How much does it cost to save chord blood?
I am thinking about trying to get pregnant soon, and I would like to bank the chord blood of my child. Has anyone had this done? Does anyone know how much it costs? I know it’s around $2000 for the first year, but how much does it cost after that time period?
Thanks for all answers.
What I’ve been told is that its free if you donate it BUT you have to pay for it obviously if you save it for personal use. However all of my doctors have said that if the baby ever needs the blood for bone marrow etc that it would not be able to use its own because it would just do the same things that the blood he has now is doing. That the baby would end up having to use someone else’s blood either way. But you or your family could possibly use it. So overall I would say its not really worth holding on to, I would donate it for the people who need it right now so that if your baby ever needs it in return that someone else would have made the same decision.
