Our experience was also great. My husband and I were already on the same page when it came to wanting to circumcise and like Camryn I’ve worked in medical over a decade so that helped with us making our decision. We opted to do it at the six week mark. It was sad, but the procedure was over quickly and cleaning it/taking care of the wound took five days. They’ll explain how to clean it to minimize infection as well as what to look out for. If you want to do it for the health of your son because you feel it’s best, then do it and don’t let anybody change your mind on it
I have 2 boys I’m going on my 3rd and both experiences so far were really great. Me and my husband agreed that’s what we wanted to do and unfortunately we didn’t get to be with them when they got them done they took them the next day after I had them and brought them back to my room but they never had any issues it was really a easy recovery and taking care of the circumcision was also really easy they showed you how to clean it and what to do to keep it from getting infected and it took about a week maybe a little more to fully heal but overall we didn’t have any issues. I know it can be scary because everybody’s experiences are different and some people could have bad experiences but at the end of the day what you and your significant other choose to do is completely up to you. Don’t be afraid to use your voice (not saying you are) there’s just some not a lot but some people who try to tell you or convince you other ways what to do with your baby , but you’ve got this! 🫶🏼
no circ for us. there’s a lot of misinformation on it based on out of date research and a lot of medical professionals are still behind too. there’s good info out there if you aren’t sure what choice to make and want more info on leaving your baby intact
I saw a video of a urologist being asked about her opinion on circumcision and her response was “I’ve never had a circumcised patient with penile cancer”
3 boys here & all good experiences. you typically shouldn’t see the procedure anyway & they don’t remember this & usually recover pretty quickly. i have however met guys in adulthood who wished their parents had circumcised them
Our experience was great with my son. Yes it is traumatizing to watch, but they numb it and it’s quick. You’ll just need Vaseline and gauze to place on their penis after each diaper change (they’ll give you stuff). I’m actually surprised that the midwife tried to talk you out of it. He will need the vitamin K after he’s born (I am doing the oral vitamin k drops, you can do whatever you feel is right) but I recommend circumcision, mostly after working in the medical field for almost 6 years. You’re doing great mama!! Don’t let anyone try to change your mind.
