• But cord blood banking ensures a closer match, as
  its taken from a family member. So, once you
  preserve a cord blood unit, it can offer you a
  lifetime of security.
• Dr. Tiffany Werbin-Silver, MD said, One of the
  things I bring up at the 20 Week mark is cord
  blood banking. Cord blood is the blood flowing
  through the placenta to the baby, and once
  delivery occurs, you capture it at that moment,
  and you have it for a potential lifetime, not
  only for the baby who is born, who serves as its
  own perfect match, but for family members.

Cord blood may have other uses you dont know

•  There are a number of researches going on
  involving cord blood stem cells and even doctors
  dont know about its full potential. A few years
  back, people did not know that stem cells had the
  ability to treat some of the symptoms of autism.
• Now several trails are under to find out
  effectiveness of stem cell therapy in such
  nervous system disorders.

• Dr. Preete Bhanot, MD said, Right now clinical
  trials are going on to use these cells for
  children with autism, with hearing loss. In five
  years, we may have so many more things that we
  can use these cells for. It is a great
  investment. You have to do it. I cant stress
  that enough.

  aware of the high potential of cord blood banking
  from the first day. They also should know about
