Q: Are You Going to Bank Your Baby's Cord Blood?

Hi mothers-to-be! I notice more and more articles coming out about the advancement of stem cells. I firmly believe that cord blood banking is the miracle cure for terminally ill patients. Are the mothers-to-be going to bank their baby's cord blood? Are their mothers who have before? What bank did you use?

I really want to but i'm not sure if, along with the baby expenses, I can afford it...I've dropped the hint to the grandma to be that I was extreemely interested in it....

Hopefully...I'll be able to invest in it and be able to save her cord blood for her future..You can never be too careful!!

I learned about it from a friend who had a baby shower and asked for money to save up for the cost. Pretty cool idea!

That's a really good idea (the saving up bit)... Then you can use the money on something really important. Cord blood can be really useful it's well worth it if you can afford it (i think).
