Hi ladies, been so tired today didn't check the forum till now. Last night dreamt i had contractions, check in hospital and gave birth to a huge huge fish. Argh..what kind of dream is that? Woke up fm shock!! =p
Hippo: for me i decide to donate cos i think the since most likely bb sick also cannot use back her own cord bld cos already got defect, then if next time got #2 and touch wood need to use #1 cord bld, also only 25-30% chance match, so decided not to spend $ on banking private. Besides they say SCBB will still release ur cord bld if u request for it (provided it is still available). So might as well donate and help others rather than throw away.
Piggy: yes i agree, for pte banking they collect $$ irregardless if the bld is suitable for transplant or not. Say if one day suay suay need to use the bld then realise pay $ le but the quality cannot be used for transplant, double tragedy manz..
Regarding placenta: the though of eating it just turns me off.. even make into capsule i also think not safe, who knows if the capsules u get back is really ur own placenta? Yucks!!!
