Sometime in 2006 (I was still single) in Singapore I had the opportunity to visit Stemcord and met the General Manager, Valerie Wong. I was with a Chinese couple/business partner who had their baby's cord blood stored with them years ago. The reason why we visited Stemcord was for them to check their baby's record. I was lucky enough to see their facilities, etc and the process was thoroughly discussed to me. Valerie gave me a business card which I kept all these years. I promised myself when my turn comes, I will definitely consider cord blood banking / Stemcord.
Years passed and I had friends who conceived. I never got tired of mentioning cord blood banking to them so they can consider. Maybe due to lack of knowledge, exposure and information from the companies, nobody (as far as I know) considered it. Well, it's a personal decision anyway.
Even before I got pregnant, I've been asking Dr. A. about Stemcord and I was glad to know that he is very much knowledgeable about it not only in theory but he does the collection of the blood of his patients and babies. According to Cordlife (competitor of Stemcord), Dr. A. is an expert already. I'm proud to be one of his patients, really! Worry-free pregnancy.
