Yep, i totally agree with Anna too. Jesse was circumcised at 6 weeks and the only time he cried was when they gave him the local needle. He didnt cry during the proceedure or after, infact when the nurse brought him out to me he sat there talking to me the whole time we had to wait afterwards. I bought childrens panadol just incase and the first time we had to use it was him 2 month immunisation due to fever. I too was a little worried before hand but am glad we decided to do it. I know so many people who have had to get their son done at a later age and it has scarred them. I would hate to have to put him through that. Sure there is a large chance that wont happen but at least now he knows no different.

I think in todays society it will be 50/50 as to whether boys are circumcised or not. The OB we went to was booked out for weeks and was doing them every 15 minutes. The waiting room was completely full and there were other OBs we had referals too from our GP also.

Its just a personal decision and i dont think any boy, done or not, will be treated any less differently at school. DH told me there were friends of him at school who werent (DH is) and they had better things to talk about than what their willy looked like. And i dont think anyone should be descriminated against for choosing to or not to have their son done.. its the parent's decision, no one elses.
