How to preserve an umbilical cord
Talk with your doctor or midwife about preserving the cord.
At one of your check-up appointments, bring up the possibility of umbilical cord preservation and storage. Ask your doctor if they've had experience saving a cord before and if they have any tips.
Make sure to discuss what might happen differently during or after the delivery process. Some medical practitioners or hospitals may charge you extra for cord removal and temporary storage.
