Cord Blood is the blood that
remains in the umbilical cord immediately after the birth of a baby.
Many families today decide to bank their baby's cord blood. Cord
blood is collected once the baby has been safely delivered, from what
would otherwise be discarded in the remaining umbilical cord.
The collection of cord blood is quick, painless and has no side effects
on the mother or the baby. Cord blood is special because it is
a rich source of stem cells. |
