Hi All,
we are thinking about doing private cord blood banking for our 2nd child due in about 6 weeks. For our first, 4 years ago, this was unavailable. During this 4 years a lot has changed and is now available almost anywhere.
Wanted to find out any experiences you may have had with private collection. We live in Melbourne and I am giving birth in a public hospital. (this is relevant since there is a fee for collection in a public hospital).
There are 3 companies that I found (Cellcare, Cryosite and Stemlife) and they all offer the same service for a similar fee. ($2995 - $3270 with all fees in a lump sum payment). I have an opinion on all three companies and wanted to know if any of you went with any of them and what were your experiences.
Thanks very much!
