Agree! And am so Glad to see cord blood being used on a deadly disease a few days ago in Straits Times! Our babies' natural cells and strength really is infinite!!

Yup the extraction of dental pulp. Very limited stem cells from there... so no point. Richest source of stem cells still come from our babies' cord blood and the most pure cos it's from Day 0.

Hmmm from my limited knowledge, transplants don't have the luxury of using half dosage... Doctors don't dare to take the risk too. If yes then the world donation banks would all store in multiple bags to avail more people to seek help from, then they can probably earn more from each sale of each...

Kudos to you all! Me had to stop by 6months due to work travels... Couldn't continue... but glad I did it for 6 months... Now that I'm with my second one... Not sure if I can bf for at least a year...

Haha, I did placenta pills for my first child. About $400... I thought I would overcome my fear and eat it but it was left in my fridge for over a year....... I wouldn't do it again for my second child haha...

Cordlife definitely. Experienced, professional. Healthcare stuffs I will always go for the best.

It's payable by CDA and upfront plus annual fees only $300+, cheaper than insurance I must say. For something of this technology and the potential, totally worthwhile. Furthermore, recently there were some news on babies using their siblings cord blood for deadly illnesses. If financials allow...

I see Dr Kenneth Chua from Thomson Pediatric in Waterway Point (Punggol)... He is pretty good with kids I must say. Good mannerisms and clear explanations. Can try.

I banked my first child's cord blood too! And will be doing so for my second child. Perhaps heading to Babyland fair for the signup with Cordlife. They are very knowledgeable, ethical and professional and doesnt hard sell or have funny sales pitches. Furthermore they are so heavy on quality and...

So sorry for late reply! I delivered in April 2015 at glen hospital... I asked for Mount A previously but he doesn't do it there... Guess he is more comfortable with Glen?

Try talking to Cordlife, they really are more professional in the way they conduct their sales... Unlike another company i spoke to, so pushy and used rolex vs swatch to compare the companies, i'm like Har?? Medical healthcare companies should have certain standards la......

Yup, i did some research on this too... If the child has a genetic condition, usually the doctor won't wanna risk. But i see alot of environmentally triggered diseases nowadays too, and that it's more of a peace of mind that i do it... When i did it for my first child, i feel obliged to do for...

I think you can try to speak to their consultants and understand more? Me and my friends chose Cordlife, we all had good experiences with them as they were not pushy and have alot of experience and a great reputation. I would want to choose some place that is more stable la...

Yup, agree with you.... For all my friends who have stored cord blood, including myself for my first child, we have not had any contamination cases though. Anyway i rather the company be truthful to me than to bluff me that it is suitable and continue storing and continue charging me... Imagine...

I think if i don't remember wrongly, it's about 7k. 4k cash...

I think generally if it is vaginal delivery and no forceps were used, the wound is quite ok. Mine was ok and i remembered me telling him to sew nicely immediately after my delivery, haha. The wound is not very painful as there will be some painkillers. The painkillers are also for managing the...

I delivered my first child by him. He is gentle yet firm in his advice. Had a great experience because i specifically told him that i am afraid of pain and he planned out everything for me. I had vaginal delivery with epidural and the total fees were about 7k for 1-bedder. Can't remember...

Had this question in mind when i banked my first child's blood too. Asked the donation bank and they have a high minimum to fulfill, same as blood donation where certain criteria has to be fulfilled... However, family banks do have to inform if the cells aren't sufficient. After all, there are...

On the other hand, i had quite a good experience on cord blood banking, except that the nurses did not managed to draw enough of my blood and poked me twice... By the way, i don't think the banks charge anymore admin fee now. Am enquiring for my second child now.

Can try Dr John Yam too! In Jurong, but most of the time in Gleneagles. He's patient and professional!
