“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the Cord Blood Registry. I received promotional item to thank me for my participation. http://www.momcentralconsulting.com
I was very excited when I was invited to breakfast at the Russian Tea Room with Mom Central to learn more about Cord Blood Banking.
As a mom of 4 I was not aware of Cord Blood till I probably was on my last baby. I might have seen a commercial or read a pamphlet but I didn’t understand nor did my doctor ever discuss this with me. You’d be surprise how many parents know little or nothing about this and doctors. My third son had jaundice, and his bilirubin was high and needed a transfusion. He was born three weeks early and had to stay in ICU until he was better. I refused someone else’s blood and we went with a bloodless transfusion and everything turned out fine. If I had this option of banking his cord blood I would have used it. My daughter the last of my children born also came into the world three weeks early and had a heart murmur and had to stay in ICU until she was better. However, she did not need surgery but lots of blood work, EKG’s, and doctor visits. Her heart murmur disappeared and she was all better. Some parents and kids aren’t lucky and trust me I stayed in the hospital everyday with them till I made sure everything was better. I wanted my kids to know I was there for them.
You never know when something major is going to come into play and you might not have time to get what you need. There are people in hospitals on waiting lists for a match from donors for all types of organs.

Every parent should do their research and don’t wait until it’s too late. Ask your OB/GYN about it and if he/she doesn’t know make it their business to learn.
