Circumcision!!??

Dr. Mom,

I am torn on the subject of circumcision! I circumcised my first born son (pregnant with second) and just did it because it was the common thing to do. All my brothers were circumcised and so was every other male I knew. Until recently....I had no idea of what really happens during a cirucmcision. I know this is a HOT subject....just like the subject of vaccines but I am torn. My husband is circumcised and so is my first son and now he's pushing me to circumcise this one. I watched a video of a true circumcision and it broke my heart! It broke my heart for what I had put my son through as well.

I know it's a perosnal decision to make but did you circumcise your sons or not? can you share more about your experiences with this as well as others on this forum. I have eight weeks left in this pregnancy to decide what I am to do. I have no support on my side of the family or my husband and his side. They think it's GROSS NOT to circumcise! Tweet
