To me cord blood banking is the most important decision you will make before your baby is born. The more information you know about your health history, ethnicity, and the diseases cord blood stem cells treat, the easier the decision will be. I recommend the following sites to learn about stem cells in umbilical cord blood and cord blood banking.
1.www.parentsguidecordblood.org- non proprietary website .
2. stemcells.nih.gov - The National Institute of Health sponsors this website. It is the textbook of stem cell education. With this site you can also look up any disease and see what research is being conducted using stem cells.
3. Visit http://www.lifelinecryogenics.com/ .
My blog is to provide education to the public on cord blood stem cells and the options expectant parents have for banking their baby's cord blood. As medical coordinator for LifeLine Cryogenics Cord Blood Bank, I have assisted thousands of parents in understanding how important cord blood stem cells are to the future of medicine and the future of their baby's health.

The Importance of Saving Cord Tissue
ReplyDeleteYou only have one opportunity to save your baby’s cord tissue, and that is at the time of his or her birth. Although it may be difficult to make a decision on cord blood and cord tissue storage, it is recommended that you choose your cord blood bank as soon as possible, even as early as your first trimester. The reason for this is that around half of all babies are born before their due date. Choosing your cord blood bank early allows you to time complete the rest of the preparations that are necessary before your baby arrives. You can enjoy all of the exciting events that pregnancy brings. At Americord, we offer various options that you can choose from to ensure that as many umbilical cord stem cells as possible are saved when your child is born.
