while we are on this topic, did anyone get the circumcision done right after birth at the hospitals in the USA?

I have heard that sometimes the docs don even offer local anaesthesia (which I find hard to believe) unless and until you request one for your child.. is that true?

how did the process go?

Sorry, don’t know how it is in the US, but I can tell you about Canada! (Just move up here Gia, it’ll be so much easier :p)

I got my little guy’s circumcision done the day after he was born, while we were still in the hospital. They do give a local anesthetic, usually placed a little lower than the belly button, so that it helps numb the area. Always make sure that you know the process of how they are going to do it. Don’t assume that they’ll numb the area, or if they’ll use a ring or not. They also give the baby a little sugar water for him to suck on so take his mind off the pain.

And I would suggest that at least one of the parents go in while they’re doing the surgery. The doctors might recommend you not going because you don’t want to see your child hurting, but for me it was a peace of mind knowing that the one of us is there to make sure everything goes okay. Just tell them that you would like to be there. Shouldn’t be a problem, I don’t think.
