Any mommies expecting boys getting him circumcised?
My reason is one, baby's dad is circumcised and like a few women that commented I want his dad to be able to give him accurate advice, and to piggy back off of the comment saying it's not medically necessary, no it's not necessary but according to my doctor, a lot of doctors medically recommend it. For plenty of reasons. there IS a greater risk for infection when they are not circumsized, mostly because a lot of boys/men don't clean the foreskin correctly. This is not only my opinion, but it is coming straight from my doctor, Who knows quite a bit about it.
I'd rather let LO go through the pain as an adult lol. I just can't stand to think of him in pain so young anyway, I don't even want them giving him shots but I know it's important lol. 😂😂 let's hope I don't try to fight any of the doctors for making him cry during the shots. 😳 what am I gonna do with myself 😂
I am my ob said it's better to get it done when they are born because if they get an infection when they are bigger it's more painful and the skin isn't soft like it is when they are just born
I had my son circumcised. I had a cousin that never had his done as a baby and when he was in his 20s he was constantly getting infections, eventually he had to get circumcised at like 27 years old and he said it was very painful and wished he would have had it done as a baby. He also said that he pees crooked now lol that doesn't matter to me but I guess it made him self conscious. Also not bashing any men with uncircumcised peniss but most men are circumcised. I think it's the 'norm' but nothin wrong with being differnt. It did look very raw and tender for a few days not gonna lie it looks rough but it really didn't seem to bother him as long as I kept plenty of Vaseline on it so the gauze didn't get stuck
I'm not saying I care about it. I could care less. If I did I wouldn't be with my man lol This is my mans opinion who is NOT circumcised. He HATES It! @supermommy23
@mommyylovesherbaby, that's why I love this app, you don't get attacked for having an opinion
she said she did but then also said he would wiggle too much and she couldn't always make sure when changing his diaper, it was yeast infections and another type I beleive but I can't remember exactly, he had so many creams n ointments prescribed
I also appreciate all you ladies for answering, I asked the same question on BC and as usual those women had to be all arrogant and extra about it.
@sarahdrew did she keep him cleaned properly?Just wondering SO is only partially circumcised (what the hell that even is I don't know lol!) and his little brother isn't at all and neither has had an infection. what kind of Infections did he get?
I had my son circumcised, my husband and I talked about it and decided to do it since my husband is.... I had a friend who didn't do it because her husband wasn't and his family didn't beleive in it and her son (my godson) had I can't even remember exactly how many infections before he was even 2 and his Dr advised her to get it done and he was just under 2 years old and had to have it done
These comments are so misinformed it hurts. It is not medically necessary for baby boys to be circumcised. It doesn't prevent infections. Babies die from having that "tiny bit of skin" cut off. Little boys are born the way they are for a reason. If they didn't need a foreskin, evolution would have gotten rid of it. Please research! Most insurances won't even cover it now!
My first son is circumcised, as his dad. If insurance covers it I intend to get this one circumcised as well.
@xoamac depends on the guy I would disagree my son and s/o both haven't been and you can't even tell it's just a tiny bit of extra skin
@mommyylovesherbaby, my husband is circumcised so I don't want my son to feel too different and his dad is the one can teach him how to bathe correctly and take care of his hygiene correctly. Also read and heard there's less risk of infection and it's easier to clean. If my husband wasn't circumcised I would have opted not to.
Yes ma'am! We decided to do it because since his dad is, we think it's important to have it done the same so in case he ever has any questions or ever needs help cleaning it properly, he can ask my boyfriend & he'll be able to tell him from his own experience. Whereas if we decided against it - my boyfriend wouldn't know much about being uncircumcised, so he wouldn't be able to give him accurate advice on things like that. Also, we both went to school with guys that got made fun of and were humiliated all because they were not circumcised... Neither of us could bare that happening to our son. Especially if it happened because we, as his parents, decided against a routine procedure. Boys will be boys and they WILL hear about it when they get older if they aren't circumcised. Ask any guy out there who has been in a locker room with an uncircumcised guy... I guarantee the other guys didn't just sit there and ignore it.. It's sad!
My fiancé is not circumcised and he always wished he was. That's the main reason. I left it up to him bc he is the one that lives through it. It's also not very hygienic. They have to keep it clean bc they are at greater risk for infection. Also, I know women are cruel and talk about it like its so nasty when they're not and it causes a lot of insecurity.
I am, because i hear it prevents infections and it makes it less sensitive. But I might look at both sides before I officially decide
I opted out! I looked at the pros and cons and decided against it and he's going on 3 and haven't had any issues yet...
@marissamiller @raegenice @xoamac What are you ladies reason for getting it done? Sorry If that comes off as a weird question lol.
