I decided to donate my baby's cord blood. It will be easy and will cause either one of us any pain. I had a hard time at first trying to find out information about donating then I found this site. http://www.cryo-intl.com/enroll_donate.html You have to fill out some paperwork and get it signed by your doctor but I think it will be great to know I can save a life by doing this. Cryobanks International accepts donations from anywhere in the Continental United States. To Donate you must be:
Between your 28th and 35th week of pregnancy
In good health
HIV and Hepatitis negative
I'm 33 weeks now and wont see the doctor until next week. Which means I will be 34 weeks. I know too close but I hope it gets there in enough time. I really want to do this. Has anyone else donated their cord blood? I've seen it on tv where the mother banks it so I'm guessing it is done the sameway.

good for you. I'm glad you did that, so many people think it's unnatural or something, but I think it's just selfish, why wouldn't you donate blood when you know what good it can do.

Thanks for the information. I've been trying to find some info but haven't found any.
