Didn't realise pumping would be such a Pain!
I pumped for 3 weeks while DD was in hospital so doing it is not a big
deal. And I work in an office, normal office hours with a door which locks and a kitchen w/sink to wash things, so surely it should be no problem. AND, I work for the health dept which is pushing a big BF awareness campaign at the moment and my boss is on the national committee for BF awareness (or somesuch). What I forgot about - MEETINGS! And because my office is separate from the main office, often those meetings require driving. Sometimes they're scheduled back to back all day.... Finding the time to pump, or pumping on any sort of regular schedule is a PITA! Just when my supply was starting to regulate and I wasn't leaking so much except for the 1-2 mins before DD starts getting hungry, it's going to get all wonky. I'm just going to have to pump when I have time....and get a car adaptor. |

I also have a car adapter for when I'm traveling. It is a PITA and forget about a break or lunch with co-workers for the next 9 months. Socialization is one of the few pay-offs (well except for the check ,lol) for working out of the home and pumping does that one in :PPPPPP Ok, enough of my pity party. I hate pumping too ;-) -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |

I wouldn't pump while chatting with a bunch of co-workers or other strangers attending a workshop no matter how quiet the pump was ;-) I do NIP but I'm not up for PIP. I want a show of hands. Who PIP - pumps in public ;-D People probably hear me pump sometimes as the pump is kind of loud. I don't care about that but I do want a private place. I've also pumped in the car in parking lots and someone could have walked by but I've never sat down in the break room and hauled out the pump so I could chat. I wonder what people would do? -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |

Yeah, I have no qualms about whipping out my boob and flashing some nipple in most places, and have had many conversations whilst nursing, but no way would I pump in public! it's bad enough everyone can hear it outside my office and then sees me carrying my milk bottles down the hall. I don't know why that part seems weird, it just does! Nikki - what pump do you have? I have the Ameda Purely Yours and while I like it, it seems to be getting louder and louder each day. It didn't seem so loud on day 1! |

I was thinking a WW, since it's battery operated and should be easier to at least find a place that way, if not actually pump during commutes. And I've pumped at the nation's largest gaming convention in a room with eight guys ranging from the 60 year old grandfather to the 19 year old that had never changed a diaper. Jess |

Who PIP - pumps in public ;-D I did. Plenty of times. Family gatherings, work, an airplane, various other places while travelling. Nothing was flashed at any point. A handsfree bra and a big shirt takes care of that. EPing wouldn't have lasted long if I'd have had to sequester myself away from people and work for 30 minutes every three hours or so.

Not me, not even in front of my family, only my dp. I hated it with a passion but did it as long as I could. I couldn't keep up when ds started nursery so gave up completely. Having said that there was no reason for me to pump in front of anyone. I like to think if I was EP'ing my view would have been different, but who can tell *shrug*. Jeni |

I hadn't thought of that. That would be a bonus. And I've pumped at the nation's largest gaming convention in a room with eight guys ranging from the 60 year old grandfather to the 19 year old that had never changed a diaper. Wow - good for you! I don't think it is a bad thing, just not something I would do :-) -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |

Lara EPed for 14.5 months Another one! No, I don't think you'd have to flash people either, nor would I think it would be a big hairy deal if you did. It isn't something that grosses me out or seems immodest or anything. I dunno - just not something I'd do. Probably because I've never had to. You EP'rs have all my admiration. You are all really committed and deserve lots of props. I can see why PIP would be needed. If I can't pump I just wait longer and hope I don't leak. ;-) That clearly isn't an option for everyone. -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |
