I want to do it as well, but too expensive. I'm going to donate it though. That way even if I cannot store it because of costs, it will be available to the public. Hopefully others will choose to do this as well.
It is very expensive if you already know your child would be at high risk for a life treatening disease then i would consider it otherwise i don't think you'll need it
I was gonna do it but it costs 2000 up front plus a fee yearly for them to hold it.
I really want to do it but its unfortunately too expensive. Where i live they wantva deposit of 3,000$ and every year after that they want 750$ just to keep it for the next year. If i was made out of gold i would! But im not and.....i mean they never did it before and they really cant tell me 100% that my child will be cured n saved if they make a cure with his blood cells. So because of how expensive it is im taking a chance and praying really hard that nothing bad will ever happen and putting faith in the drs to help my child if something does ever happen.
Idk? Either way I couldn't afford it
I think you have an option to place it in private or a public bank. But yeah heard its its expensive.
They save your baby blood cells from the umbilical cord and in the future they have health issues like leukemia they use that for a cure. But it's not just leukemia there's more diseases
I believe it is where you save the blood from the ambilical cord for the future if your child needs blood for any reason they have it... but I'm not 100% sure on that.
It's expensive and from what I learned from my appointment with a representative at the hospital last year they can't guarantee it'll be there if you need is say another family has a baby with leukemia and they need cord blood they can use yours
