With my last baby I used Cryosite for the cord blood storage. I gave birth in a public hospital too. The company will actually assign you a person who will come out and do what needs doing. Obviously you need to tell them when you go into labour and then have a guesstimate of how long it will be. Midwives can usually tell My guy had to come from Sydney so he needed the extra time to get up to Newcastle. We didn't do delayed clamping as we needed a lot of blood but he got heaps - thank goodness. Cryosite were great to work with. We paid the initial fee and then when bubs was born we paid another $1000 and then got to pay it off over a few months. Hope this is the type of information you needed.
