• My in laws were right in the room when there son was circumcised. They said he cried for about 10 seconds, and all was fine. If this one is a boy we're going to have him circ'd. I'll want to be in the room as well.

   Kairi is 3!

• I did a lot of research when I found out I was having a boy, and in the end we chose to leave him intact.

• I was in the room when they circ'd my son.  They didn't "strap him down" they just had a nurse keeping him occupied so he didn't move.  He didn't cry at all because he had the numbing cream and the nurse gave him stuff to eat.  He didn't cry afterwards either.  It only took a couple minutes and the doctors talked me through everything they were doing.

• I heard they sometimes can't use the emla cream because it damages the foreskin that is donated for skin graphs.

• i just had my son two weeks ago on october 22nd... my df went with our son to get circ'ed and he said they gave him a shot in his area to numb him and they gave him something sweet to suck on.. and that the machine did the work for the doc... he said our son cried for the shot to numb him but he didnt cry at all when he actually was being circ'ed... good luck with everything when you find out...

  Hmm...maybe so, id be one pissed off mama if it wasnt my choice to donate anything from my son.  And its a very small piece of skin, I didnt know they did that.  Seems like you should have to sign a consent form.
