Nothing wrong with a good debate as long as other peoples opinions are always respected.

Hi All,

Other forum is only 1 word and won't let you talk about cloth nappies. Only found it by searching as is an older topic...

My husbands foreskin wouldnt retract so he had to have circumcision at 3 years. So really just trying to be prepared. A bit hard as we aren't telling anyone that we are having a boy so can't really ask friends / family without giving it away!]]> Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:27:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=787100&title=circumcision#787100 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=785391&title=circumcision#785391 Author: X

Rorylex if I am having anotehr boy it would be really helpful to have the dr in Hillsborough's number so we can have him done. Do you mind PMing me with the number if it's not too much hassle? Or even just his name so I can look it up?

I'm assuming the other site might be one with 2 words ,prob the most popular site to buy things on.There was a very heated discussion on there over the weekend.
We got our son done last year,we are in Hamilton.The Dr used the plastibell method as mentioned above.It cost us $180 which we got back through Southern Cross.]]> Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:35:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=784934&title=circumcision#784934 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=784913&title=circumcision#784913 Author: Bobbie

Ha ha, I know the one you mean NikkiCham, as I am a regular on there, and yes, there are a few psychos over there aren't there?

With regards to the topic, I don't feel strongly either way but do wonder as to why people get it done? Ok, religious reasons fair enough, but other than that there is no real reason (apart from the odd medical ones I know, but most people aren't doing it because they have to but because they choose to)]]> Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:51:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=784883&title=circumcision#784883 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=783175&title=circumcision#783175 Author: NikkiCham

Hi OdetteNZ,

Just jumped over there and had a read. Must say people on this site are MUCH more restrained than another popular kiwi based one... Searched other site and was a LOT surprised by the posts.

Thanks so much for the advice!!]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2009 20:13:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=783175&title=circumcision#783175 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=783090&title=circumcision#783090 Author: X

Very loaded topic! There is a circumcision thread under "1st baby, 2nd or more?".

We had DS done in Auckland. I was against it but his Dad really wanted it done. We argued over it for ages till I finally gave in. We used a surgeon in Remuera who has since retired. He used the plastibell method which involves administering local anaesthetic, pulling the foreskin over a plastic ring which cuts off it's blood supply & then over the next week or so it just falls off. No cutting involved & less risk of infection or complications. Although I was very anti the whole thing, DS really didn't suffer at all through the process & he has had no ill after-effects. We did it when he was about 5 weeks old. I think it cost about $165 or something like that & took only a few minutes. As I said the guy who did it has retired.

I think there is a doctor in Blockhouse Bay who uses the plastibell method. Other than that, some jewish friends of ours had their son done by an asian surgeon in the city but that was the cutting method.

Have you asked your midwife for some numbers of people who do it? Or otherwise just try searching the net maybe?

I know it's a bit of a heated topic, & don't let other people make you feel bad about your decision. I think we are all just doing the best we can & sometimes we make choices that maybe are not the norm but that doesn't make us bad parents.

Good luck.]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:22:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=783090&title=circumcision#783090 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=783085&title=circumcision#783085 Author: NikkiCham

Hi All,

While I realise that this is a loaded topic we may have to do this due for family medical histories.


Has anyone out there had it done? In Auckland? Experiences?

thanks heaps!!]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:13:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28907&PID=783085&title=circumcision#783085
