Hi ladies,
DH and I still pondering over whether this is something we will or won't do which is a decision we will make ourselves. I am delivering at American Hospital and just wanted to find out if anyone had any experience of having their DS circumcised there recently...and what the procedure is? Do you let them know you want to do it when you come in to deliver or earlier? Do they do it after birth or a few days later? Any recommended surgeons? Do they use the plastibell?
Any info would be much appreciated and again - not looking to start up any debates!!
thanks!

yeah we were also thinking of doing that, and building up a relationship with a good paed. Can I ask where you had your boys done? Was it done using the plastibell?

Our boys were only snipped at one year old each. I was scared of being a new mom and didnt want to deal with extra stuff. Maybe go into that option if your unsure?

thanks Appletiser, will chat to doc tomorrow. She's not an AH doc though as she delivers at several hospitals hence just wanted to see if anyone had any recent direct experience :)

Ask your obgyn that will be delivering. They would know as you need to sign extra paperwork.

why don't you just phone then and ask them directly? I'm sure they'd be happy to answer all your questions.
