Hey, we are due December 28th! Can't wait to meet our boy, but am torn whether to snip or not to snip, the less known Shakespearean sonnet. What are your thoughts? Risk of issues on both ends please!!!
I see this is your first ever post on The Bump. Boards generally discourage "drive-bys" but ours is really slow lately. However, circumcision can be a very controversial/heated issue, and people may be hesitant to share their views with a stranger (though having discussions with established members does happen). I didn't find a specific thread regarding circumcision on our board, but it looks like February had one earlier this month, so reading their responses may be helpful:
I'm having a girl, but my opinion is that it's a very personal decision and that you can't let others shame/bully you either way (which some people may try to do).
Edited to add: I wouldn't post this on any other birth month boards or jump into February's discussion. I was providing the link so you could read what others had to say about it only.
I will also add that if you have Facebook, there is a group called Your Whole Baby that is tremendously educational and helpful. You should be able to find it in a search.
