The doctor came in the room and said “do you want your son circumcised?” I asked “What’s that??”

Hello Beautiful new mom or mom to be,

First of all congratulations on you soon or new bundle of Joy!

When I had my first child, I was 19 years old with no clue as to what to expect.  I was 6 months pregnant still trying to squeeze in my cute non-maternity clothes lol!  My father in-law saw me and told my sister-in law to “take this money and go buy her some maternity clothes.”  When she took me to buy maternity clothes, I was not happy to see what they had to offer for a pregnant woman to wear as this was in 1982.   So, I had a brilliant idea and that was to purchase a size large which worked for a couple of months.  My eighth month I really needed some stretch around my stomach, so I had to give into the maternity pants lol!

I actually went into labor on my due date which I heard didn’t happen very often.  Once I arrived at the hospital is when I realized I am scared to death to give birth.  Saint Mary’s Hospital in Long Beach was the best!  The nurse held my had talk to me and calmed me down.  I just listen to everything they told me, and all went well, my son was born!

The day after my son was born the doctor came in the room and said “do you want your son circumcised?” I asked “What’s that??” When they told me I said, “No way you’re doing that to my baby!”  Of course, I was young and didn’t have a clue lol!  But, soon found out that this is a normal thing that boys go through, so I had to take him back 6 weeks later to be circumcised.  I still regret I said no but all is good😊
