Has anyone regretted their decision to circ their son?
Is there anyone out there that wanted their son circ'd but changed their mind once they saw it performed on another lil baby?

I know hundreds of people, some personally, some on other sites, that hate the fact that they chose to circumcise their son, and would never do it again. Many of them circed their first but not their second.

Also, many men dislike the fact that their parents chose it for them and have restored their foreskins.

I regret not being able to have my first son done. For medical reasons we were advised not to, so didnt...

Not personally, but my aunty regretted having her first son done. So much so that she didn't get her next 2 boys done.

My brother was also born around the time that it started being advised that it wasn't necessay, so they sent mum to stand outside the door of the room where a newborn was being circ'd. That promptly made up her mind - she said that she couldn't bring herself to put him through it. The sound the baby made stayed in her head for ages.

Yeah, my fathers wife is a nurse and she said the same- the newborns scream and scream in pain when they have it done

I have deleted a few off topic posts. The OP has clarified her request to hear from ppl who have changed their mind from being pro-RIC to anti-RIC (either before or after having their DS circed).

Please feel free to open a thread to discuss other topic or hear a different POV.

Cheers
