Momlogic is a popular online resource that offers parenting tips, health resources, news and perspectives for moms “who want to know a little bit about a lot of things, but have very little time.”  It’s where we discovered a blog post from a first-time mom named Jenny about her decision to bank her baby’s cord blood with Cord Blood Registry.

In her post, Jenny provides an overview of the medical value of cord blood stem cells, the related costs for family banking and the reasons she made the decision to preserve her child’s cord blood stem cells.  As Jenny writes, “Knowing that these cells are available and could save my child's life was all the evidence I needed. And for me, you can't put a price tag on that peace of mind.”

We believe all expectant parents should be educated about the value of cord blood stem cells so they can make an informed decision about the one-time opportunity to preserve them.  We thought Jenny’s concise, thoughtful perspective  and “mom logic” was important to pass along.  You can read her complete post here.
