not getting son circumcised

[healthyjes4life]

Any moms out there not getting their babies circumcised?  What are your reasons?  Im on the fence about it leaning towards not doing it.

[selflynn]

Never got my four sons done. Don't see a need in it.  Make sure if you don't you have the right information.  As ppl are in formed wrong about it. You never pull back the foreskin as baby or even small kids it will gradually do itself around 5 and 6 yrs of age. I had mother say they had to have their baby circumiced eels or months later cause they can't pull it back and it hurts baby when they do.  So just make sure your Dr good with uncircumcised boys too.  Sometimes there are reasons to do it, but dh and I didn't even though he is but back than they thought it was better. The std reasons didn't make me do it as they should glove up and by than should be responsible.  Howerver it personal decision so do what right for you and your sons.

I am getting it done but it costs $329 up front..kinda pricey but I think worth it

[beckyMH]

I think that it's your personal choice I am from the UK and it's not done over here. Your probably best off doing some research and talking to your doctor about it.

Both of my boys are done. They are 14 and 15. I have seen men who were not  circumcised and I remember how bad I talked about them after. My husband didn't get it done till he was 13 and he said he wish his mother had done it when he was a baby. Boys are not always the cleanest as kids. They get to an age that they don't want you to even look at them and I chose to do it to make sure no infections from not cleaning it the right way

I agree with Samantha on this one.

Speak with your doctor.  They are the only ones you should be asking about this important procedure.

I had it done for my son and I would do it again. He didn't appear to be in any pain after the procedure and it looks better and easier for a young boy to keep clean.

I have 2 sons. Oldest one isnt because his dad wasnt. Youngest is and i regretted it so bad because he screamed and screamed after and ran a fever and wouldnt nurse for a day. Drs said it was from the procedure. Im preg with a boy and i let my husband decide and everyone in his family is so hes getting him done. I just hope baby doesnt have pain and fever. I honestly think its not necessary. My ex is 36 and my oldest is 16 and theyve never had issues at all.

I'm not going to circumcise my son. I don't see the need for it to be done.

I am not getting it done either. I did my research and its just cosmetic. Also its not my choice its his penis not mine. If later on in life he wants it done he can get it done. It is torture to the baby. Sometimes they dont even numb them!

I have 2 boys and I didn't do it either!  Like other said, I don't see the point on having them going thru that pain! Their pediatrician showed me how to pull the skin back when I give them baths...so far so good!

[kitahurst]

Nope. As a pediatric RN, I've seen how it's done and it's quite brutal to be something completely unnecessary (read: for aesthetic value). I want to save my boy from any unnecessary pain; vaccinations may sting but those can save his life/better his health.

[mandajayne0333]

both my sons are uncircumcised. my oldest is 2 now. no issues at all. i didnt get it done as its really a cosmetic procedure these days. my partner isnt done and his is the most cleanest i have ever seen. it is personal opinion though. xx

[jasminelove89]

Im personally getting my son done. But its a personal choice :)

[Cori2]

I'm having a boy and I am most def getting it done. I've had experiences with uncut and I just hated it and it was nasty. Wouldn't want my baby to deal with that later in life

[Sass508]

I'm not having a boy this time but I definitely wouldn't. I've spent a lot of time researching about this and it's a very sensitive issue for people. All you can do is learn everything you can, stay away from this or that person's personal opinion on it, and make your own based on what feels right :)

[princesslo007]

This is something that can be a very personal decision. It's best to discuss it with your significant other, doctor and do your research!

[SamanthaGutierrez]

i didn't do it to neither of my boys. if they Medically need then of course yea but I don't see ANY point of getting boys circumcised(:
