Cord blood banking

I am giving birth in Vancouver, Canada and I want to have my baby's cord blood banked. After some research, I went with Healthcord Cryogenics, which has a lot of information on their website for parents(www.healthcord.com). However, I don't know how accessible my cord blood will be once I return to Britain if my child ever needs it in a rush. I am told that it will not be a problem. Has anyone had this done in Britain or Europe for private banking? I hear the authorities don't permit it any longer for no particular reason. Though Canada is nice and my sister and her husband have been very hospitable, I won't be imposing upon them a second time! Virginia

Cord blood

Hi, I am planning to have my baby's cord blood banked as well, but it seems not that common in Britain because it is quite expensive. You can check the website: www.futurehealth.co.uk if it is not too late for you.

Cord blood

In Spain, you can't have your baby's card banked if you give birth in a state hospital; iin these places it is only allowed to donate it. However, if you choose to give birth in a private hospital you can have it banked and the price is reasonable, about 1600. How much is it in the UK?
