Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Just wondering if anyone is doing Cord Blood collection (such as Viacord) and what your thoughts are on it? It's quite expensive, but then if it could save the life of your child its totally worth it, of course. My OB/GYN is recommending it b/c I am caucasian and hubby is vietnamese. She said it'd be a difficult match should we ever need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Because of the mixed race situation, it might be a good idea. I do not know much about the whole cord blood collection thing though. I have seen news stories where people of different backgrounds do have a more difficult time finding suitable donors in various situations. Hispanics, mixed race children included. Some groups of people are less likely to donate blood, organs, etc. Herlean --- wrote: > > > Just wondering if anyone is doing Cord Blood > collection (such as > Viacord) and what your thoughts are on it?
