Over 90% of my clients have baby boys, so this conversation is a frequent one. Here's how I handle it.
Building a birth plan, this is what I say:
"Are you circumcising?"
Client: "Yes"
"Would you like information about after care?"
And on the flip side:
Client: "No, we're not."
"Would you like information on how to clean an uncircumcised boy?"
And again:
Client: "We're actually not sure yet."
"That's okay. Would you like some information to help you make your decision?"
The only other question I ask if they plan to circumcise, is if they are planning to give vitamin K, because many hospitals do have a policy that to do a circumcision you must have vitamin K on board.
It's really not that hard! Support your client, if they have questions, answer them. If this is a bias for you, acknowledge it, and get your clients some unbiased information.
