Elliot has his circumcision at 11. I hate this part. All I can think about is how my first screamed bloody murder when they brought him to me after his circumcision. I feel guilty knowing he will be in pain afterwards, not to mention probably scared shitless during. The nurse just told me that they wrap their top half in a warm blanket and strap their legs down for the procedure... I feel even more disturbed knowing this is what he is going through. I'm torn over if this is truly the right thing to do, even though my first son had it done and it's largely a cultural thing in the U.S. It just feels wrong. 😢💔
@mommagotbump16, I have never really read too much about it. I've been told by my non USA native friends that it's uncommon outside of the US. I just remember how awful it was for my oldest after his. It traumatized me more than him, I think. Lol I'm so sensitive!!!
@eternalsunshine4, you're welcome!! I've seen a lot of moms slamming circs for "putting babies through unnecessary pain," so I just wanted to put it out there. 😉
That is so comforting to hear @mommagotbump16! He is doing great! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
I've seen circs done. It's not as bad as you think, if that helps. Usually baby is sucking on a paci dipped in a little sugar water so they can soothe a little bit. The nurse is usually at the head comforting baby too. The ones I saw never had a hysterical crying baby-maybe some tears at the end, but not crazy in pain. My son wasn't happy when he got back from his either, but I think it was more being separated from us because he calmed right down. Hope he's still doing ok!!
He got the circ. It looks good. He is uncomfortable and not happy, but it's done. The doctor did a good job.
more than culture. It helps with preventing infection also. Do what you believe, the earlier the better. He won't remember :)
Who cares what's "cultural" in the US it's your kid do what you feel is best
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I just want his arms wrapped around me one last time and hear words come out of his mouth that arent true "I love you".. I miss him so bad. My first love! My first relationship! He was many of my first and I know today isnt even the hardest day yet.. I literally hate that I love him so much.

Overall whats everyones thoughts on this. Me personally I dont mind lgbt .but to teach it I feel like is a waste . I can teach my own children that if they ask or even wanna know
My 5 year old brother just got circumcised due to all the infections he kept on getting & seeing him in so much pain not being able to walk makes me glad I got my son circumcised as a newborn & planning on doing the same with my second baby.

It's incredible rare outside of the US. Even the US's rate of circ is down to about 50% at the most recent polling. If you really want to know the truth behind circumcision watch this quick video (nothing graphic, I promise) ссылка Still have more questions? Visit the Whole Network on Facebook.
