For a lot of first time parents, it can be a daunting task to complete all the To-Dos before your baby arrives. One of the items on your To-Do list should be banking your baby’s newborn stem cells. Unfortunately for many first time parents, awareness of cord blood banking occurs late in the third trimester.
In addition, many parents have shelled out a lot of cash for a nursery and all the required baby accessories. Perhaps even a Babymoon, Gender Reveal party, or Baby shower has also dipped into your funds. The most common answer we hear on why parents don’t sign up is because they just can’t afford it.
