We did. I was undecided except my bro had to have it done at 3 and we both remember how traumatizing it was later on which swayed me more towards doing it early on. DH is and felt very, very strongly about doing it. I still don't have a strong opinion on it, and can see both sides.

This is mainly my only reason for wanting it done. My nephew had to have it done when he was five. It was heartbreaking seeing him in so much pain (before and after).

We did. I'm a rule follower and it is recommended by the aap in that the benefits outweigh the risks. And H wanted him circumsized.
that's why we decided to do it. recommended by AAP and DH wanted it.

When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.
We will have it done if we have a boy. DH feels strongly about it and I researched it and was really indifferent. But then one of my 6 yr old students had to have it done b/c he kept getting infections (properly cared for etc). He was in SO much pain, and of course will remember that pain. So now I'm camp circumcise.
