Hi Dane, sorry to barge in or not (considering I am a female) but just wanted to let you know that if you want to snip, its your decision and nobody else's opinion should matter. We decided to get DS done (and any subsequent boys of course) because of one thing mainly, my DH is done. We got LOTS of opinons on the matter, mainly about the "different in changeroom" stuff, and from my DH's opinion, he said that as a boy, he never saw anyone else's penis in a changeroom, but he did see his dads. He said that our child would be more concerned about looking the same as Dad, and wonder why he didn't look the same as daddy, than why he didn't look the same as other kids in the changeroom, which he may or may not ever see!!!! So thats my DH's opinion for you, relayed through me. Whatever decision you make, its YOURS alone. Its a tiny bit traumatic for you to see your newborn go through the pain etc, but it heals in no time, and once the ring thing is off (no cutting involved if you get the ring thing) then it looks great!! Good luck :-)
