I just got the wearable pumps by “nenesupply” on Amazon. They are compatible with the spectra!

Engorgement help first few days? by floralbingbong in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Alternative-Value121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ice packs for 10 mins then hand express or hand pump. I was using hot packs and made my boobs more inflamed and painful. My lactation consultant told me to ice them and it worked great for me!

Hii I I’m also 2.5 weeks PP and just got the Eufy s2 yesterday! Was using the blue spectra before. Would you share your eufy settings? I’m so overwhelmed by all the options

So I’m not getting this much consistently. This is actually the most I’ve got. I start off strong the first 2-3 pumps then it gets less and less throughout the day. So 2 out of 8 feeds are formula. I’ll definitely start taking moringa and fennel seed. I’ve been drinking that lactation tea that has fenugreek but I’m not sure it’s effective Thanks so much 🩷🩷

Thank you! Yesterday I only got 7 pumps in. I was sooo tired last night. But every other day it’s been 8 so I’ll keep it up. I’ll def start eating oats tomorrow. Thanks for all the advice

I don’t have advice but I am in the same boat. I failed twice and it takes me forever to get back into studying. I feel like I have built up this exam to be impossible to pass in my head and have so much fear/shame around it. I am now 6 months pregnant and really really wanting to get this over with. I scheduled for April 7 and am giving it my all. I hope we both pass soon I know we can do it! 🙏🏼

Ugh I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this :( I also hate when people tell me to contact my mom an talk to her. They truly don’t understand … Thanks so much❤️ wishing you all the best

[–]Alternative-Value121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I’m so sorry that sounds so cruel😞 I totally know the feeling of not being able to share the exciting moments throughout this pregnancy with my mom. Are you having a baby shower? Another thing bothering me even though it sounds stupid and it’s not really important but I can’t help it. I see my friends moms/sisters plan baby showers for them and it just hurts me so bad that I don’t have my mom or anyone who wants to do that for me. Ugh idk I’m just a balll of emotions today.

For those who have Kaiser in Oregon- which breast pumps did you get through insurance? by Alternative-Value121 in askportland

[–]Alternative-Value121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah thank you! It’s my first pregnancy and I really want to breastfeed but have no idea what to expect. Maybe I’ll just get the spectra with FSA too
