this is an arguement waiting to happen. this subjet always is.

ok my advice is to make a list of the pro's and cons in regard to having it done. use medical reasons (not peoples opinions) to decide, (i personally think just because dad is done is NOT a good reason)
Visit your local sergion who would be the one to perform it, and get some of the info from them aswell.

I did have my son done and i will be having my twin boys done aswell when they are about a week old. If you would like to see my lists of why we chose to have it done i am more than happy to PM it to you. to look over.

on our personal list we only had one reason not to have it done and thats that something might go wrong but in life this can happen so many times with different things.
I respect people who choose not to have it done as their lists and reasons would be different to mine.

i will just let you know that in my mothers group their are quite a few who are done. and over 1/2 my friends have also chosen to do it as well.

I just recomend to do whats right for you and not what you think is popular.

i live in sydney if you would like to speak to a sergion to get facts about how they do it i am more than happy to tell you a few names of Dr's who came very highly recomended to me by my midwife while i was PG with DS. also you can actually watch it being done with the plasti bell on a medical site i found. cant remember what it was but it was very helpful.

also my mum workes in a age hostel and the men who are not done have many more medical issues than the ones who are

Good luck
