I didnt want to add to other thread cause
ppl had butchered it but wanted to let you
know I just had my son done and it wasnt
what I thought. I was expecting it to be
so much worse than what it actually was,
cameron barely cried and he hasnt been
screaming and I havent even needed to give
him tylenol (dr will say if they are
cranky to give abit of tylenol etc.) it
has been 3 days now its swollen but
nothing I cant do you just have to make
sure u keep the area clean but its not bad
at all.
Hope this helps!
Jess

We have just found out my four year old
needs to have one because his foreskin is
way to tight, I am really worried about it
and believe me if I had known I would have
done it when he was alot younger!
How long does it take to properly heal?

They told me it would take a week to two
weeks before healing jolie but besides
that just buy tylenol in case he become
sore but they said the pain would never be
excruciating he said its like when we go
through childbirth and tear the same type
of feeling!!

Thanks diamondz! You had to go buy your
own tylenol? Didnt u say u were a
military wife? If so thats a point for my
facility cuz when ever tylenol is their
cure ( which is pretty much for everthing,
if somethings wrong give her tylenol lol)
ne ways they always give us an economy
size bottle we ahve so much baby tylenol!
Lo right now im more worried about getting
this kid out they think he already weighs
7 lbs! And hes not due for 3 weeks 6 days
and im not dialated at all! ::sigh::
theres no way im pushing out a 10 lb baby

thanks! What is tylenol? Is it like
paracetamol? (calpol)
he's on the waiting list to have it done
and I got a letter the other day to say it
should be in about 6 mths so there is
quite await.
I feel so sorry for him! Hopefully though
I am going to be able to be with him, do
they use local or general anesthetic for
it? Haven't been told much so far, all I
know is he will be allowed out of hospital
after about 3hrs all being well.

They say when they are over 4 months of
age here they put them to sleep I believe
paracetamol is the samething as
tylenol(acetametaphin) or something to
that liking!!
>>macysmama
in canada our health care is covered so I
have to pay for prescriptions etc but we
get a plan through military covering
prescriptions up to 90% but tylenol is not
considered prescription. Hubby works at
military hospital here and unfortunatly
you have to be a member to go there if ur
civilian you go to a normal hospital
because ohip(our health plan covers it)
the only benefit we get is discounted
military housing and a few perks like
resource center etc!!
Jolie good luck to your son!!
Take care yall!
