Umbilical Cord Blood Bank

Is cord blood banking a good investment?

I'm having a baby girl in October and was wondering if anyone has done cord blood banking. I been thinking about it and it seems like a good idea but I'm just curious if it would work the way they say it does. Has anyone had a situation they had to use it? I know people on tv talk about them using it but I just wanted to hear from real people.

1. I have not banked my babies blood yet because we have not had her but we are going too. I can tell you as a mother and a woman with Diabetes and Multiple sclerosis that to me it is worth banking the blood. Those are two things on the list that they are using cord blood for and there is a chance in the future that i could be free of both. also i can pass these on to my babies so i want the blood banked in case they end up with either or their kids do and so on. also if anything ever happened to my husband they may be able to match her blood up with him. Like i said I have not done it yet but coming from a woman with the diseases I have its so worth the money because I want to be around as long as i can for my kids and my husband and i want my children to have a fighting chance if i pass this to them. There is never a 100% guarantee with this stuff but I don't see why not take a chance. :) hope this helps some. I am sorry im not a someone who has used the system yet but i just wanted you to know why im doing it.
