Did you circumcise?

Question

Answer

Nope, I talked to my pediatrician who informed me that it’s not even a recommended practice anymore and that it’s not practiced in any other country besides the US. He also informed me that it’s a dying practice in the US in 60% of little boys born today are not circumcised. He said it has no medical purpose and is there to protect the vital body part, he also said that there have been no studies that indicate boys who are uncircumcised experience infections at a rate any different than those who are. 
Nothing beats informed choices! No way I was putting my boy through that.

Answer

No. I was only going to get it done IF medically needed and he didnt need it done . Plus my husband has the penis lol I let him choose .

Answer

We had a girl but if we have a boy ever, we will not be circumcising. My husband isn't and we don't see the reason to 🤷

Answer

This is such a controversial topic. I understand BOTH view points. But, to each their own. 
Did I get my boy circumsised? Maybe. Maybe not. I voted but I don't think it is anyone's concern but mine and my SO. And sooner or later, my boy.

Answer

I'm a regret Mom. I had my son circumcised when I didn't know anything. He had to have a revision surgery at 11 months because too much extra skin grew back. If I could go back, I would've never done it in the 1st place. I had a daughter this time, but if I had had another son, I would not have.

Answer

We did not. His father is not and has had no issue and my Dr didn't seem worried about not doing it so he's intact. Way easier on me and him!!

Answer

We circumcised both our boys. Granted, they are 14 and 10, so that was some time ago. There are so many different studies and differing opinions now.
However, if I had to go back, I’d likely still choose to circumcise. We got our pediatrician and my ob/gyn’s (he has several degrees & I really do value his opinion) advice before doing so. Less chance of infection, UTI, HPV (and I’m sure other std’s) cancer, and easier to clean.

Answer

.... I never understand why sooooo many adults are so vocal/invested about a childs private areas. Unless you are the childs parents or doctor why should you get to decide something that doesn’t affect you? Why is my, or others, child’s private areas on your mind?

Answer

We had to for medical reasons, but had chosen to do so before baby was born. I left the decision up to my husband since I don't have the parts and he is circumcised.

Answer

No and my inlaws never let me hear the end of it. So annoying. Especially since they didn't circumsize their son or presumably his brother either.
