How can you give lifetime of health protection to your upcoming little one?
You have probably done a lot of research on what you should expect from your first contractions to the moment when you hold your baby in your arms.

After nine long months, we know that you are excited to have your baby but feeling a bit tired of being pregnant at the same time. Do not feel bad about it because in the last trimester, particularly the 8th and 9th month, most expectant mothers feel this way.

Giving birth and coming home with your little one are precious moments but what is more rewarding is being able to equip him/her with lifetime of health protection by storing his/her cord blood stem cells.

What does an umbilical cord contain?
The umbilical cord is the first and most important organ to the mother and the fetus. It is a rope-like cord structure made up of two arteries and a vein covered by a thin tissue that connects the mother to the fetus. There are three parts of the umbilical cord – the vein, the two arteries, and the excess cord blood in the placenta. The vein transports oxygen from the red blood cells in the mother’s body to the placenta, while the arteries carry blood, carbon dioxide, and waste material from baby to mother.

The cord blood has stem cells that are responsible to replenish blood and regenerate the immune system and that can treat blood disorders such as leukemia, thalassemia, and fanconi anemia and developmental disorders such as autism.

Why cord blood stem cells must be stored?

• Collection is safe, quick, and painless
Cord blood collection at the point of your baby’s delivery is a simple process that poses no risk to either the mother or the baby. The cord blood collected will be stored in a closed system blood bag and will be sent to the cryopreservation facility you registered with. The cord blood stem cells are isolated and harvested, after which they are stored at low temperature or also called as cryopreservation.

• Cord blood stem cells are younger and more tolerant to mismatches
Cord blood stem cells are younger and are more tolerant to tissue mismatches compared with bone marrow stem cells.

• Biological family members can have access to stem cell treatment
By storing your baby’s cord blood stem cells, your biological family members including grandparents can potentially be given stem cell treatment to 80+ critical illnesses.

• Storing cord blood stem cells has money-saving benefits
Aside from the life-saving benefits of storing your baby’s umbilical cord blood stem cells, an early medical preparedness can help you manage your future medical finances.
