need links for pregnant mom

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Hi wise women,
I have a friend who is pregnant with her first, a boy, and is planning to circumcise. I think she is open-minded and probably just has never really heard any information about why you wouldn't. She was told by a friend that it is very hard to change a baby's diaper and keep them clean if they are not circ'ed, because you have to pull the foreskin back and clean under there!! And that poop gets in there and it's a big mess! I told her that I have two intact boys and tried to explain, but I would like to send her some links so that she can be sure she is making an informed decision, not just doing something by default.

What should I send her?

Thanks!

There are many links in the Resources sticky that would be helpful in this case.

Here are the 3 best in my opinion. One is by doctors, covers all the typical concerns, including human rights, and has references. But it is long. the other two are pamphlets.

And here is a video on line:

My favorite: www.oknocirc.blogspot.com -- very friendly, easy to read format, everything is on one page

Another great one that has some real credibility from the way it is laid out and how it is endorsed:
