36 weeks pregnant & still haven't gotten my breast pump yet. Pretty nervous ! Hoping my insurance…

My insurance company wouldn't send it till the boys were born, so my mom called them for me to let them know they were here, and it was at my house by the time we got home from the hospital!

@twinmamma2015, really? :0 what insurance do you have if you don't mind me asking

Well I have United Health Care community plan (it's one that the state offers)

Many people suggest that you wait at least 6 weeks PP to pump, so that baby can regulate your supply and you don't get oversupply which increases the possibility of mastitis. If you decide to go that route, you'll have that much longer to get your pump! 😊 that's obviously your choice and your business, though. Just thought I'd throw that out there!

@amoureux, oh.. so I can just feed my baby direct boob for the first few weeks!?

Yep yep! I heavily suggest joining Expressions lactations group on Facebook. It is incredibly helpful, and they can tell you more about that and anything else breastfeeding related there. If you'd like a link to the group, let me know!

@amoureux, ooh I had no idea lol I thought breast pump was immediately used after you give birth! thank you! and yes sure (:

It's not uncommon to elect to pump immediately after, and I'm not bashing those who do by any means. For me personally, I'm gonna wait! https://www.facebook.com/groups/expressionslactation/ here ya go! This group is extraordinarily helpful!
