DH & I had the same argument 13 years ago... he is snipped & wanted his son to be as well. I didn't.
At the time I didn't have a lot of research or reason not to, just that I felt it wasn't necessary. In the end I told him it would be up to him to talk to the doctors, find out all about it, make the appt & hold our son while it was done.
He didn't. And these days he speaks up (albeit gently) against circumcision.
A big part of it for him was holding his baby son... it put a whole different spin on it for him IYKWIM.
I think MissE's approach is a great idea, and I would also suggest if you can both tread gently, agree to disagree just for a bit.... until bub actually arrives... that *might* make the difference as it did for us.
I had the same POV.
