What If My Baby Was Born at Home or in a Birth Center?

Opting for a home birth or birth center allows families to welcome their baby in a setting that emphasizes calmness, intentionality, and personalized care. Many families who choose this path also want to continue that approach when it comes to newborn care — including circumcision. However, for families who deliver outside the hospital, options for infant circumcision can be limited. Circumcision is typically offered shortly after birth in hospital settings, but for out-of-hospital births, families often find fewer opportunities to have the procedure done in a timely and baby-friendly way.


Circumcision Services for Families Choosing Birth Outside the Hospital

While midwives and pediatricians provide excellent care, circumcision services in these settings may not always be available immediately after birth. This can leave families wondering:

  • When and where can circumcision be safely performed?

  • How to find a provider experienced with infant circumcision outside the hospital?

  • What to expect if the procedure is done later than the newborn period?

SafeCirc is proud to be a resource for families navigating these questions, offering safe, gentle, outpatient circumcision for newborns and infants — specifically within the first 28 days of life.
