Public Cord Blood Donation

Donating umbilical cord blood is helpful to medicine, because it contains some very healthy natural fluids that helped your baby to grow into a newborn. It is a miracle that we often take for granted.

The people who are donating umbilical cord blood can help save lives, much like when you donate blood to a blood bank and help save someone’s life.

Up until a few years ago, the no one was donating umbilical cord blood -- it was simply disposed of. Now medical science has realized what a waste that was, so now more people are participating in public cord blood donation.

Cord blood research has found uses for the super healthy substances found in the umbilical cord. Your simple act of public cord blood donation could save a life. You not only bring a beautiful new life into the world when your baby is born, but your baby’s umbilical cord blood might also save the life of another mother’s child. Wouldn't that be a wonderful legacy for you and your child, to save another child's life?

If you are planning a pregnancy, are already expecting a baby, or are beginning to experience early signs of pregnancy, it is a good time to start thinking about the value of the umbilical cord that will be the mother-child bond between you and your beautiful little baby.

It costs nothing to help with a public cord blood donation in your area. All you do is make your wishes about donating cord blood known BEFORE birth, so the nurses who collect the public cord blood donation know what to do. They will make sure your donation goes to this worthy cause.

If everyone participated in public cord blood donation, instead of just having it disposed of, doctors could help many more people.

Your public cord blood donation is for a worthy cause. See the top of this page for more ideas about websites to contact about donating umbilical cord blood.
