Cord Blood Banking is PRICELESS

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

Cord blood Banking is one of the most exciting innovations in the medical community in recent years. This is the ability to cryogenically preserve an amount of your child’s stem cell producing umbilical cord blood. The Cord Blood of your baby can be used for transplant in case of an emergency one day. Hence, cord blood banking is simply PRICELESS as it help you save the life of your baby.
Cord blood stem cells help to replace bone marrow in many instances and are often preferable due to the fact that it precludes having to locate a donor – many times not an easy task. The decision of cord blood banking is one of the decisions that should be taken by the parents before the birth of the child. This vital decision must be considered carefully. The decision whether to save the cord stem cells of your baby should be taken by educating yourself as to what the procedure entails as well as the pros and cons.
Save Cord Blood, Save your Child
Cord Blood Banking means saving your child from any accidents in future. The reason why cord blood banking is priceless is that the available research shows this blood has the power to heal injuries and ailments. For example, diseases like leukemia, lymphomas, brain damages, brain tumors and other cancers have been successfully treated by cord stem cells. But these are only few among the various diseases that can be cured by stem cell and the list keeps on getting longer.
To get the cord blood, your doctor will draw blood from the umbilical cord at the time of delivery. Then, this blood is dispatched to the company whose service you want to use. These companies remove stem cells from the blood and store particularly for the later use of your family.

Pregnancy Stages

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Once the euphoria of learning that you’re pregnant passes you might like to know what to expect at each stage. Some women maintain, what is called, a ‘pregnancy journal’. The first stage of pregnancy is marked by nausea, dizzy spells and frequent scuttles to the washroom. You will also crave certain types of food while shunning others. An ultra sound will reveal a flicker- your precious little one’s heartbeat! You will also be able to detect tiny limbs flailing about.

By the second month your baby starts developing its vital organs and also begins to acquire a face. Maintain a healthy diet plan and take regular exercise – on your doctor’s advice, of course. All this is important so that your baby comes out healthy.

By the time you reach the second trimester you would have passed five months in your pregnancy stage. By this time all the annoying symptoms like fatigue and nausea would have practically vanished. But you will start getting back pain and stretch marks on your stomach, breasts and thighs.

Don’t be surprised if you feel ‘butterflies in the stomach’ at this stage. What you are actually experiencing is the movement moving about. An ultra sound will reveal a hand moving or your baby’s mouth opening. How exciting!

The third trimester marks the final stretch. You will find yourself going out of breath while trips to the washroom increase. You will also experience heartburns and your fingers, hands and feet are likely to swell up. Your belly button is likely to stand out at this stage. Sleep might become difficult because the life you are carrying is now as big as a football. When your doctor tells you that your cervix has thinned you know that your due date is near. The excitement’s just beginning!

Nutrition during Pregnancy

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Pregnancy is a time to celebrate. But not a time for bingeing on junk food, beware. Eating the wrong kinds of food being harmful to fetal development you need to be mindful of nutrition during pregnancy.

As an expectant you would require more energy, energy for two to be precise. Carbohydrates being a great source of energy you would be well advised to include various breads, pastas, and some fruits in your diet.

While stocking up on carbohydrates don’t neglect your calcium intake. Dairy products like milk, cheese and yoghurt are highly recommended as nutrition during pregnancy. A steady calcium intake will not only ensure the healthy development of your baby’s teeth and bones but also act as an insurance against the wear and tear of your own bones, teeth, and nails.

Protein is another great energy resource. Protein which may be sourced via lean meats, fish, eggs, and nuts aids the cell integrity of your unborn child.

Eggs and dairy products are not simply funded with calcium and protein but are also endowed with Vitamin B. This substance is important for the development of your baby’s nervous system, heart and muscles. Do include in your diet cereals, grains, and green vegetables.

Also, don’t forget to include Vitamin E in your diet as this aids the formation of red blood and red blood cells in the placenta region, to begin with. The placenta is rich with stem cells which, in turn leads to the production of red blood cells, white blood cells (important for combating infection) and platelets for helping with clotting. Storing the stem cells in a bank is insuring the health of your child or even a sibling. The blood present in the stem cells can be used to treat deadly diseases should the need arise.

Do bank your kid’s umbilical cord for your peace of mind and your child’s health.
