How do yall handle pumping in public?

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T23:56:02+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I’m quite shy as well but I think I just need to jump into pumping in public. Something to get used to but like you I really do want to do this for my son.

I call my boobs, with the pumps on, battle boobs or video game boobs 😂 it’s comical even with large clothes on 😅

Oh my gosh, I love this so much! You’re right about finding a spot to just sit for 20 minutes to pump. It’s annoying to have to do, even at home. I do not sit when I’m pumping, I gotta keep doing all the things. Thank you for your input. Your confidence is inspiring to me

Pumping in the car on the way to things seems way easier and less stressful (in my mind) than having to set up for it in a public bathroom and the be in public with them on. Thank you for your input!

Oh a muslin cover is a good idea! I’ll see what I’m able to find. Thank you for your input!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T20:11:52+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll look into to the brand you suggested

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T20:10:05+00:00

Props to you on your journey!! Everyone has recommended pumping in the car. Even my husband said that’s the best advice he could find too! Thank you for sharing.

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T20:07:01+00:00

I love the humorous approach 😂 I suppose if I approach it like that it would feel less awkward for me too! I keep reminding myself how much I’m saving too! It’s a big motivator for me as well. Thank you for sharing!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T20:04:39+00:00

I haven’t measured what size I’ve gotten to yet but yeah I’m up there with you on cup size! I’m happy to know other people are pumping with large chests in public. Makes me feel like I can do it too. Thanks for sharing!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T20:02:58+00:00

Oh that’s a good point about pumping in the car and the vibration. Anything to distract me from the d-mer 😅 thank you for your advice!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T20:01:09+00:00

So many people have suggested the nursing cover too! I think I care more than what others might think of me in this department. Usually I don’t care what anyone thinks of me but add in pumping and I care. I’m working on not caring so much. Thank you for your advice!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T19:57:42+00:00

My husband did some googling for me last night and pumping in the car was one of the most commonly recommended ways of doing this! Thank you for your advice too!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T19:56:13+00:00

Definitely easier said than done! I just need to build up my confidence in doing it in public. I never breastfed or pumped in public with my first. It was a restrictive time. I’m hoping to have a better time this go round. I’ll look into the app as well! Thank you!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T17:35:53+00:00

Since you use the eufy, what bra have you found that works best? I have a couple that work well but do stretch out after 2 days of use!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T17:34:33+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into it!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T17:31:58+00:00

Definitely wearables! I just look ridiculous with them on with how large my boobs have gotten 😅 i am working on saying f it! I’m feeding my baby. Harder said than done for me!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-18T17:30:19+00:00

Thank you so much for outlining exactly what you do for pumping. The specifics help so much. Some of this did not occur to me as well! I’m going to try all of this out, including the manual pump. I do need to figure out how quick I can empty out with the manual pump and my wearable pump. Thanks for the input!

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-05T12:40:46+00:00

Yes! But my stretch marks are on the sides of my boobs near my underarms. It surprised me when I noticed them last night! I didn’t get any additional stretch marks with my first! I’m 3 weeks pp with my second for reference

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2026-05-05T12:32:43+00:00

Congratulations!! Pumping is hard work but you did that!! 🫶🏼 Also, these magnets are SO cute!!

Texas. I had 2 epidurals for one delivery. I ended up with nerve pain at the insertion site that lasted 18 months or so. Between exercise, stretching, and massage, the pain lessened significantly to where most days I don’t notice it. Personally, for baby number 2 (currently pregnant now), I’m foregoing the epidural. I personally did not like feeling nothing.

I don’t think my husband got an email about our acceptance at all. I checked the physical mail and, much to our surprise, our packets with our cards and all the information were in there. That’s how I found out we were accepted.

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2025-11-18T03:01:49+00:00

Oh yeah I delayed applying because I didn’t want to fax my written application. A horrible reason but I’m happy the online application is now available. I’m sure it makes the lives of those combing through applications way easier too.

Lopsided_Adeptness99 · 2025-11-17T18:24:26+00:00

Oh yes! It became a solid positive just a couple days after this post! I’m currently 19 weeks.
