How many know someone who has actually used cord blood that they banked. What was the reason and the outcome? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

My understanding is that unless you have a family history of certain diseases (leukemia, etc.) it's really not necessary. [ Reply | More ]

I don't know anyone. But I do know someone who couldn't find a marrow match for their child, and somehow I twisted this into needing to bank the cord blood for #1 (which I don't think works in cases like that anyway). Then I felt guilty not banking cord blood for #2 (how could I do one and tell the other one we didn't want to spend the money?). Obviously, I shouldn't be trusted to make decisions while all hopped up on hormones when pregnant. [ Reply | More ]

ditto - we did it too; i'm adopted so no idea of family history and got really paranoid when pregnant...and then of course did it for dc #2 also. [ Reply | More ]

I get why you might be anxious about medical stuff, I had no such excuse. [ Reply | More ]

I don't know anyone who used cord blood. DH and I chose to bank our son's blood on the one-in-a-gazillion chance it could help him or a sibling someday. [ Reply | More ]
