The Benefits of Cord Blood Banking: Deciding if it is Right For You

There are so many decisions to make as an expectant parent - some easier than others. One decision my husband and I spent the most time on, when expecting our first baby, was cord blood banking. We researched and talked to doctors to help us arrive at our final decision. One of the most important questions we asked ourselves was what the benefit could be to our family.

How Can Cord Blood Help Your Family Tomorrow?

What is Cord Blood? 

Cord blood is a rich source of viable stem cells that have been used for potential improvements in over 75 conditions all around the world.  To date there have been over 21,000 cord blood transplants using samples from cord blood storage programs. Cord blood stem cells have been used to test potential new treatments for conditions such as Type 1 Diabetes, cerebral palsy, autism, spinal cord injuries – along with dozens of others. Medical experts are hopeful that more work in this area can help more families.  

For storage and development to be successful and effective, the cord blood stem cells must be banked using a cord blood program like Insception Lifebank.  The process to collect cord blood is painless and does not pose a risk to the baby or the mother's health. It also does not interfere in any way with the birth of the baby.
