Hello all,
 
For those in the know about this, it is true that women can be given chemo  
while they are pregnant ( blood-to-blood connection) but  that same baby  
would not be allowed to breastfeed after the induced premature birth? Perhaps 
 they are referring to the fact that a particular woman simply will not  
choose to terminate the pregnancy, but can "simply" choose not to allow her 
baby  to breastfeed? Is this a lack of respect for breastfeeding or does it 
have to do  with switching to or starting harsher meds as soon as the baby is  
delivered?  Are they conflating scenarios? Thoughts?

Peace,
Judy
