Anyone who has gone through the expierence of having their baby boy circumcised?
I am having a baby boy and its been 15 years since I had a boy last. My son didn't get circumcised until he was 2 years old. His father didn't believe in doing since he wasn't. But I've always been for it but since I've never experienced it with a baby I'm not sure what to expect with a newborn. Things have changed since 15 years ago. I'm nervous, I want to be as prepared as can be. Thanks ladies.

@QweenNique your son probably passed out from the shock and pain...
@mom60511 I agree with that. When I worked at a preschool I had a child who at 5 years old had to get circumcised because hid foreskin stopped growing causing tightness around his penis. Its a much bigger deal as they get older than it is when their babies. But it is everyone's own decision and after what I went through with my son I am not risking it happening again. He wont remember it.
My 13 yr old brother is not circumsized and has always had problems with infections under the fold of skin, and has to go thru the embarrasment of telling my mother or me about is so that we can get him into the dr, and then he has to go thru showing the dr his area...its a mess. no matter how hygenically cautious a teen is, they will always be prone to infections. And he has had infections sinve he was a toddler and thru elementary school, all his life pretty much and my mom always kept him clean. So to those who say it has no health benefits and its purely cosmetic- your wrong.
I'm getting my son circumsized absolutely and recommend it to all mommas having a boy.
My first son is circumsized and is this one a boy I'm not. New experience for me also.
And in no way am i saying its what everyone should do i don't judge others preferences just as i don't want to be judged on my preferences not to breast feed or how i won't put my baby in a walker... every momma knows what's best for her baby, just remember my story when thinking about what to do
Thats just how i feel
