The National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers has posted a very informative video on their website (www.nocirc.org). I highly recommend watching it if you are wanting more information about circumcision of boys. They state the following on their site:
What you need to know…
No national or international medical association recommends routine circumcision.
Only the USA circumcises the majority of newborn boys without medical or religious reason.
Medicalized circumcision began during the 1800s to prevent masturbation, which was believed to cause disease.
Today’s parents are learning that the foreskin is a normal, protective, functioning organ.
Today’s parents realize circumcision harms and has unnecessary risks.
Circumcision denies a male’s right to genital integrity and choice for his own body.
Watch how a baby is born by cesarean section and see the dramatic difference of what both the mother and baby experience in a home water birth after cesarean.

Meet the Doulas Night
Come get to know our practice and our doulas the last Saturday of each month at 7:00pm at our office, 1825 E 38 1/2 St. Each month we have a guest speaker do a short presentation, along with a past client sharing their birth story. Stick around for our famous doula "speed dating". Or join us the second Tuesday of each month at 7pm for a Meet the Doulas Tea - a low key version of our regular MTDN, but no speaker or birth stories, just casual tea and chat with the doulas. Do both if you can!
Need a little more time with us before making a decision? Come meet us during our office hours for a private appointment to get all of your questions answered.
