I wanted to do everything I could to set us up for a positive experience this time.īut I already knew what I needed to do anyway by the time he was born. Julie: Well, first of all, when I looked at my second newborn lying beside me and he’s perfect and intact, I didn’t want to inflict that wound on him and maybe set us back with breastfeeding. I certainly don’t think (the circumcision) was the whole reason for my postpartum depression, but I think it contributed to the breastfeeding part. I’m this new mom with raging hormones, he wants to eat all the time, he’s crying, and I don’t know what to do about it because I’m a new mom. And our inability to breastfeed really sent me into a spiral of postpartum depression. I don’t know if it was the entire issue, but I certainly feel that contributed to it.

So I feel as though that could have impacted our breastfeeding saga. I can only think that it must have been excruciating for him because I’m holding him tight to me, putting pressure right where this wound is. Afterward, I had major breastfeeding problems…looking back now on our struggles to breastfeed and how that piece of it didn’t go well, all I can think is, you’re belly to belly, and here’s my son who has a big open wound on his penis, and I’m holding him super tight to my body trying to do this breastfeeding thing. Julie: Well, the doctor just took him and I didn’t think much about it, and I don’t think I knew what was really going on. I just did what my culture and society did according to my knowledge base and what everyone in my family had done.ĬW: What do you remember about the time before and after the procedure? I do remember the doctor coming in and saying “It’s not a necessary procedure, are you sure you want to do it?” and I just said, “Yeah, we’ll do it.” I figured it’s just what you do and followed the trend. Julie: To me it was kind of like, maybe cultures farther away don’t do it, but here in America we do it. She agreed to talk with me about her experience and how she and her husband made both decisions.ĬW: Tell me about how you made the decision to have your first son circumcised. Her older son was circumcised, and her younger son was not. Julie (name changed for privacy) is a 40-year-old mother of two boys, ages 11 and 7. The first explores circumcision in general and tells the story of my first experience with it as a nursing student, and how I counsel expectant parents now as a midwife.
