Home birth circumcision: Care for families who deliver outside hospitals
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 home birth 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 circumcision can be safely performed, how to find a provider experienced with infant circumcision outside the hospital, and 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. We understand the unique needs of families seeking home birth circumcision options.
