Hi guys I was hoping I could get some advice and reassurance. I would really appreciate no judgement, as I know some of you ladies are very passionate about this subject! So I am having a boy in May and I am so excited! I was pretty sure that I was not going to circumcise him but now I am having some doubts. Bad I know but I blame the hormones! So my husband has basically said that he would agree to whatever I thought was best although he does have a slight preference to circumcising him. Anyway, coming to these boards are what actually made me second guess my decision. It seems like every other thread on here is about redness, infections, painful swelling, urinary tract infections, smelly discharge, lopsided penises do to beads, tight foreskins, etc. It is really starting to freak me out a bit. I really don't want my son to have to deal with these issues. Since my husband is circumcised I feel like he would have no idea how to deal with these issues if they came up. I certainly won't and as I live in TX the circumcision rate is pretty high except in the latino communities where we don't live. I don't think pediatricians here would have any idea what to do either and would probably recommend circumcision. I just know that if a doctor recommended it my husband would say absolutely do it 100% and I don't want my son to have to go through that as a toddler. I have 5 sisters and we never had issues like painful vaginas or smelly discharge and only got UTIs much later on in life. Anyway, I guess I am just hoping there are women out there who had sons that never had any of these issues. Is it just part of having a foreskin or is this just a bad sample size? I really feel discouraged reading all the threads on this site. Sorrry about the rambling I am just second guessing myself.
