I have two boys - one is circumcised, the other isn't. When I was pregnant, we discussed long and hard about whether we would choose to do it and after weighing up the relevant factors for our life at the time we chose to have our baby circumcised. There were a number of reasons, but the biggest one for us was that we lived in hot, humid and dusty place, and we personally knew of a number of boys who had to be done because of infections when they were older (5-15) and each of them then had issues with pain and scarring. Our second son isn't circumcised, because the doctor I had when he was born refused to perform the procedure despite our requests.
