Well, they told her that the drugs she would be given would not cross the
placenta.....but in Hale they Pregnancy rating C (Carboplatin) and D(Taxol)
so I don't know why they told her that. Since she is getting a hysterectomy
at the birth, this is her last biological baby.

Any ideas if and when she can breastfeed after surgery? She will have an
epidural for the birth and then be put under for the rest of the surgery.
Seems like a lot of drugs. I would suggest donor milk (either banked or from
a friend) even though our hospitals here - even the children's hospital
"don't do that" but if not could the  baby survive on sugar water till mom
is awake enough to breastfeed? It may be several hours. I know they will be
getting pressure to feed the baby something.

thanks,
micky
