Confused

[Widget]

So I know the foreskin can be a major benefit to burns victims... Seeing what my cousin went through for his entire life I always swore any son of mine would be done to help someone else not go through what my cousin did (30 years ago they didn't know this about the foreskin). I also don't know any males that aren't done, so don't really know any different...

That being said though... I commented to FH who is adamant B is getting done for FHs own reasons about how I've been feeling since we booked it in for the 20th... You know, don't know if it's hormones or what but I've been second guessing it since we booked it, and isn't he perfect now? - and I'm the one who told him to hurry up and book it...

Well... He CANCELLED B's appointment for Friday!! I'm even more confused now! We have both always said our son/s would be circumcised and been very adamant about it.

He said he doesn't want me resenting him and thinking he butchered our son... What if it is just hormones and I regret opening my mouth when they settle down??

Then I think we didn't pierce the girls ears or do anything to their bodies (except DD1s spinal surgery)... I also wouldn't dream of doing that now they're older either...

Why does my head have to be so jumbled and emotional???

Is it normal to feel like this?

Hugs ! I have no wise words or anything but Both my boy have been done and I wasn't sure at the time but I'm happy with my choice now and haven't ever regretted it.

So, wondering if you really should or not is normal?

I would be absolutely sure before acting on a decision that can't be undone.

[krystallxx]

Yep it is .
I guess with lots of issues you wonder whether or not you have made the right decision and the what ifs etc but at the end of the day if you have it done properly there shouldn't be any complications so I guess there isn't really any what ifs.

I just don't feel I can say right now - book again. He has to be done by the 28th for any Dr around here to do it...

Such a heavy decision on already emotionally wound mums!

Yep it is a big choice and one you can't change which I guess makes it more daunting. Take your time, do you research, talk it over with people, more so people who are on the fence or for circ. I found people who are against it aren't easy to talk to in regards to tossing up pros and cons etc.

If pain bothers you, my boys both cried for 5seconds if that and panadol was sufficient for pain relief.

If in doubt dont do it. There is lots of time, he could even decide for himself later if he wants to be done?
It's a permanent procedure, best to have regrets about NOT doing it that in reverse if that makes sense.

Oh I know... I just moreso want to know from other circers if they felt the same at all, to ascertain if it is just my hormones or if maybe subconsciously I really don't want it done - which would be a complete flip on what I've always said/wanted...

Mum was no help as it was still routine when my older bro was done and my little bro (11) wasn't done because it was too much hassle and they had to wait til he was 6 months...

I don't even know if friends with boys circ as it's not a general topic...

I was on the fence but we decided not to. As previous posters have said it isn't a procedure that can be reversed. There is time in the future if we choose to circ.

I think it is normal to question whether or not to get it done. My son is circ. We have no regrets & my son doesn't have any issues with it. Be comfortable with your decision whatever that decision may be.

I was also on the fence and DH was all for it. We had him booked in but then DH and I decided to look into it more because I felt so uncomfortable about it.

We ended up not having it done because we decided we didnt want tp put our baby through that pain for something that is uneccesary. It can be done later if need be.

I know now that i have made the right decision and i have no regrets

[hopefulandwaiting]

Both my boys are done and although they cried I would do it again..

My friends son is 7 and he now has to have it done!!

Big decision but go with your heart
