Antenatal Check Up - Week 25

Weight: 803 gram (heavier than average by 143 gram)
Foetus Length: 45mm (longer than average by 10mm)

Dr Wong advise that BB is healthy and normal. The full test result is normal, I manage to see the blue prints of Sheldon's 23 pairs of chromosomes. A little regrets that I didnt ask for a copy, anyway I will ask Dr Wong to give me a copy of the blueprints on my next visit.

Dr Wong has been very assuring on Sheldon's problem, he told me not to worry too much as its 100% correctable.

HB wants to circumcise Sheldon, I read from the net that it can be done at birth. During the check up I also check with Dr Wong, he advise us to do it at the hospital. He will check with PD about the details and get back to us on our next visit.

Before I left the room, he told me to enjoy my pregnancy as much as possible. I really tks God that I make the right choice with Dr Wong. All the specialists he recommended to me are really professional, passionate and encouraging.

Some of you might have know what had happen to Sheldon, but those for dont, Im still organizing all the information I received from different specialist before I make a proper announcement.

Just read your post and wanted to say that if you are looking into it, I would recommend circumcising, it is cleaner and healthier.
I know if boys aren't done at birth its pretty common for them to need to be circumcised later in life. My brother needed to be circumcised later in life and I don't want to risk putting my son through that. Plus, I have yet to meet a single man that wasn't happy to be circumcised, but a lot of uncircumcised guys seem to wish they had been snipped.
I have done a lot of research on circumcision and thought you might find these links helpful:
