What is cord blood, and why is it important?

Cord blood is the blood that remains in the placenta and umbilical cord after your baby is born and is usually discarded as medical waste.

What is the right time during pregnancy to register for Cord Blood Banking?

While your pregnancy is progressing and you are due in a few months or weeks, cord blood banking is an important decision that you and your family needs to take. In pregnancy, you have three options:

1. Have your baby's cord blood collected stored with a family cord blood bank
2. Donate your baby’s cord blood to a public cord blood bank
3. Decide not to bank and your baby’s cord blood will be discarded

If you want to save the cord blood, you must arrange for it ahead of time. It is not a decision you can make at the last minute. Please note collecting the cord blood does not cause pain. It is a noble and simple procedure that safeguards your child’s future.
