Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the baby gang. I am your host, Becca Tobin. And thank you to our presenting sponsor, BetterHelp. I am really excited for this episode. I had a wonderful conversation, informative conversation with Dr. Amanda Horton. I have followed her for a long time on Instagram. She just does

this incredible job of really breaking down pregnancy screenings. She's a maternal fetal

And some surrogates, they don't pump at all. So it's very case by case, but she's provide,

she's a big, what is it, producer, big producer. And she wanted to continue on pumping, but our friends left the country and they're moving. So there was no way to get this breast milk to them.
