If you are expecting a baby have you thought about donating the cord rather than throwing it away?

This has popped up on my FB newsfeed and I wondered if any of the pregnant ladies on here had thought about donating their umbilical cord to ANTHONY NOLAN to help other children that can be helped with the bone marrow

There are more details on the photo or do a Google search for ANTHONY NOLAN if you think you can help them

I think it would be a lovely thing to do with something that is just thrown away otherwise, don't you?

I gave birth in one of those hospitals 6 weeks ago and we donated ds's cord/placenta. It was a pleasure to be able to do it, was made up that we could.
