Add me to the asked my DH what he wanted to do about our son's foreskin. I honestly don't care what anyone does, I feel like it's one of those you're the parents you make that choice for your kid. I care more if you're one of those pray your kids illness away. That I have no time for.

Yea my husband will make the final decision too. He's leaning toward not circumcising but I worry about cleaning it properly! Any moms with uncircumcised kids that could shed some light on this?
I had my 3-hour glucose test on Wednesday, and toward the end of it these two ladies with kids around 5ish and 2ish came into the OB's office. The nurse called the ladies back, but the ladies told the kids to stay in the waiting room and the older kid was "in charge of looking after" the other. I was the only adult out there, but I wasn't feeling the whole babysitting thing... I was struggling to stay awake and keep from getting sick at that point. The younger kid was wreaking havoc on the tables of pamphlets and the older one kept looking to me to say something... but I didn't do a thing about it. Not my circus, not my monkeys.
So there's this boy. He kinda stole my heart. He calls me "Mom"
My confession....I'm loving the fact that I'm on bed rest. Sure it might sound selfish but I'm a stay at home mom and it's rare I get to think about just myself. It's kind of nice to be waited on for once, to have others take care of me. I am having a having a hard time not doing things myself, and sometimes I'm still shocked when I get snapped at to sit my ass back down.
I'll be happy when I'm better but why not enjoy the pampering while I have no other choice?
I confessed previously to wanting to start a circumcision thread but was too scared of the potential shit storm so never did. I also was in the same boat as you guys with having DH decide, except he was always so wishy-washy and we need to pay before 32 weeks to get the discount my doctors office offers, so we were running low on time. I did force him to make the final decision as a matter of principle.
My FFFC: DH and I haven't had sex since midway through first trimester because he's terrified of something happening to the baby and I'm pretty frustrated. As a result, I've been using my vibrator more than I'd like to admit and running through batteries. I'm tempted to take new batteries from the baby's bouncer as she clearly owes me lol.

"The cleaning, the scrubbing will wait til tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
For all those who never encountered chaffing until now you are lucky! Pretty much since puberty I've had these thunder thighs. Anyways I took @theshannondee advice and bought the maternity bike short spanx things off amazon. When they came in yesterday I was like how are these tiny things gonna fit on this huge body?! But they are amazing!!! No chaffing and they support the giant belly. Buy them people and save your body!
1. I have a really hard time letting people wait on me/ help me. This is especially true with my mom mainly bc I love her and she is my best friend but she is up my ass.
2. I have sock OCD/ obsession. I have to wear socks to be comfortable and I can only wear a specific brand which I buy in bulk to avoid not having enough. This has been a problem my whole life, as a toddler I would refuse to take them off in water situations (beach, pool, tub). Now I can handle wearing sandals but after a while my feet ache and I need the socks.
FFFC: I didn't let my husband be the full decision maker when it came to circumcision, just because he has a penis. Just because he has one, doesn't mean that he is making the decision for his own. But I come from a family where probably half are circumcised, and half aren't....and it has been about 50/50 when it came to all of my nanny boys as well. Being Team Green with our first, my husband was for it, and I was on the fence after doing the research. I finally couldn't decide, and said "If it is a boy, since I am so on the fence and you want it done.....it can be done. But if it is a girl, I get to decide when she gets her ears pierced..." He said that wasn't fair because piercing ears was altering her body without her permission. I said "What do you think circumcision is? At least if she hates the earrings, she can take them out. Your son can't sew his foreskin back on." If I wasn't so on the fence, I would have fought more for whatever direction I wanted to take...but I wouldn't have let JUST him make the decision based on his penis-stats. We ended up having a girl so it didn't matter in the end. However, this time around, he is kind of on the fence about circumcision. I know plenty of men that are circumcised and chose not to have it done on their son(s)...its not like they are running around comparing each other's penises.
On that note, I don't really care for the most part if other people do it to their kids, or don't do it to their kids. The only people I side-eye, are people that go to the extremes like the Heather Hironimus court case, when they were fighting over the right to circumcise or not circumcise their 4 year old (who said that he didn't want to be circumcised). I cannot imagine circumcising a four year old (unless there were medical reasons).
Re: circumcision & cleaning- I've asked around a lot and my friends with uncircumcised sons all said cleaning is nothing of note. A few of my friends with girls told stories about q-tipping poop out of vaginas, so I'm actually relieved I'm not in that boat right now.
I'll bite. We don't plan on circumcising. It's elective non-essential surgery that is purely for cosmetic reasons, and I'll go so far as to say I believe it is genital mutilation. Also uncircumcised penises (apparently, I don't have one) have more sensation during sex/masturbation and don't need lube to jerk off. That's a life time of birthday presents I just gave my son right there.
DH is uncircumcised, so I thought he would want to stick with that for this baby. I was leaning more towards circumcision, but told myself if DH was adamant about it I would would be ok with that too. I was surprised when he brought it up that he wanted to circumcise DS. He said there are some hygiene differences, but it is nothing outrageous. He never had any issues with infections. He does have to keep it groomed down there because he is a hairy guy, and says sometimes the hair can stick to the foreskin and be uncomfortable. I did not ask too many questions about that one... I think it's a personal decision, and get irritated when each side demonizes the other for something that really isn't any of their business.
My girlfriend came over last night with her 4 week old son and dd with dinner. After, she breastfed him, he pooped and I offered to change him which led to asking her thoughts on circumcision. She and her husband chose to do it. She then told me how her younger brother was not c.c. and is now wanting surgery. She went on to say that he is sexually active and apparently it is painful so maybe something else is going on but it sounded as if it's not a cosmetic issue. She told me her mother and father gave her the "stink eye" when she and DH made their decision for their own son but knew it was THEIR decision. Long story short, my DH and I have agreed to have it done for our son. In my opinion it just seems like he would be less likely to develop infection. Again, just our choice as I am sure parents have plenty of valid reasons just to leave it the way it was made.
EDIT: I did want to add that growing up in and around NYC, there have been plenty of friends and acquaintances of families who have had their babies bris, a hebrew right of passage and blessing that has been tradition for thousands of years. Some see it for more than a cosmetic purpose but a religious one.
I'll risk the fallback and weigh in on the circumcision issue: we're not doing it. I let my husband decide, and he knew pretty quickly that he didn't want it. It's not a necessary surgery, and as @elenabrent pointed out, it's for purely cosmetic reasons, so for us it's kind of like, 'Why would we want to put our son through that?' We have nothing at all against those who decide to circumcise, but it definitely is one of those to each their own situations.
@elenabrent I had always heard the same thing about sensation, but I read an article the other day that says it's not true (that there is no significant difference between circumcised and not). I read a summary of the research, not the actual research itself, but thought it was interesting anyways. Sensation was not the primary factor in the decision so didn't really matter to us either way.
@elenabrent right there with you. I think it's a personal decision that couples need to make for their children but for me it wasn't a question at all. I don't want to make a permanent decision about anyone's genitals just like I wouldn't want those decisions made about mine. My husband is circumcised so we discussed it because I did want his input but he didn't even stop to think, and wishes his parents hadn't elected to have it done for him.
I don't judge anyone's personal choice but I just couldn't imagine making that choice for my son. But I also wouldn't pierce my infant either when they can't consent, but that's just me.
Yea my husband will make the final decision too. He's leaning toward not circumcising but I worry about cleaning it properly! Any moms with uncircumcised kids that could shed some light on this?
You clean it just like a finger. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT pull the skin back. It's fused on to the head for the first several years of a boys life. It's natures way of helping it stay clean. In fact, keep an eye on the nurses (and anyone else that changes his diaper), if they do any diaper changes for you, as this is (unfortunately) not common knowledge.
@elenabrent "Also uncircumcised penises (apparently, I don't have one) have more sensation during sex/masturbation and don't need lube to jerk off. That's a life time of birthday presents I just gave my son right there." <---- I have heard this too. My husband commented that the extra sensation could be both a blessing and a curse ;-)
We (The US) are about the only developed nation that does it without there being a medical necessity. Both our OB and Ped don't recommend doing it as its just not (typically) needed. And we live in Ohio... not the most forward thinking state. We are team green, so it was a discussion we needed to have. I refused to just let my husband have all the say simply because he has a penis. And he wanted my thoughts on the issue as well. His opinion was very important to me, as mine was to him. This is our baby, so we both deserved to have equal input on our thoughts/feelings/opinions on the issue.
Pretty sure DH and I didn't speak to each other for a whole day last pregnancy because of the circumcision argument. Very difficult and personal decision, especially when parents cannot agree.
"The cleaning, the scrubbing will wait til tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
I'm going to piggyback off of @HMcDade1 with the antibiotic thing.
A few months back my pitbull got a uti. We did the full UA and culture with antiobiotics, and shortly thereafter she developed a horrible yeasty skin and ear infection which required another round of a different antibiotic/topical antibiotic cream. Low and behold, not even a month after the first uti, and 2 weeks after her skin finally cleared, she had another uti. Reluctant to repeat another month of antibiotics so soon I switched my dog to a limited ingredient dog food, started dropping cranberry pills in her food in the mornings, and pouring ACV on her nighttime food. She's been peeing normally for 2 months now.
I always advocate for veterinary care, and if she hadn't improved in a few days with the food switch/acv/cranberry pills, we would have gone straight to the vet. I feel like her immune and digestive system got overwhelmed by the antibiotics, allowing bad bacteria to get a foothold and preventing good bacteria from doing its job.
That's my FFFC, I occasionally 'home treat' my dogs. Two of my dogs receive locally sourced honey for their allergies (with terrific results). Upset stomachs get chicken, white rice, and canned pumpkin. Anything lasting more than 2 days, or a hard stomach feel goes to the vet immediately (blockages are medical emergencies).
@elenabrent the sensation part came up in our discussion too. We were at dinner a while back with some friends who just had a boy, and DH and her SO were talking about it. Her SO felt strongly about not circumcising, so they didn't. He said he had to have an emergency circumcision when he was 19, and since then sex just hasn't felt the same for him. Ever since then I have wondered if it was the circumcision itself that caused the change in sensation, or the underlying cause for the emergency circumcision, which he did not disclose. It got me thinking!
That would be so hard @cosmic+Love! As much as I was annoyed with MH being non-commital, that seems better than both of us feeling strongly and not agreeing! Especially since it's a yes or no, not a lot of room for compromise
We recently found out our baby has a penis! We are not circumcising it. I was leaning toward not doing it as it is an elective, unnecessary procedure for cosmetic reasons and for the life of me I can't understand why scalpel + genitals doesn't require anesthesia. DH (who is circumcised himself) feels adamantly that circumcision of boys or girls is genital mutilation and insists we never permanently modify our child's body in any way without their consent. Case closed for us. I've worked in daycares with newborns and toddlers and have never noticed a difference changing/ cleaning circumcised or uncircumcised children- all LOs have creases that need to be wiped.
@nerdchild I'm in the same boat with home treating my pup! My vet actually encourages it and will often suggest OTC/home remedies to try before bringing him in if you're open to it. I'm searching for local honey to try for allergies now after you talked about it and my vet is 100% supportive (called them to get their opinion).
I don't have too much to say, but I'll jump in on the circumcision conversation. I'm having a girl, but before we knew what we were having, I was really nervous to bring up the topic with DH. He is uncircumcised, but had hinted that he didn't like it much, so I wasn't sure what he'd say. We talked about it on the way to our A/S just in case it was a boy, and he said he hated being uncircumcised. Not for cosmetic reasons or anything, he said it's annoying to him. So he said if it was ok with me, any boys we might have would be circumcised. I thought that was a little interesting. I really have no opinion either way, and don't judge those who have a strong opinion at all. Everybody is so polite about this though, that's kind of fantastic!
@PhoebeJune1984 So funny that you brought up girls getting their ears pierced! Not sure how it ever came up in high school but there was a family with 4 girls and 1 boy. The girls all had ears full of piercings before they were 15 (like 4/5 up the lobe and at least 1 cartilage on each ear). I remember someone asking our softball coach (their dad) about it and he said "My wife's rule. Boys get circumcised and girls get earrings." That has never left me and I'm not sure why so it was funny that you said almost the same thing.
@elenabrent the sensation part came up in our discussion too. We were at dinner a while back with some friends who just had a boy, and DH and her SO were talking about it. Her SO felt strongly about not circumcising, so they didn't. He said he had to have an emergency circumcision when he was 19, and since then sex just hasn't felt the same for him. Ever since then I have wondered if it was the circumcision itself that caused the change in sensation, or the underlying cause for the emergency circumcision, which he did not disclose. It got me thinking!
I know someone that got circumcised (by choice, not medical reasons) as an adult. He did say that it felt very different, and liked uncircumcised sex better, but that he didn't regret making the decision to get circumcised. He said that if he could have the look of a circumcised penis, but the feeling of sex with the uncircumcised penis....he would have the best of both worlds.
@schaze DH had similar comments about it. We literally just started this discussion the other day. Being out of town for work has given me some extra time to start thinking about things we haven't discussed (circumcision if LO is a boy, prepping a will... all sorts of things). I'm interested to engage in an actual conversation (ie not one via text) when I get home next week.
Also, I just want to add how impressed I am with all of you ladies. This can be a serious hot-topic and everyone has been very considerate of that. It's nice to see the healthy conversation with opinions on both sides.
FFFC: I tried Nutella this week for the first time and just don't seem to understand the hype around it. I mean it was okay, but not as freaking delicious as everyone makes it out to be.
Serious hot button circumcision discussion, July ladies are polite and civil. Post an annoying AW thread in the wrong place, July ladies will rain hellfire on you. Bumping done right.
I will also point out that our sons will be raised in a generation where A LOT of people are uncircumcised. I think many men our husband's age are in the penial minority with their foreskins in tact, and I have a few friends who hate their foreskins because it felt othering. There are going to be a lot more kids uncircumcised these days, and I don't think it will be the socially alienating experience it was 30 years ago.
Also, re: bris. I actually worked for a long time in a Jewish museum and had more than a few bris performed in my office (the mohel I worked with did the majority of the circumcision privately and a ceremonial snip in front of the audience), so I am well aware that for some cultures it is not purely cosmetic. I, however, am not Jewish. So I don't have any religious reasons to chose circumcision.

Whenever we find time to give our filthy toddler a bath, DH and I always split bath duty. I do the sudsing and rinsing and DH comes in when I'm done to supervise play and take DS out. Last week, I came back in the bathroom during DS's bath to put away some towels. I found both DS and DH gleefully blowing bubbles in the bath water. Adorable, right? I never told DH that DS had proudly announced minutes earlier that he had peed in the water.
Before we found out we were having a girl we discussed circumcision a little bit. I did not want to circumcise, but my husband did. He isn't circumcised himself, but always felt like an outcast because of it. Then we found out we're having a little lady and the discussion stopped. I'm still against it and that won't change. My husband was on the fence the last conversation we had before it was never brought up again. He never really looked into it before, and once we started reading further together it seemed as though his opinion started to change. Sooo we'll see how he feels if we have a boy in the future.
I love the foreskin debate I was at a baby shower a few weeks ago and people started discussing circumcision and I mentioned that my son was uncut. I immediately became some type of celebrity with people asking me questions about it and saying stuff like "oh, well your husband must be uncut if you son is...." Um, wat?? Seriously no one else should be talking about MY HUSBAND'S genitals. So here is my circumcision story:
Originally we had decided to circumcise DS...but at the hospital after he was born the pediatrician who was on staff at the time refused to do it because I have a genetic bleeding disorder and my son could possibly have the disorder as well. The results of surgery on a newborn with my bleeding disorder could have been catastrophic. I'm kind of glad that the decision was made for us and very glad that we ended up not actually getting our son cut. There is no additional cleaning needed as the foreskin stays in place. Once he can pull the foreskin back he should be old enough to clean it himself anyways. Also, since it's technically a medically unnecessary surgery, it would not have been covered by our insurance, so we would have had that as an additional out of pocket expense on top of all our other medical bills for the birth, etc. Not worth it IMO. I don't see much of point unless you are Jewish or Muslim or have some other real cultural/religious significance to it. My husband was worried that my son might "get made fun of" someday for being uncut but I believe the overall rate of circumcision is going down, so I don't think this is true at all. Also, maybe this may be TMI but in my experience, foreskin (or no foreskin) is seriously NBD when comes to sexy time.
Before we found out we were having a girl we discussed circumcision a little bit. I did not want to circumcise, but my husband did. He isn't circumcised himself, but always felt like an outcast because of it. Then we found out we're having a little lady and the discussion stopped. I'm still against it and that won't change.

He never really looked into it before, and once we started reading further together it seemed as though his opinion started to change. Sooo we'll see how he feels if we have a boy in the future.
A few of my friends have told their husbands that if they wanted to make the decision, as the penis possessors in the relationship, they had to do research. I was really surprised by how many of them (maybe all?) decided against circumcising their sons.
We will be circumcising our son. Well, WE won't be doing it, but you get the idea. We made the decision as a couple and it just seemed like the best choice for us.
I am honestly not concerned with what other people's babies' penises look like. I feel like I have so many other things to worry about in regards to my child that I can't be bothered right now to worry about others.
My real confession: I feel like I am possibly less attracted to babies now that I'm pregnant. Before, I would stare at strangers' babies and get all sorts of fuzzy feelings and just want to snuggle them. Now, I can see a baby and not really care. Sure, they're cute. And sometimes I'd like to hold it. I almost feel like my body has betrayed me. Now that all those brain chemicals have done their job, made me want a baby, and I've gotten pregnant, they're like, "No thanks, we're good."
Obviously, I'm so excited for MY baby and I cannot wait to see him and love him and hold him forever. Other babies just don't do it for me anymore.
