I was watchin dr oz and I heard that most people don’t know that if they can’t afford to store their cord blood that it can be donated for free. How true is this and how would one go about it? How much access do I really have to it being that its open to the [...]
Since I have gotten pregnant, I have seen ads and ads for cord blood banking. Of course, like many starting families, my husband and I just don’t have the money to bank it ourselves.

I have heard mixed opinions about this, and I don’t know if we are going to keep ours or donate it so that later in life we can receive cord blood if need be. What’s your take on this issue?
I’m wondering if the routine changes when cutting the cord. We want to donate the cord blood, but my husband would like to cut the cord when the baby’s born. Will he still be able to do that or will the doctor have to do it for donation purposes? In response to Vegan-We’re actually donating to a [...]
I’ve been receiving the information about “cord blood bank” and such. I also heard you can donate the cord blood as well. I am curious if I can earn some money by donating this cord blood.
