Hi there,

I've just been doing a bit or research into storing cord blood. Initially I had hoped to donate ours, but just found out that you can't donate when in a private hospital... Private storage is very pricey, but then I kind of think it is such a precious thing, that it is worth preserving.

I also wonder if I could live with myself if we decided not to store it and our child did develop some awful disease that the stems cells could have helped cure... Has anyone else gone down the storage route? How did you decide whether or not to do it and which company to go with?
