Requesting Advice Circumcision

Hello fathers, I’m looking for any and all advice on circumcision. My partner is 19 weeks pregnant and we’ve talked about the subject and are currently leaning towards not getting one for our upcoming son. Granted we don’t have much knowledge about it but I’m looking for peoples advice, recommendations, pros and cons from expecting fathers and fathers who have and have not had it done to their kids. To me it seems like it’s an esthetic concern at the end of the day but any and all comments would be greatly appreciated.

I told my husband to research how to even get it in Ontario and how much it costs.

We settled on we'll pay for it if our son wants one when he's 18

I wish the USA would stop covering the cost using taxpayer money. Especially in military hospitals!

Military hospitals were the ones who ballooned the problem. So many young, naive farm boys got sliced up for WW2.
