Congratulations on
Your Pregnancy!
Every month, thousands of parents are choosing to give a powerful gift to their newborns: Cord Blood Banking. You can help protect your baby's future health by banking their cord blood stem cells.
The blood that remains in your baby's umbilical cord after it has been cut is called cord blood, which is rich in stem cells. These valuable cells, which are genetically unique to your baby and family, can only be collected in the minutes after your baby's birth.
Cord blood stem cells are the body's "master cells" and can regenerate into the cells that form all other tissues, organs, and systems in the body. They are showing promise in the treatment of brain injury and juvenile diabetes and have already been used to treat nearly 80 serious diseases, saving many lives.
In many ways, cord blood is an ideal source for stem cells. Unlike embryonic stem cells derived from fetal tissue, there are no moral questions or controversies regarding cord blood stem cells. In fact, many researchers are turning to cord blood stem cells to avoid the moral conflicts of embryonic cells.
You only have one chance to save your baby's cord blood, and with Cord Blood Registry® you can feel secure knowing you've chosen the world's largest, most experienced cord blood bank and the #1 choice of Ob/Gyns and expectant families.
