My 2nd was a boy & we decided not to get him circumsized we're Christian & believe that God made men that way for a reason no need to change God's way ... You gotta be a lil bit more careful w.cleaning thats it.

Im sure the numbing stuff hurts. I saw on YouTube they inject the numbing stuff with a needle in the base of the private. After that there was not much crying. I just don't think iIcould be in the room, I hope its not even an option. Lol

His pediatrician did it, they took him to another room and they left the door open and I didn't hear a peep. She said it doesn't hurt them with the numbing supposably. But afterwards he was bleeding pretty bad and seemed irritated by it :/ I felt really bad, but they are healed in just a few days. Definitely worth it to me

Thanks I've noticed some people can get on their high horse about it, needing to defend their opinion, for me I'm like a sponge I like to hear people's views.

This is my third baby and I didn't notice when I was pregnant with my others (now 6&7) how many people, especially from the USA, who get their boys circumcised, sounds stupid but I honestly thought it was only Jewish and another religion, can't remember the name of it, who got them circumcised. X

You have not offended me. Everyone is titled to there own opinion hun! :) but I have done research on circumcision pros & con then decided to do it. Honestly before my midwife asked me about it at my 37 week check up I didn't really give it too much thought.

Honest question, I thought only the Jewish religion circumcised their boys, how come a lot of America tend to circumcise them. Here in the UK it's practically unheard of unless there's a medical reason for it. Sorry if I'm offending anyone, just curious. My son was born with an almost natural circumcision. X

We don't know baby's gender yet but I am worried about the same thing. I think i am a bit scarred after attending a Bris  for a friend's baby awhile back. If we have a boy I kind of hope Dad will handle that whole situation

Yes it's fast !! If your son cries it'll be for a second !! My son showed no sign of discomfort after the procedure, just make sure you take good care of it and be gentle !! You'll do great
