Cord Blood Stem Cells Information

Donate Cord Blood deal?

Has anyone ever donated this? Are there any bad effects I like to know information of someone who has done this! blood remaining in the umbilical cord and placenta is rich with blood-forming cells. These healthy blood-forming cells can be collected and stored so they can be used by a patient who needs a transplant!!

1. Some doctors think it is a bad idea. They believe that a baby should be rested on the mother's stomach until all the cord blood goes into the infants body before cutting it. They believe that this is important for fighting off infections right after birth.
