I'm due on the 30th with my first son....Do I get him circumcised?

thank you ladies so much for your responses. I greatly appreciate them. hope yall are having a great night

I did bc that's the way their daddy was.

That's totally up to you!!

Its all the same my son isnt and i never had to do extra care both my nephews are no matter what you have to wash them its part of being a parent to little boy but i left it up to my husband he isnt so thats why we choose not to but really there is no right or wrong

Like I said, some people will say don't. There's a million articles and websites out there telling you why you SHOULDN'T circumcise your baby, well there's also a million articles and websites out there telling you why you SHOULD circumcise your baby. It's all about preference!

@mommy1990, yes it's cleaner. If he isn't circumcised you have to clean it for him and then when he's old enough he has to clean it himself. I have friends who have sons that aren't circumcised and they've gotten bad infections from not cleaning or doing it improperly. I also know a grown man who ripped his foreskin during sex because he isn't circumcised and it can get in the way of things I'm guessing. I'm definitely for circumcision.

I will be but the decision is yours.

im going to do it if this baby is a boy

@queendavis never thought of it like that...and it's cleaner right?

It's up to you if you want to get it done it's either religious or health issues my cousin who husband isn't decided not to do it to her two sons because she didn't want them growing up thinking they were different from the dad but me on the other hand I did it cause of health issue you have to clean it for them until they are old enough to do it themselves but if you have it done it cleans itself

It's 100% up to you. Some people will say don't and some will say do. We decided to circumcise our son. If your husband is circumcised then I think you would probably want to circumcise your son that way him and daddy "look the same" 😋

That a decision for you to make. There's all sorts of opinions on it, statistics, etc. I can say if you do chose to do it, be prepared to be emotional about && look into how to care for it until it heals.

you can do it if you want. there is a lot of debate about. some don't because of religious reasons or because they just don't want to. it is all up to you.

I did
