cord blood storage

[suzieqpt]

My husband is a C5-6 quad, I am currently pregnant with twins. We know that we can save the cord blood from the babies when they are born, but does anyone know if there's anything that we could save that would be of benefit, like the amniotic fluid?
Thanks

Suzieqpt,

One company is collecting placenta. Several companies are collecting the umbilical cord itself. I am not sure that there are any companies that are collecting the amniotic fluid.

The company that is collecting placenta is Cellgene. I am not sure that they are doing it outside of New Jersey or whether they are collecting for private use.

Wise.
