My DH thought something was wrong with DS's circ soon after we took him home, I told him to stop being silly, an adult penis can't be compared to an infant one. Turns out he was right - OB did a bad job, ped noticed it at our 1-month checkup and DS had to be re-circed at 1 year old. [ Reply | More

Next to nothing was taken off the underside, so DS kept getting adhesions no matter how often we pulled it back. We tried to wait as long as possible, hoping it would get better. But DS started pulling at it himself, I think because it bothered him. He didn't complain at all after the re-circ (I was afraid it would be traumatic for him). [ Reply | More

I felt the exact same way as you at 18 weeks with 2nd db. Now at 23 weeks and db is kicking SO much. It changed dramatically around 20 weeks. Certainly call OB if it will comfort you, but I think the not feeling movement is very typical at this stage. The fetus is still very small! [ Reply | More
