I'm 29 weeks pregnant with my first baby boy and I have a 5 year old daughter. So this boy stuff is…

I circumcised per dad and I asked his opinion on how he felt about it. Maybe you can do the same?

I thought you weren't supposed to pull the skin back on an uncircumcised penis? @mzstrickland1214

You need to be gentle with pulling it back. Our son wasn't circumcised

Both my boys were circumcised after they were born. It was something his dad wanted done because he had it done.

My son is uncircumcised and perfectly healthy and so is his father. 😊😊😊.

His dad isn't circumcised so we planned not to do it but I been hearing some good and bad about it

So my first 2 boys circumcision was fine. Do keep in mind that even if you do circumcise them, you still need to push the skin back (after it heals) to clean lint and dirt away from the head of the penis. This picture is my last son. He got his circumcision, and they brought him back to me. He wouldnt quit screaming, so i went to change his diaper.. And his diaper was literally completely full of blood. The nurse came in and worked on him for about 45 minutes, then they got the doctor in. They worked on him for nearly 2 hours because he wouldnt stop bleeding. Scariest moment of my life. I have never seen so much blood come out of one of my children.

I would do it I think it's easier to keep clean

@randaroo omg that's so scary . I guess there's just alot of pros and cons about doing it and not doing it.

@lykinsamanda that's what I thought too.. none of my nephew are or my baby's dad and there fine .

@beebaby no you need to pull it back gently to clean it cause there very sensitive to infection uncercomsized so you want make sure under the skin stays clean

That is literally the complete opposite of what I thought it to be. Thanks @mzstrickland1214

If you are open to some gentle intact care and information, shoot me a message. I was on the fence about circumcision during my whole pregnancy and I researched for months and read every study and would love to share information if you would like! 💙

@mzstrickland1214, that's false. You NEVER pull back a child's foreskin. It is fused to the head of the penis, sometimes until puberty. The fusion is similar to the fusion of a fingernail to a finger. By forcing the skin back it could tear skin causing infections. Here's a good intact care link written by doctors: http://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.org/for-parents/care-of-the-intact-penis/

I know. I was making sure nothing changed but it seems there is some mis education. Pulling the skin back is basically a circumcision @clothdiapermomma

I circumcised my kids, it is only because of my medical background that I know not to pull the skin back. But it seems that happens a lot here which is irritating. @clothdiapermomma thank you!

@clothdiapermomma so you just clean around it??

Aw thanks. Even with being in the medical field there is still a lot to be learned. @6.5.16

@beebaby you never pull the foreskin back. It's fused to the head of the penis. By retracting your ripping it.

I know.  Thanks.  There was a post previous to mine where a young lady stated that she just pulls her son's foreskin to clean it. That was my reply to her comment. @crunchy_momma2009

I realised this after I replied. I'm sorry :)

It's no problem. It kinda looks like I'm a lone wolf up there lol. The girl deleted her statement after everyone told her it was wrong @crunchy_momma2009

@beebaby oh goodness.

I wasn't trying to start anything I'm sorry for the miss information I just did what my doc told me to do
