Can anyone explain Cord blood storage? Pros/ cons? Worth it or not? Average costs? I did my pre registration paperwork at the hospital today and the nurse asked if I had planned to participate. I have only seen a few ads on Facebook for it- and since I haven’t heard anyone else ever even mention it, I didn’t really even take it into consideration. She said it’s becoming very popular and is valuable, but I would have to do my own research to decide if it’s right for me.

We did it and paid a hefty fee...to be told by the company a year later they had lost our sample. Was irritating for sure.

I would be livid! What’s the point?! Were you able to be reimbursed?

I asked my midwife about donating chord blood but apparently I’d have to pay thousands to donate it to someone. She said when they store it it’s only to use for future siblings if they need the stem cells and seeing how expensive it was and that I’m not having anymore kids I didn’t think it was worth it

That's so weird that she told you that. We donated my son's cord blood through Be The Match, it was free to donate and used to help patients with all kinds of blood diseases (leukemia, lymphoma, etc.). It doesn't need to be a sibling, just someone who is a match.
