Cord blood banking

Hello,

I am expecting my second child and even though I dont know if she will carry the gene. I would like to store her cord blood in the event that my son, who is young with the gene (asymptomatic) needs it in the future.

Do you have thoughts on companies? Do you think it makes sense?

Thank you

I don't know of any companies to recommend, but your physician should be able to provide you with information. It's always a good idea to bank your cord blood even if you don't end up using it, it could save someone else's life.

Not what you're looking for?
