I received compensation for this post, all opinions are my own.
There are many, many decisions that you make when you are expecting a baby. Things you expect, things you don't. One of the decisions that I was not anticipating, was whether to pursue cord blood banking. It's scary as a mother-to-be to contemplate the great unknown. What will happen to my child? Will he get sick? Have health issues? Is there anything I can do to help? Cord blood banking is one option for some added peace of mind.
Through cord blood banking, you can collect and preserve potentially lifesaving stem cells, and doing so could one day save the life of your child or a blood relative. You can bank even more stem cells by collecting them from 2 usable sources of stem cell-rich blood: the umbilical cord and the placenta. This service is called Placental and Cord Blood Banking, and it's available only from LifebankUSA. It is the only company that offers cord blood, placenta blood and tissue banking. Owned by the Celgene Corporation, a world-class biopharmaceutical company, LifebankUSA also operates a robust donation program.
There’s only one opportunity to save your baby’s stem cells for the future...
The ability of stem cells to save lives via cord blood banking has proven successful for replacing abnormal or diseased cells, and treating life-threatening blood disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. In fact, since 1988 stem cell transplants have been used to treat some 80 diseases.
When you bank with LifebankUSA, they include tissue banking (tissue from the placenta) for free (storage fees apply after the first year). Placental tissue contains mesenchymal cells (MSCs) and MSC-like cells. While stem cells found in cord blood and placenta blood have been used to successfully treat patients, there are currently no approved uses for stem cells derived from the umbilical cord or placenta tissue. Possible therapeutic applications are in early research stages and LifebankUSA's parent company is actively involved in their development. Tissue banking is just one more layer of protection and peace of mind offered by LifebankUSA.
Along with peace of mind, LifebankUSA wants to give parents the chance to win one of the hottest baby items, the 4Moms mamaRoo!
