A quick google search found several practitioners in the UK. Once again, I think this thread is a fake.

op, you will have a girl baby

OP, if you are in the UK, they have a sizable Muslim community, either in your town, or a train ride away. Why not look up these sources and ask for a referral? All Muslim newborns in the UK have to get circumcised somehow, so I imagine there is a wide choice of providers. Ask a Muslim ob if you want, too.

Why stop the circumcision train if the baby is a girl? I mean...there are some people who absolutely rave about removing the labia or the clitoris. Why should your baby miss out just because she is female?

Hey...you can tell her that you didn't want her to feel out of place in the family, because after all, her brothers went through it.

Riiiiiight?

I wish these ignorant, uneducated and hateful posters would stay the fuck off this forum. The op asked a question about logistics, not your opinions on circumcision. Get off your damn high horses, already.

OP does not have a baby yet and does not know the gender

Your son will not grow up thinking he must have a similar penis to his father or brother - in fact, it won't be very long before he (like most of us) is thoroughly repulsed by the idea of his fathers penis. I wonder how often your husband contemplates his parents and siblings genitals and just basks in the glory that they are so alike.

And, you are seriously going to drag a newborn around the world just to have him cut? Get a grip. Why not ask the pediatrician in the country you are living how they feel about your plans? No matter what, your son can get circed at any age should he need or want it -- and frankly, going under general when he is over a year is the more humane way to do it despite the slightly increased risk from the anesthesia.

I had a boyfriend who had a circ at 3. He was very traumatized by it many, many years later. It's better to have it done when you can't remember. Besides, you don't go under anesthesia. It's local anesthesia.

You forgot to mention that it was an UNNECESSARY circumcision. Doctors in this country are woefully uninformed about the normal foreskin. They give bad advice, manipulate it which causes more problems, and then tell you it needs to be cut off. Shame on them for not educating themselves and the families that choose to leave their sons intact.

Wow, I just can't believe that someone would be willing to take so many risks to remove a healthy, functional, normal body part from their baby. The foreskin is there for a reason. It seems like a lot of you need to do more research. Americans should be ashamed of our "tradition" of genital cutting, not encouraging it.

What is it about this website that makes people think they can be so snarky and rude? I am incredibly offended just reading this. How about giving the original poster a little common-sense advice and letting her make up her own mind instead of brow-beating?

Wow, some of these PPs are amazingly rude.

OP, I agree that you should be able to find someone there who can do this for you. Especially if you're willing to pay out of pocket. Find reputable doc and ask around.

Amazingly "rude" is strapping down your newborn son and shredding his foreskin from his penis and slicing it off. Seriously, that's the fucking rude thing here.

Actually, I didn't mention that because he had his foreskin, he was getting infections so they decided to do it then. However, I am sure you will find a reason for that to be the wrong reason to do it as well. All I was saying is that he was traumatized by it being done when he was older.

You know how stupid you think circumcision is? Multiply that by a thousand and that's how I feel about people claiming equivalency between female and male circumcision. Sterile conditions, local anesthesia, before full awareness, for health reasons, does not foster infections - some studies repo reduces them!, does not prevent orgasm, does not cause undue pain vs. dirty implements, no anesthesia, done at sexual maturity to functionally punish one gender, done for misogynistic and "aesthetic" reasons, creates lifelong difficulty with with elimination and birth, ends orgasms. You're against circumcision, we get it, but stop it with equating the two.

I'm not this PP, but my dad, who is not circumcised, strongly recommended circumcising my DS. He has had many issues, and I also have some cousins who needed to be circ'd later on in life. The consensus in my mostly uncut family was that it's better to go ahead and circ while the kid is an infant.

Most if not all of the issues that intact boys/men have in the U.S. is the result of improper care instructions and/or doctors not being educated on the normal anatomy and development of the intact penis. A 3 year old does not get infections unless he has been forcibly retracted. It just does not happen. Men in other countries rarely ever need to be circumcised later in life because they treat it like the normal healthy body part that it is. Boys deserve the right to have a healthy, normal, functional body.
