Circumcision Question
Hello,
I know that this is a controversial topic. Those of you who have boys or are expecting boys, have you or will you cicumcise? I have a friend who is very against it and is telling me all kinds of crazy statistics. When I looked into it myself I find her statistics wrong. I am just wondering what the general population has done or will do.
Thanks so much!

Re: Circumcision Question
I feel very strongly about circumcision. DH and I decided not to do it when DS arrrives. DH was circumcised and really wishes that he wasn't. Unless there are religious reasons, IMO, there is no reason to circumcise your child. Nature makes us that way for a reason. I feel it is the same as female circumcision and is quite a barbaric, outdated practice. My father was not circumcised and has told me that he is so very glad that it wasn't done.
Either way, it isn't life or death and you'll make the choice that you and DH are comfortable with.
Our son in circum and the next one (if a boy) will be again.
My husband is not circumsized because it is not custom in his country of origin, but he absolutely wanted our son to be. I was fine either way. We had our son circumsized. It is really a mix these days whether boys are or not. It is up to you and your husband.
