Cord Blood ? w/ Poll

I feel like I have done some research but like everything else it seems so overwhelming. Which cord blood company did you choose and why? If you decided to not do it why?

TIA

we're not banking. we're going to wait until the cord stops pulsating before it's cut.

We are on the fence about it (though I have to decide NOW - I am due in 3 weeksChat Icon )

My Dr. won't recommend a specific one just says to go with a company that you think won't go out of business if you do it.

Lately I have been thinking of just donating it though. It's so hard Chat Icon

If it makes you feel any better, we decided to bank 2 days before my scheduled c-section Chat Icon They overnighted us the kit and everything worked out great!

Yeah I am surprised at that too. I am just worred that if I don't do it and it would have helped will I be kicking myself later. I hate these kinds of decisions.

Ok I feel like a complete idiot but can someone please explain what you're all talking about. I haven't heard of this (but I haven't seen my OB yet either).

TIA
