re miscelaneous soon to have baby questions in article c inz world std com rmccown world std com bob mccown writes we re about to have our first baby and have a few questions that we dont seem to be able to get answered to our satisfaction reguarding having a baby boy circumsized what are the medical pros and cons all we ve heard is its up to the parents unfortonately that truly is about the best summation of the research that there is advantages stated of circumcison included probably prevention of penile cancer which interestingly occurs mostly in men whose personal hygiene is exceptionally poor simplicity of personal hygiene prevention of urinary tract infections and prevention of a unretractible foreskin disadvantages include infection from the procedure pain etc i apologize i am trying to pull this off the top of my head i will post what i discovered in research i did a paper on the topic in my research class in nursing school it really is a decision that is up to the parents some parents use the reasoning that they will look like daddy and like their friends as justification there is nothing wrong with this just be sure it is what you want to do since it is rather difficult to uncircumcise a male although a major surgical procedure exists how about the pregnant woman sitting in a tub of water we ve heard stories of infection etc how about after the water has broken as long as your membranes have not broken and you have not had any problems with your pregnancy it should be ok to sit in a tub of water however i would recommend using your own bathtub in your own home it is nearly impossible to guarantee the cleanliness and safety of public hot tubs a nice warm bath can be very relaxing especially if your back is killing you and it would possibly be advisable to avoid bubble bath soap esp if you are prone to yeast infection hope these tips help you some elisa picl fsphy physics fsu edu
