Hi, we just used Smartcells, a UK company. They were excellent. It was all arranged two days before delivery! I think we paid $8000 up front and will pay $20,000 once the blood etc has arrived in the UK and tested as being in good condition for storage. They store for 21 years or thereabouts.

We had our baby at the Matilda and everything went very smoothly. They were clearly very used to performing the procedure.

Do many hospitals collect stem cells on delivery, we would like to donate our babies stem cells.
