It's completely a personal decision that you and your OH have to make. You cannot make your decision based off of anyone elses opinion. Everyone has a different background and were raised different. Especially here on this board, we are from all over the world.
I am here in the US and it is a very common practice. It wasn't even a question for us. Here it is done one day after birth. Neither one of my boys even flinched when it was done. The PlastiBel that they use here takes all of 2 seconds to perform and it's done.
You should really research it so that that you and OH feel that you have made the decision that best suits your beliefs. Good Luck!
