Pregnancy Week 24


At 24 weeks pregnant, it is appropriate to make a decision regarding cord blood banking. However, before getting into the intricacies of the cord blood banking, let's have a note on how you feel and the how the baby is progressing in the twenty-fourth week of pregnancy.

The uterus will now be about an inch and a half above the belly button. The baby is in full spirits to make sure that you, even for a single minute, cannot ignore his existence inside of you. And the best way chosen by the little one is by practicing kicks and jumps and flips and flops inside your womb. The baby has gained about a quarter of a pound in weight and is almost developed by now. The child's skin is red in color and the bones are solidifying. He is getting prepared for breathing and is all set to charm you with monstrous yet cute acts.

A few expectant mothers might have encountered headaches during the first trimester of pregnancy. The issue should now have subsided. Don't be relaxed, another concern, namely, swellings in ankles and feet, will soon begin to bother you. Technically known as edema, swelling is a result of changes in blood chemistry and the excessive pressure exerted by the expanding uterus on blood veins. Drinking fluids is again the only suggestion to aid this problem. A simple yet important pregnancy tip therefore is, make huge posters with water written all over them and hang them in very corner of your house or office. Do whatever you must do to remind yourself to drink lots and lots of water during every day of pregnancy.
About Cord Blood Preservation

Cord blood banking is a technique wherein the excess blood present in mother's body after birth is collected and stored frozen for future medical use. Cord blood is a rich source of stem cells. It is also referred to as stem cell cord blood and can be used to treat a host of diseases. The process is completely safe. This cord blood preservation process takes just about 10 minutes. The blood can either be donated for public use or can be stored for your own personal use at a later date. Personal storage usually costs a nominal fee. It is a completely voluntary decision and talking with experts in greater detail can help you make up your mind with regards to cord blood banking.
