I'm really glad I'm anti-circumcision because I really don't think I could have handled the stress of keeping it clean and worrying if it is going to get infected.
@tabithapelt409, you shouldn’t be telling a mom what she should or shouldn’t do with their baby, based solely on experience, because not each experience is the same, a lot of that research has been debunked and a lot of doctors use outdated information. I chose Circumcision for my son for the reasons you have listed because that was the research I found and I wish I had been more thorough. Future baby boys will not be circumcised. Ultimately it’s up to the mother. Wether you get your baby circumcised or not, no one is doing the mom life better. My husband is not circumcised and doesn’t have the problems listed by you. I hope it’s not taken the wrong way by what I’m saying, just understand; just because it happened to someone you know or you doesn’t mean it will happen for everyone.
@damiensmommy1117, I didn't circumcise mine and glad too. His dad isn't and no issues. Even when my mom tried to push her opinion. Saying it's going to cause him issues when he's older. I told her when he's older if he chooses to cut it off for having issues he can. But his dad is 25 and no issues over it. And I expect him to teach him how to clean it
@damiensmommy1117, and exactly boys learn how to clean there parts it's natural! I don't agree in having it done for hygiene reasons it's a matter of just cleaning properly and you'll have no problems haha!
@charliefreddiesmumma861, laur I had to laugh at your comment then haha!xxx
These facts are from a website my son's pediatrician gave me. I already knew all this stuff long before that because I did my research on it months ago.
Also, it sounds like your boyfriend has Balanitis which is most commonly caused by poor hygiene and is not limited to uncircumcised penises. Thank you for trying to be helpful, but I won't be circumcising my son, with the great approval of his doctor.
Circumcision does not prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) or other diseases. Over the years, the claims that circumcision prevents various diseases have repeatedly been proven to be exaggerated or outright false. UTIs occur more frequently in girls than in boys, and are treated with antibiotics. While most adult men in the United States are circumcised, our rates of sexually transmitted diseases (including HIV) are as high — or higher — than those in countries where circumcision is rare.
There is no medical reason for "routine" circumcision of baby boys. No professional medical association in the United States or the rest of the world recommends routine circumcision. People in Europe, Asia and Latin America — where 90% of men are intact ("uncircumcised") and suffer no negative consequences — are often shocked to hear that American doctors and hospitals remove part of a boy's penis shortly after birth.
The foreskin provides protection and sexual pleasure. The foreskin is a natural, functional part of the body. In baby boys, it's attached to the head of the penis (glans), protects it from urine, feces, and irritation, and keeps contaminants from entering the urinary tract. The foreskin also plays an important role in sexual pleasure, due to its specialized, erogenous nerve endings and its natural gliding and lubricating functions.

@mckenziesmummy @avahcruz @charliefreddiesmumma861
Thank you ladies. I definitely won't be having him circumcised unless it's absolutely medically necessary. His dad, my fiance, obviously knows how to take care of his penis, so I have no doubt that my son will be taught how to clean and take care of himself when the time comes. I can't imagine it's that hard to figure out either.
My partner isn’t circumcised his willy certainly doesn’t smell 😂 isn’t cracked and doesn’t bleed lol! My eldest son isn’t circumcised but younger one is, because he has a medical condition, but the cleaning side of it was fine, it’s all healed now he had it done back in August :). But it’s your decision don’t let others tell you what to do @damiensmommy1117, xx
@tabithapelt409 and at least do research before spewing your unwarranted advice.

@damiensmommy1117, my boyfriend isn't circumcised and his don't smell or bleed or crack! Are you getting your son circumcised then?
@damiensmommy1117 no the doc says it's common with that but I'm just offering advice. Just think about his future and what's good for him is all. That is all. Please understand I'm just trying to give you some advice and knowledge about it.i don't mean anything mean about it
@tabithapelt409
Sounds like he was one of the rare ones who had issues. I've researched it a lot before we decided and even his doctor was glad we chose not to. She has to do it as part of her job, but she is glad when she doesn't have to.
@tabithapelt409
My fiance is not circumcised, his penis has never bled, cracked, or become infected the entire 4 years that we have been having sex. Even when I accidentally scraped it with my tooth where the skin is sensitive where it was pulled back, no blood just a red mark.
When he gets older and has a girl . It pulls back when... Well you know it's going to crack and bleed.
@tabithapelt409
You aren't supposed to pull it back. It retracts on its own. My fiance doesn't stink, doesn't bleed, and has never had an infection. Circumcision is more of a cosmetic thing, it's not as necessary as a lot of people think.
He's going to have alot of problems if you don't. Stinky, bleeding when pulled back, infections, etc
Anthony’s Circumcision was very stress free when it came to those reasons, but I wouldn’t get future boys circumcised for different reasons 😕
So I have question I'm 23 weeks and I thought a 9 lbs weight gain was good but now I'm re thinking it what is normal at this stage is it to much I'm stressing out I am really watching what I eat and I really don't over eat sad mommy here 😔

I could really use some opinions. I'm stumped and dh is no help.
I really hate tampons. I know we need them, but I really really hate them.
Can anyone please tell me how they new they miscarried. I'm not sure if I am or not I really need help.
