How to Handle Awkwardness When Pumping at Work?

Everyone at work makes me feel so awkward when I have to pump. Singing songs and making jokes seems kinda inappropriate .. And having to ask makes me even more uncomfortable - I'm not only a mother but I'm an adult, I shouldn't have to ask if I can pump milk for my daughter.

Go higher up! You should never feel uncomfortable in the workplace - especially with something that pertains to your health!

It's even my managers doing it so I feel like I can't talk to them about it @js mith814

Singing songs and making jokes about you needing to pump is sexual harassment. Maybe talk to them first and if they don't knock it off talk to HR?

Sorry you have to go through that. People need to grow up. What you're doing is amazing. Don't let them get to you.

Trying to get a breast pump through my insurance feels about impossible 😣 United health care is awful. I have a prescription for a pump, but they're seriously making me jump through hoops. My insurance will cover a non medical gender test no questions asked, but try and order a pump to feed my kid, and they act like I'm asking for $10,000!! I'm determined to get this pump for free. If not, guess we will have no choice but to buy one 😡

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.
