Gift to share ~ Baby's cord blood
To learn the virtue of sharing.
More about cord blood donating
If you decided to donate your cord blood, call up SCBB, they will do some simple screening and meet up with you again when you are in your 32 weeks.
Once you have sign the consent form and pass through all the screening test, then your cord blood will be taken for donation.
If you have not sign anything or go through any screening test by the SCBB, your cord blood will be throw away, NOT donated.
A lot of people have this misconception that it will be automatically be donated.
Unfortunately NO. Because they need to go through your family history, take your blood to make sure you are free of transmitted disease etc. If you haven't done any of this test by SCBB, they will not take any of the cord blood.
Another misconception, do not think that cord blood act wonders. If *touch wood* one of the child have blood disorder, you can't use the same cord blood, because chances of the cord blood will or might have the same blood disorder. Unless if its genetic or neuro issues yap u can use the same cord blood. So please don't argue with the medical staff why you can't have priority or why can't use. Its really based on medical conditions. So for blood disorder they will instead match you with another best matched cord blood.
For more information, Please call SCBB or go to their website :)
Free gift from SCBB, although nothing much but is cute and useful :)
