Cord blood?

Newmommy17

I have heard it is expensive, but MIL offered to pay storing it. I figured if she was willing it wouldnt hurt, but someone just told me that it is a waste of money. Is anyone familar with this or done any research in it?

I wish I could waist of money?? Hmmm we'll they r still doing research on the many ways it can be used... Iknow that they r even testing on people with head trauma and brain damage... I don't know better safe than sorry I think... we can't afford it if not donate it at least it could help someone in need

Its a waste if you never need it but if you do its invaluable.

That was my thoughts exacty, if she was willing to do it then why not. Im just hoping that it isnt just another way to make money. I know my Dr charges $300 if i decide to bank the cord blood, having nothing to do with the costs of banking it. Does anyone know any true stories about cord blood being used?
