Now the in-thing is to keep the cord blood for emergency. My sister keep one for her daughter...not cheap also....... Anyway next time, my turn will have to keep one for use.

icebaby0 SG

no..didn't even keep for my two kids.

Though cord life is trying to "advertise" to ask pple to keep their children's umbilical cord, but then it's really expensive leh.

sbst275 SG

But it can save their life in future

CryoLind SG

actually cord blood when needed can be from anybody, not really must be your own...

now there is a new public cord blood center liao, besides the 2 private cord blood banks. It is public so can be reached out to the main public. the cord blood stored there will be donated free by mothers. However, they will not have any say towards these blood.

Veri ex for the cost, besides 1 time payment, there is also the monthly(or was it yearly??) maintenance cost.

kops21 SG

i was told, the chances of finding a match in siblings cord blood is very high. A small amount if you look at the potential it has.

It is something like insurance. U pay $$ every month. if nothing happens how? those years of payment goes down the drains. Sad
