I HAD MY 20 WEEKS SCAN AND I HAVE A LITTLE BOY IN MY TUMMY!! WOOO!!
But I was also thinking, for all you mummies to be out there, are you thinking of getting your son circumcised? And for those of you with girls or who don't know what you're having, would you get your baby circumcised ? Does anybody know the pros and cons in doing so ?

i have 3 boys my 2 older sons were both done under aneasthetic at 6mnths old as thats how they do it in australia my youngest is now 4mnths and will be getting done at 6 mnths thers so many different opinions on the pro's and con's but it really is a personal decision and preference.

i'm having a little boy and we're not sure about it. it is a personal choice and something that doesn't have to be rushed. we're just debating on now or later or if its the right thing at all.

I started a thread in I think first trimester about this. Definately opened up a can of worms!! So many people are against it, but my BF just had her newborn done and her boy went great. Of course it's under anaesthetic. Our doc here won't do it if they r over 3wks.

I didn´t have DS done, not because I disagree with it, I just didn´t think it was necessary and DH didn´t want him to have it done x

Definitely not unless a valid medical reason.

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!

i remember that thread. Was quite a debate.

for me personally Im doing it for reliegous reasons and my fiance was also.

This is a bigtime personal choice.

I would absolutely definately agree that it is a very personal decision!!!

We have decided that if we ever have sons then he will be, OH is and it is something we have known we will have done.

I am not the sort of person to push my views on anyone else but that is what we would do.

Hope you make a decision that you and babies daddy are happy with.

Congratulations on the blue bump!!!
