I just wanted to share that during this pregnancy, we have a DD age 3, I've been certain I didn't want a circumcision if we have a boy. However DH has been certain he does. So we have had a few arguements but I let it go as no sense in getting upset over it if we're having a girl. We will have an ultrasound in 4 weeks to find out the sex and make sure things are going well, as I've been very sick. I have only 1 friend who has an intact son and all my other friends/family say "It's no big deal", they think it's unncesecary for me to be making a big deal out of this, just do it, it's routine. Well I never do anything routine! But after a few weeks of listening to that I'd been thinking that if DH is so certain on this and has done some research and still wants to then I'll have to go with him on it. AFter reading alot on this forum I've decided NO WAY!!! I'm going to fight DH on this if neccesary and will not allow it! I feel so much better about the info I've receieved on the care, benifits, and how to talk to my son when he asks about his intact penis. I don't think Dh will fight me on it, I pray, if I come from the emotional impact it will have on me if I go against what I firmly believe is wrong and hurting our child. It would take me along time to forgive myself. We work so hard during pregnancy and labor/delivery to not do medications, unnecessary interventions and keep our child healthy and unharmed and then to just go ahead and do a surgical procedure on a baby days old for no neccesary reasons, makes no sense! It is not a relgious issue for us, as a christian I know we no longer have to do this becuase of Jesus...and I frimly believe that God made these boys this way and they should be left this way. For those who pray...please pray I'm either having a girl or that Dh will respond to me with emotion and be okay with leaving our son intact as God made him! Thank you for this site, for all your posts as I'm sure some were very hard to write! HUGS to those of you who have circumcised sons and regret it-those posts of the hurt the moms feel gave me tears!

so he didn't get to see how normal it really is. But DS is 4 now and happy and healthy and there is absolutely no issues with his foreskin, health-wise, or socially. He hasn't even noticed that he and daddy are different except that "I have a little penis and daddy has a big, BIG penis!"
