If you want to donate your child's cord blood then first of all find out whether the hospital is a cord blood donation participating hospital
. Then you can take aid from the concerned obstetrician about making arrangement for the donation. Generally by the 34th week of pregnancy you should check whether arrangements have been set between the hospital and a cord blood bank. A collection kit is sent by the cord blood bank which you can give to the concerned doctor for collecting the umbilical cord blood during delivery. At certain cases the cord blood banks directly work with the concerned hospital or doctor. If you are carrying the collection kit to the hospital make sure to pack it in the bag which you intend to carry to the delivery room.
