circumcision

Second day in the hospital and it was done

Personally left it to dad. So we didn’t do it. I wasn’t too sure if I was for it or against it. My kiddo is 6 now and I feel as though everything has been good god willing.

My 3 week old has his appointment on Monday. I’m so nervous 🥺

I told dad it was his choice as hes a guy. He decided to have it done

Nope. Kids can die from it. Why take the risk.

I didn’t have my babies done. Dad didn’t have it done and he wanted to keep baby intact as well.

We also just left it as is. I couldn’t deal with him having it done 😩

girl what 💀

I didn’t it’s not a necessary surgery and there isn’t enough pros in my opinion plus it’s not common in other countries but it’s up to you. I also couldn’t stand the thought of him feeling unnecessary pain even if he won’t remember.

Absolutely not for me, but it’s whatever parents choose at the end of the day. I genuinely think it’s extremely inhumane and unfair to put a baby through, I recommend everyone to watch a circumcising video on youtube if they really want it done for their child so that they understand the risks and exactly what the baby goes through. The benefits are not worth the potential risks involved and I find it weird that people care so much about the looks over the health, keep it clean and nothing is wrong with it.

My partner and I decided together for our kiddo. Both our opinions matter as we are both his parents.

It's our kiddos body and ultimately his choice. There are no significant reasons to do it so why would you?

My boys are circumcised, healed very quickly and we have no issues. Left it up to dad

But truly, nothing wrong with not doing it either! With my first, i was rushed/pressured by the nurses when I was having second thoughts and they kinda just snuck him away while I was in a daze in the early morning after birth. I was still hesitant with my second, but my husband insisted and he’s the penis owner so I never felt like it was up to me- the doctors said it’s best so we allowed it but I definitely felt guilty

nope and i’m glad his dad isn’t so i won’t have to argue whether or not to mutilate my baby’s genitals

No. Not even leaving it up to dad. Just leaving it be

Im leaving it to my son as its his body. Not to anyone else. So no im not getting rid of something they're biologically meant to have. Im leaving what belongs to him.😊

Leave it to him not dad

No no no!! Cruel and extremely painful!! Should be illegal before they can make that decision themselves tbh.

I would only do it if it was medically necessary. We didn’t plan to but my son was born with a mild deformity and the repair failed so the only option was to circumcise at 3 years old.

We wanted to circumcise our son for the benefits of decreased risk of infections and diseases, etc but can’t do it until 9 months old because of a torsion in his penis

I am leaving it to my son! My son’s dad tried to pressure me to get it done but I protested. I’m sure glad that I did because he ended up leaving us anyways! I believe that the only person capable of making such a decision is the person who will be directly affected.

We believe that circumcision is a matter of bodily autonomy and not our choice to make. Once its gone you can't put it back.

Both my boys are not circumcised. Honestly never had issues

Ew no, unless for a medical reason, it’s mutilation, abuse 🤮

All my 3 boys are circumcised, if you plan to my only advice would be to do it earlier than later. I did my last boy at almost 3 months and I think that’s late. The dr said from 1-2 weeks is best, heals quicker, less pain and the baby is less aware xx

Nope. I didn’t do it with my first boy and I’m not doing it with this one. I already told my husband no. Only because it’s not medically necessary

Nope hes still intact, did ask dad for his opinion as you know hes a man and has the same tool 😂 and dad wanted him intact too

Even if you’re planning, do it asap. Because they don’t feel the pain their pain receptors are not strong and they recover within a week I got my baby’s done when he was 3 weeks old that’s what his surgeon recommended. Healed in a week. Didn’t feel anything

Honestly i circumcised my son and i dont regret it . He had many infections before that and now he has next to none we also did it religiously as well

Yes. Waited for my son to turn one before doing it.

No.

😳

We didn't circumcise our little one (not really a choice in the uk unless medically needed) my partner was when he was born and its caused issues with certain things making my partner struggle with feelings about himself

My bf and I both agreed to get it done to avoid any issues in the future. My bf brother was the only one who wasn’t and had to get it don’t at 14 bc it almost closed up and he couldn’t use the washroom and we didn’t wanna risk anything like that for our son

Hell no. And why are we leaving it to dad? He's either circumcised or he isn't so he also doesn't know any different to you 🤣 unless he was done later for some reason... hard pass unless it's deemed medically necessary.

I did with my son 13 years ago day 2 he was born. His father is circumcised and we didn’t want him to feel different when it came to potty training or if he saw his dads one day and wondered why his looked different. Me personally, I did it because I would’ve had to be taught how to clean the extra skin. Ita also been very rare instances in my life where I seen one not circumcised. (My husband isn’t but we have a girl now so that doesn’t matter). I didn’t want to risk my son growing up and not cleaning it properly and getting some infection. It’s honestly just easier to manage after it’s done and you won’t have to worry about later on pulling skin back to clean under it. My son is happy we did it. It’s his favorite body part. 13 years no complications. I say go for it. But it’s initially up to you

Yes!

Just a personal experience but yes we did and it was very traumatizing for me. I’d recommend looking up what it looks like prior if you are planning on it. I cried and cried after we had it done because I felt so guilty for how it looked. 🥺 if I have another child and it’s a boy idk if I’ll be able to do it again.

I had planned on getting my boys circumcised but their dad, who is circumcised, said no bc boys need that extra layer of skin. All 3 of my boys are uncircumcised.

If I were to have another bay, absolutely not! Dad doesn’t get a say either. The answer is ✨ no ✨

yes, we did. with zero
complications and little to
no tears from my baby. my husband is and so are all the boys in both our families. it wasnt even a question of us getting it done. thanks kaizer! lol

Got my son circumcised. Surprisingly fast healing no complications

We did not circumcise. Our son recently turned 1, and I don’t regret the decision to not.

I always find it weird when people use the excuse that other males they are related to are circumcised so their son should be too. Outside of cultural practices, it’s really not offering much benefit. It’s not like people are constantly looking at each other’s genitalia to compare. If they are, especially adults to children, then you may need to re-evaluate the company you keep.

In Brazil no one gets circumcised, and We don’t hear about anyone getting problems. All the man of my family is not circumcised. My boy was born in the USA and I did not do his. Now he is 3 and everything okay easy to clean, not pain nothing.

Usually man that is not circumcised experience they first time having sex almost like us. Cause it is when the skin tear completely and them then the gain full acess hahahha

My son was circumcised the day after he was born. It was my decision and his dad agreed.

We got our son circumcised 2nd day born. Dad and i agreed cuz hes circumsized. If you wait itll be more painful id think cuz its more foreskin than as a newborn

We did not circumcise, but it wasn't "left to dad", we made that joint decision after researching the pros and cons of both options. My husband didn't magically know the best choice just because he has a penis.
