- Have you had the circumcision discussion?
- I left that decision up to him
because he is the one with a penis.
- Like me, I would cut.
You have to teach them how to clean that.
And I just don't wanna deal with that.
(waltz music)
- Hi.
- What's your name?
- My name is Carly.
- My name's Jonathan.
I'm here because my wife is pregnant.
- Wait, so how far along is she?
- We just hit 11 weeks.
- Today.
- Birth plan.
What is your birth plan?
- I'm not sure.
- Hoping to have the baby in a hospital.
I'm preregistered and everything.
- She has a lot of specifics
Like we can't wash the baby,
she's not gonna be laying down.
- I wanted to do like a home birth, like a water birth.
- Birth Plan.
- It's a hospital.
- Vaginal?
- Yep.
- Vaginal birth?
- Yeah.
- Either way, as long as the baby comes out healthy.
- Yeah, vaginal, yeah.
I mean, hopefully, yeah.
- I am using a midwife just
because I think I need more of the emotional support
than the physical.
- I'll be there.
Not gonna record it, that's messed up.
People always say how like the miracle of birth is,
you know beautiful. It honestly isn't.
- Apparently, a lot of women, vagina tears to their ass.
And I'm just like, don't really know
if I want to be there to see that.
But then Sid was like, you have to be there.
- I'd like his father to be there.
- Now that I think about it,
I'm like, yeah, I should definitely be there. (laughing)
- She wants me in the room, but she said she wants me
on the other side of the apron with her.
- I don't want him looking at me down there.
- What are your fears?
- How it just gets like enormous.
- I don't know if she'll say this
but she's afraid that it's gonna tear her,
which I'm okay with.
- Does she want drugs?
- Oh yeah.
- I want all the drugs.
- Do you wanna take drugs?
- Yes, definitely.
- She's planning on not.
- Part of me wants to just say I did it, I think.
- I am trying to go for a natural birth.
- Personally, I don't think she can handle the pain.
- Do you know the sex of your baby?
- It's a boy.
- Yes. It's a boy.
- Have you talked about circumcision?
- No, we have not actually.
- Oh.
- We have not.
- Your son's got a penis.
(clap)
- Right.
- Did you guys discuss circumcision?
- We did, yes.
- Yes, we're doing that.
- I think I do wanna circumcise him.
I just feel like it's kind of what everyone does.
- What have you guys discussed?
- He's getting circumcised.
- Are you you circumcised?
- Yeah. All I know about uncircumcised penises
you like accrue goo under the tip of the,
I don't know if this is like an old wives tale,
but if there's no goo forming by the tip of the penis
you know, the less goo the better, I guess.
- He's gonna have a circumcision,
but I'm not gonna be there.
- Why not?
You're just gonna leave your baby with strangers?
- No, I would like my husband to go.
- That's one thing that she said that I should be there.
- Have you had the circumcision discussion?
- I'm pretty sure we have had this discussion.
- I left that decision up to him
because he is the one with a penis.
I see benefits to both.
- If like me, I would cut.
You have to teach them how to clean that.
And, I just don't wanna deal with that.
- So, you're a firm yes?
- Yeah.
- I think it's a little bit easier to maintain.
- I think she also somewhat agrees with me.
- The further I get into my pregnancy, the more I'm unsure.
- Oh, 100%. He's getting circumcised, absolutely.
- How'd that discussion happen?
- I said, our baby's getting circumcised.
- I don't know.
I guess I also don't know anybody.
Society probably tells you things like as far
as cleanliness and that type of thing, but I don't know.
- I've been with men that weren't and I did not like it.
- So you'd think he would be less sexually appealing
if he wasn't.
- I don't know that it's less sexually appealing
but it comes with more, it comes with more care
and more cleaning and more stuff that is just like
you're getting lint stuck in it
and stuff that's just strange,
like you shouldn't have to deal with.
- Are you going to circumcise your child?
- Yes, we did talk about it.
My husband's not circumcised
and he thinks it'd be a lot easier
for him to grow up being circumcised.
- Yeah, we're gonna circumcise him.
- Because he wishes he was when he was born.
- Oh, that's interesting.
Do you have a hard time like keeping your penis clean?
- No, I actually clean it really well
- Yeah, but don't you think your son would clean it...
- But when I was a kid, I wasn't really good at it,
- (laughing)
- Unfortunately, but you know, that's where you learn.
- I think it may be it's just cause it's all I know.
- Uncircumcised penises are dirty?
- Well, not necessarily dirty, but like can be.
- (laughing)
- Well your dick can get dirty.
- Well, yeah.
Okay, that's fair.
- (laughing)
- Huh?
(dramatic orchestra music)
Actually, I don't know.
