They will wait if it's not right for the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-circumcise-your-son-if-he-was-born-early#post-422655 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:07:32 +0000 ChelseaRose 422655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I would unless there was a medical reason not to do it. 37 weeks is full term. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-circumcise-your-son-if-he-was-born-early#post-422585 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 16:50:55 +0000 Honeybee 422585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I would still circumcise, even if the baby was early.</p> <p>Also, I hope you have your baby soon! I was 3 cms with DS for about 3 weeks, and it was killer. I couldn't wait to get that kid out of me, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-circumcise-your-son-if-he-was-born-early#post-422434 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 16:16:28 +0000 banana 422434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was 36 weeks and we circ'd. So I voted yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-circumcise-your-son-if-he-was-born-early#post-422427 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 16:15:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 422427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't understand why not? Couldn't you just go back in a few weeks? I have done literally NO research on this, so it's not a snarky question, I just don't know what the extra risks or concerns are. It seems like a lifelong decision to make based on a week of gestation.</p> <p>My nephew went back to the ped and was circumsized a week or so after he was born, so maybe you mean right away in the hospital? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-circumcise-your-son-if-he-was-born-early#post-422352 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 16:03:56 +0000 ladyfingers 422352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, if he was full-term. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-circumcise-your-son-if-he-was-born-early#post-422303 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:52:18 +0000 KT326 422303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since 37 weeks is considered full term I would. But if he was born before that? Probably not. DS was born at 38 weeks and we had him circumcised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-circumcise-your-son-if-he-was-born-early#post-422265 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:45:30 +0000 chopsuey 422265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Say.. at 37 weeks?</p> <p>DH wants to circumcise, but I'm at 3cm and 75% already (36 weeks 4 days today). Don't feel comfortable circumcising such a young babe! </p>
