections because of him!  I've been with my husband 2 years, he's NOT circumcised and i haven't had any kind of infection! So its all about being clean!

[Mommys1st]

Im having a baby boy, and yes he will be getting it done, my fiance is and my mom has 3 boys and its much cleaner

[mrs_araujo]

Sorry if i have offended anyone but I'm in a bad mood today! Not trying to be rude, just a little more blunt about things today!

[myost8315]

My oldest is and this one will be. There's no medical reason to have it done but personal preference is yes.

[mrs_araujo]

No I'm not lazy!  Most insurances' are considering circumcision as "plastic surgery" now a days!  If i would have been with a circumcised man then, i might not have done my research like i have, and probably would have chose differently!!  I have done my research and circumcision is not what's best for my baby boy!

[mrs_araujo]

No, I'm having a boy!!  I have a 14 month old girl!  So i do have a say in this!!!!!  My child's father and family have never had problems (none of them are circumcised! ), our children should be taught to clean themselves properly!  Just like us ladies would teach our daughters' to clean properly, our boys should be taught also! If changing a boys diaper and cleaning them properly, "is touching them to much" then some people have some sick minds!!!

[AshleyDMcCaig]

If I were having a boy, he would definitely be getting it done. I personally think it looks better that way then not being circumsized. As to the person who made the lazy comment, there is an after care time span after its done, maybe you're the lazy one..

[itsmechinita]

Its not about being easier "mrs_araujo" but i dont like having to pretty much touch my sons penis so much plus if a boy is uncircumsized it is easier for them to get an infection!  Were you not just saying your having another girl?!?? Teqnically speaking you have no say on the topic.. just saying ...

[babywhalen2]

My son isnt done...i just did a lot of research and talked it over with my husband and we both agreed that was what felt right for our son. Id encourage anyone on the fence to research it well and then decide. Theres no wrong answer. Just personal choices. Do what you feel best for your child.

[halerz90]

My husband is so we are planning on it.

[mrs_araujo]

I see no point in it, my boys dad doesn't have it done! If the only reason you can think of to have it done is because "its easier to clean" than your lazy!!  
Everyone take that as you want!

[BabyTurnip]

This is our first child and we decided to get him done. His daddy is circumcized and i left the decision mostly to him. Hes a guy so hes in a much better position to know what hes talking about. But just read up on it and its ur decision.

[tyeray]

My husband definitely wants it done ....this is my first child and my sister who has a son said its the best thing to do...so i am
