Pushed back circumcision date.
His circumcision was scheduled today at 9:30 this morning but around 7 o'clock we got a phone call from the hospital telling us they had to reschedule to next week because the wasn't going to be in today. I should've asked for an earlier date. This is making me NOT want to get him circumcised. The longer we wait the more nervous I get. I want to get this over with. He'll be three weeks when he gets circumcised. SMH.

However, you should follow your instincts too. If you feel like its something you don't want to do anymore, then that's fine too. If he chooses to have it done later, then he can worry about that then.
I have a date. Next Tuesday, October 8th. So that's good. I still want him to get circumcised. I'm just pissed it got pushed back.
I had a cousin who didn't get her sons done until he was 5yo. He was born at a catholic hospital that doesn't do circumcisions. Everyone told her to go to another hospital while he was still young but she didn't listen. We don't know why she waited so long. He got circumcised at 5 and he was in pain and wouldn't pee. He ended up getting a UTI and bladder infection.
What I did for my son after he was circumcised besides constantly cleaning the area as soon as he peed was I used cotton cloth diapers until it was healed. Not all the time but more often then not. Mostly after I knew... Okay, thought, he was done popping. It let the area breath. If I'm remembering correctly it only took him five days to heal. I just used the cheap white ones with pins, but I sewed velcro dots on the corners instead of using pins.
I know not everyone likes cloth diapers but I didn't see anyone offer that as a suggestion. If you're still accepting them.
@jules: I hope so. True.
@sands3: They did the same with my cousins son. I also got gauze pads from when we raided the pediatricians office.
@ExcitedForOctober: I kind of hope they do the plastibell. If not I have extra gauze, vaseline and ointment at home.
@Frantastic: How fast?
