Circumcision?

Question

Im not too informed on this. I know what it is, but I just wanna know pros and cons.
Nothing worth causing an argument. Im open to hearing both sides. :)
Why or why not?
When I get a BFP, I will talk with my dr. more on this.

Answer

I'm against it because I think that is a big decision to make on someone's behalf. I also don't think the benefits outweigh the risks. It's also cutting off a part of your baby, and if it's not acceptable for females then it isn't for males. It is ultimately up to the parents. Everyone in my family is for it, so I understand why. But it's not the right decision for me and my husband.

Answer

I don't think it's an absolutely necessary procedure therefore I probably won't do it. I agree with what another poster said, the benefits of doing it don't outweigh the risks.

Answer

Im undecided as well. This topic has beenposted several times and each time different people respond. The ones that have me on the fence are women who's husbands who had to get circumcised (forgot the details on why),  or their teenage sons. So in the end, go through circumcision to prevent that later in life or not do it at all and they might not have to ever get it done? Idk. :/

Answer

It's better to Do It When the are born cause is less painful and In a few day it's fine... I have to boys and I did it the day after they born you just have to keep the area clean put a gauze with baseline every time you change the diaper, if you wait their bigger the doctors use anesthesia, they bleed, its painful, stitches... I won't recommend it.

Answer

I'm in the UK and circumcision is not a common thing here unless it's for religious / medical grounds... But it's up to the parent I suppose :) I would never do it personally it's not even something my partner or I are even considering if this baby is a boy :)

Answer

I don't believe in it because of these reasons in this link

But in the end it is totally your choice. :) I hope this helps.

Answer

I have seem a bunch of people come in from the age of 5 to the age of 78 getting circumcision done cause it got infected. I think the benifits out way the risk. But I think it's whatever you want to do. Never make people make you feel horrible for your decision. People always tell you how to raise your children so take an opinion in and just go with what your gut says. If I have another son he will be circumcised as well. So I am comfortable with what I decided

Answer

I had my son circumcised when he was born. He came home and did not cry when I changed him. Never had any issues. I never knew there's this big debate, pro vs con. Your child, your decision, my child, my decision! 
However, a friend of mine was unable to pay for her son to get circumcised at birth. Her son started having horrible uti's, so the doctor sent him to get circumcised. Can you imagine a 5 year old getting circumcised? Poor baby was in great discomfort.

Answer

My son isnt, and he has problems with his foreskin, and keeping it clean, and my nephew wasn't at birth, and ended up hospitalized and had to get it done at the age of 4.

Answer

As a circumcised make born in 1979, I don't like it. My skin is too tight. I wish I was natural. I see no reason to do it. I would never do it to my son.
