Is cord blood the mom or baby's blood?

Medically reviewed by

Cord blood is blood that comes from the umbilical cord. Cord blood stem cells are - as a result - a 100% match for the baby and it is a 50% match for the mother. However, the cord tissue and placenta stem cells can be used for the mother. Consequently, cord blood, tissue, and placenta banking are Anja Health's most popular products as it maximizes the stem cell count and variety that is collected at birth.

Sharing means caring

If you’re pregnant, you can freeze your umbilical cord and placenta stem cells to use for future disease treatment.
