Just seen the ad for the 'future health' stem cell service at the top of the pregnancy topic page. Its something I've been thinking about vaguely; I asked about it when pg with ds (now 3.5), but was told 'we don't do that here' by the hospital. Now it seems you can get collection kits and sort it out yourself (though I don't know if the doctors or midwives would co-operate - I suppose they don't have to - must ask at antenatal visit to the hospital!)Its pricey thoug - about £1300. But then again, if it potentially saves your child from something then that is a small price to pay. I don't know. For all I know it doesn't even work! What do other people think? Has anyone done this?
