Plastibell circumcision

Hi my 10 week old has his circumcision last week with the plastibell method. The plastibell has fallen off but it doesn't look like i expected. The shaft seems larger than the head and there's a clear line of where the cut was. We've sent a picture to out doctors and they said it's fine. Is this normal? Does it start to look more normal as it heals and he gets older. I'm starting to panic a little bit.

Hey, we had the same thing and our doctor said it’s normal. It does reduce but we are a month over and it still doesn’t look 100% recovered to me. I was told is it normal and looks better as he gets older. I wouldn’t panic if I were you, I know it’s odd and scary to see but if doctors said it’s fine then I’m sure it is

Hey, we’re your boys in pain? My son has his tomorrow and I’m extremely anxious about it.

@Lauren Hey, my son was only in pain for about 2 days so we kept on top of calpol. He was then fine, like nothing even happened. His now all healed and it looks great. Wishing you all the best!

Advice for ways to have a baby?

I ended up getting pregnant on a one night stand, and I’ve been a single mom the last 5 years. I thought I’d have met the one by now, but it hasn’t happened, and I want another baby. My daughter asks me every single day for a sister. We are both ready to expand our family, and I can handle being a single mom of two. I just don’t know what method of expanding our family is right for us. Any advice?

Fostering in my area will be near impossible for us. I looked into this first, and they have very strict restrictions for who can foster non familial children.

This test is 9dpo, this is following a chemical pregnancy so I am trying to remain positive but its really hard! I feel like the line should be stronger? Anyone had similiar and it got stronger?

Child support

If a woman has been with a man who is not the biological father, but has signed the birth certificate and made threats, touched her inappropriately, and tried to contact Child Protective Services (CPS) on her behalf, can he sue her if he claims he’s not the father? If so, can she get a blood test to determine paternity and then remove him from the birth certificate? Also, if she puts him on child support?
