Special Interview “Sahawat Family

K. Bua and her changed lifestyle

My lifestyle changed after I got married and began my loving marriage with P. Chang. I usually spend most of my time outside working, but after I got pregnancy and with the H1N1 outbreak incident, I stayed mostly indoors. During my pregnancy I would exercise on the daily basis and would walk for 3-4 hours per day, making my labor easier. My doctor said that my pregnancy conditions were excellent. Currently, I still continue to exercise.

K. Chang as a businessman and a new father

Since P. Chang is a businessman he has to spend lots of time at work, but he would still arrange time for us; he would often play with Matt before work and hurry back home after work, and would also take us out for meals and plan family trips and activities.

Baby Matt, born with love

Matt is now 9 months old, I insisted on breast feeding for 9 months before changing to Powdered Baby Formula, he can now chew on some food. He is good natured and everyone in the family likes to take care of him. He would often play with his cousin, who was coincidently born on the same day as him. We haven’t made our final decision in Matt’s schooling yet, but we’ll probably let him go to a nursery school first. What he wants to become will depends on him in the future.

The happiness of a mother

Actually, I also want to have a daughter, but probably in the future because taking care of Matt is pretty tiring already, also probably because this is my first child. I’ve read lots of books and listened to advices from others. I would like to suggest all mothers to let their children develop naturally by themselves. Being a mom, I don’t have any days off, but I feel happiness when I take care of him and watch him grow.

Stem cells, an important lifetime decision

Before making our decision, we read a lot of information including medical journals, magazine and from the internet. We saw that the potentials of stem cells and that it could be used to treat a lot of disease in the future. Most importantly, our family chose to keep the stem cells in the BioArchive system, the stem cells will be preserved under -196oC providing quality and secure storage, and the system will prevent TWE (Transient Warming Effect) that will cause damages in the stem cell viability.

Public Bank beneficial to family

The advantage of having a Public Bank supporting is that if one day the family needs Matt’s stem cells and it cannot be matched, we can also search for alternative sources from the Public Bank.

Trusted by the Sahawat family

Initially P. Chang did not know that his brother, K. Sittiwat Sahawat, also chose HealthBaby for storing their baby’s stem cells, because we discussed it after our decisions and his wife gave birth at different hospitals as me; we valued the same qualities while there were many companies that approached us. In the end we chose HealthBaby because apart from having a quality storage system that differentiates itself from their competitor they also have a Public Bank where HLA Matching can be performed.
