Circumcision

I don't have a boy. Yet. I might, someday, God willing... Just wanted to have a post on circumcision as I've had this chat with a few mother friends who have thought of it when they were pregnant with boys. None of them went ahead with circumcision, but the thought did cross their minds.

It did cross mine too. I had wondered if I had a boy, would I put him through the process of circumcision?

Did have a chat with my husband about this before I was pregnant with my first child and we decided against it. We talk about these things, which I think is important, so that both of us are on common grounds if anyone asks why.

Why not then? Because, Biblically, it isn't a must. Health wise, it isn't a definite either.

Furthermore, the procedure for circumcision can result in infection and bleeding. For a 6 month old baby who had to go through an anaesthetic just to remove the foreskin on his penis can be quite a traumatic and painful experience. However, if, for some reason, my boy decides to do it in the future when he's a grown man, I don't think I will stop him.

Have you ever thought of circumcision for your boy? Did your boy go through the procedure? Sphere: Related Content
