Sounds like op has already made up her mind and is looking for a forum to advance her opinion rather than actually being curious about what others think.
That said, I was on the fence for the longest time-- DH and I talked about it and researched it for months and still hadn't decided when my waters broke. Well J arrived and we said "sure, let's have it done, we've never met anyone who regretted being circ, but had met plenty who wish they were". Usually they do it right after the birth in our hosp-- I had to tell them to back off because they were trying to take him to have it done before his first bf. I made them wait until he'd had a few meals and I'd showered, as I wanted to be there for it, paranoid mom I am. We got there in time to "watch" them do another baby (it's just behind a curtain in the nursery) and it didn't seem like the painless procedure that had been described; I actually think something went wrong with that specific one, as a bunch of nurses started rushing around after and apparently there was some excessive bleeding. DH and I looked at each other and wheeled his bassinet back out of the room and withdrew permission to have it done. So if not for that one baby screaming bloody murder, our son would be circ, haha! The LC came to see us a couple days later and expressed how glad she was we didn't-- highly unprofessional behavior, but according to her, babies have a harder time bf and we were having enough problems already. So we had a surprise intact baby! He might hate us for it later, but he'll have plenty of things to resent us for by then anyway.
You a Penn Stater?
As is DH, but we grew up nearby, in Clearfield, so we are true Happy Valleyians LOL.
