Have you
decided to save your baby's blood cord? Do you know how it is going to be done?
Most of the expecting parents have some queries when they are deciding for cord
blood banking. So let’s have a look at the points below:
Cord blood is
the blood that is derived from the umbilical cord to which the baby is attached
at the time of birth. This blood is a rich source of stem cells that help to
create more cells, tissues and organs and are capable of adjusting in the human
body and create new cells.
How is the collection of cord blood done?
The people
from the bank you have contacted can collect the cord blood after the baby is
delivered and the umbilical cord is cut. Then the upper part of the umbilical
cord is cleaned and a vein is punctured. Then the blood is collected in a
special bag that keeps it away from getting contaminated. This is how they
collect the cord blood for the safety of your child in the future.
