My husband wants our child to have a circumcision

A listener got in touch - 'Ciara – wonder could you advise me on something. Just found out I’m pregnant, first pregnancy and very early days so haven’t told anyone but we’re delighted! Don’t know the sex yet, but was really surprised when my husband says if it’s a boy he wants him circumcised. My husband is Americam, he’s circumcised, he’s not religious and I’m really surprised he even suggested it to be honest. What do you think? It’s not that common in Ireland is it? I’m not really sure why it’s necessary. Was reading up online and can’t figure out it it’s a good or bad thing. What do you think?' Ciara hears form listeners
