Before your delivery, you might want to consider the option of preserving stem cells, taken from the placenta and umbilical cord, for the future of your child.
Since the 1970s, researchers have been exploring the uses of stem cells taken from the umbilical cord of newborn babies to treat serious diseases such as leukemia and thalassemia, and so far the results have been encouraging. Stem cells are very special cells that are considered the foundation cell for every organ, tissue and cell in the body. They are cells that have not yet been assigned a function, and under the right conditions can be encouraged to develop into specialized tissues or organs. Through a painless procedure at birth these cells can be collected and stored in case your child or a relative needs them one day. All it takes is one phone call prior to the delivery to arrange to have the cells collected at the birth. It is best to make the decision as early in the pregnancy as possible in order to have the collection kit ready in case you have an early delivery.
