Pregnant Woman and Partner's, You Need To Know About Cord Blood!

What should a Pregnant Woman know about Cord Blood?

If your Pregnant and know little or nothing about .. 'Cord Blood' .. 'Stem Cell Research' and how your family may soon one day benefit from storing the Umbilical Cord Blood, please read on.

You don't want to find this information out after the birth of your child. It will be too late.

The birth is a "Once in a life-time" chance to save your umbilical cord blood that may one day soon provide a pathway to a cure for several conditions. Let's keep hoping anyway.

Two of my three children have blood disorders needing blood transfusions every 4 weeks. You can read about them in this web log. Now Anthony (my partner/husband) and l never knew anything of this disorder until the first was 3 years old. When planning a family, you hope for a healthy bouncing Baby with good health .. 10 fingers and toes and so on ... but there are no guarantees of course ..... and needless to say as a Parent you'll love them to bits either way.
Fact is even after the birth, even with 10 fingers and toes, problems can and do happen.

But the closest thing to a guarantee may be keeping your 'Cord Blood' in storage. This in case your children or a family member develop a serious medical problem that may one day be assisted by 'Cord Blood' Stem Cell Treatment.

There's real hope in the short term for favorable options But Only If You Store Your Cord Blood. Keep posted to this blog as l add more information for you soon.
