My Promise: After Twins' Circumcision Complications, Mom Shares Truth

August 06, 2020/ Your Whole Baby Team

I’ll never know exactly what happened in the nursery that day. I thought that my little boys were sleeping when they came back. Now I know that they were in shock from the horrible pain I put them through. The nurse came in to show me what to look for in circumcision aftercare. The gauze was stuck to one of the boys’ bloodied penises. She pulled it off, hard, and my son started screaming. Over his cries, she shouted the aftercare instructions.

'He Slept Right Through It.' They Lied to Me.

When they handed him to me after circumcision, my heart dropped. He didn't have the same sweet expression on his face anymore. No, now he was red, he looked exhausted and sad. What did I do to him? I tried to nurse him, but he couldn't. He had fought too hard. So I went to change his tiny newborn diaper for the very first time and nothing could have ever prepared me for what followed.
