My take is that the poor woman already knows that her babies and her
relationship with them are going to be subject to extensive public scrutiny
after their born, and she sensibly isn't going to participate in the
extension of that scrutiny into the antenatal period!

And really, how can she say now what she's going to do with any definiteness?
   The woman is an expert in being a governer, not in lactation or in
parenting, for that matter -- I'm sure she hopes to do best she can by those
babies, and she'll have to see how that plays out in real life, just like
everybody else.

Clearly she's been supportive of other people's breastfeeding, so I am here
to wish her good luck with her own.   Period.

to live their private life in the public eye.
