What is Cord Blood?

 

 

 

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.
