What are you doing with your cord blood?

Ha ha ha!  Thanks for the not "just you wait".  

I completely see why it doesn't make sense to you, but it still does to me. I don't want to have a list of me-specific things to worry about.  I want them to do what they know.  Like I said, I did research and it is not a big enough issue for me to push.  I will push if I come across issues that I think are big enough deals for me to.  

Fair enough! As long as you've done the research then I won't say anything more! I'm glad you did and that you've made an educated choice. That's all I can hope for

We're delaying cord clamping, as we did with DS1.  This article from the Wall Street journal was an eye opener for me - https://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303887804579501500366071342 .  For the amount of money they charge, I don't feel there is enough accountability for private cord banks. 

I would rather DS2 get the cord blood immediately, after birth, when I'm sure it will benefit him, than bank it (privately or publicly) for some remote possibility he may be able to use it in the future.

I know it's a typo and you're probably mobile Bumping but - Lovetits! *teehee*

Planning on doing the delayed clamping here.  My birthing class made it sound like both banking and delayed clamping aren't an option.  I don't think we were going to bank anyway though.

Good discussion!

Nope not a typo!
