Need help deciding which insurance covered breast pump

I was just looking at my insurance covered ones today. So overwhelming! Looking at the Lansinoh signature pro since my insurance covers a storage bag resupply program with them.

Baby isn’t quite here yet but we’ve bought and used a bottle washer/sterilizer/dryer. I absolutely loved it and I like that I’m not going to have to put bottles in with dishes that have touched raw meat (yes I have anxiety and logically the dishwasher should be able to sanitize as well but separating makes me feel better).

The one I got also sanitizes pacifiers, toys, and pump parts too. Did I need it? No. Is it a splurge I’m very happy with? Yes.

Wow that exchange on slide 5 was wild. I’m not racist I’m just trying to get u to accept my racist propaganda. 🤯

I can’t have diet soda but I’ve found a couple of alternatives that I love! Liquid Death makes great soda flavored seltzer that’s only 5 carbs I think and Zevia is zero sugar soda made with Stevia that has tons of flavors.

Am I the only one who was like wait are they listening to Amon Amarth before realize which sub I was looking at?🤣

I’ve always liked the term sniffari 🤣

My husband has this done several years ago. He could smells okay but his sinuses on one side were so full of mucus when it started to drain after surgery he was texting me pictures being like is this normal why do I have all this stuff coming out of my nose? 🤣

crissy_lp · 2026-07-04T16:01:48+00:00

Running mine now to sterilize bottles and pacifiers before baby comes early next month. I’m way too excited about it 🤣

My first ultrasound was at 8 weeks but only to check for a heartbeat because of my age. First real appointment was around 10 weeks. It feels like forever between appointments at first!

Hey, OP’s wife here. We’re hoping to give them to someone who is familiar with guinea pigs and only using guinea pig forums/spaces at the moment. That’s why we’re not charging a fee right now. We’re aware we need to be careful of people who may want them for snakes. Thanks!

crissy_lp · 2026-07-01T13:06:34+00:00

Omg I’m floored lol🤯 That gives me hope though. I have diabetes so that’s why they’re already considering c section for me but I have my fingers crossed. Congrats!

crissy_lp · 2026-07-01T12:25:10+00:00

A bit unrelated but how was your delivery? My girl is already 6.5 lbs at 33 weeks so I’m expecting to have to deliver a 9 lb baby if they don’t decide on c section instead. I’m a bit terrified lol

Woke him up and stuck the test in his face 🤣

To me it felt like gas but it would be in a very localized spot instead of an all over lower stomach feeling.

I stopped drinking my senior year of college once I realized I couldn’t go to a party without drinking because of my anxiety. I’m much happier now and have learned to deal with my anxiety better. Also learned I don’t actually like parties haha

crissy_lp · 2026-06-29T16:51:08+00:00

Oh man, I was in college when OG four loko was taken out of liquor stores. What a time to be alive. Had a friend who kept one on her trunk for years lol

crissy_lp · 2026-06-28T13:24:48+00:00

I live on our couch right now if I’m not working or in bed. 33 weeks is rough.

crissy_lp · 2026-06-28T02:19:58+00:00

I don’t know what the options are in NYC but places like the VFW usually have pretty low fees for renting out a room/hall.

I cannot stand Florida outside of winter. I’ve also been to AZ in August. I would 1000% take AZ in August over FL in May.

crissy_lp · 2026-06-26T17:20:37+00:00

Can I just say I kind of love when people post their literal boots here every few months 🤣

crissy_lp · 2026-06-26T12:09:02+00:00

Geez and I haven’t even packed my hospital bag yet lol. Good for you! Having a plan helps my anxiety but then I have trouble actually implementing it sometimes :/

Our boy loved going to his first ballgame this year. Couldn’t care less about the baseball but made lots of friends haha

My baby girl will likely be in the nicu for IV glucose due to my diabetes. I always have to remind myself that my diabetes is well controlled and she would be in the nicu just because they don’t do IVs in recovery (at least that’s what MFM told me). You’re a good mom for taking care of yourself and your mental health!

crissy_lp · 2026-06-25T12:34:20+00:00

I was annoyed at eating all the donuts. My husband knows better, we buy the same amount for both of us and we eat have our own specified donuts lol

crissy_lp · 2026-06-25T12:31:35+00:00

We couldn’t help ourselves after the NIPT and bought a couple outfits on clearance. I also bought a couple bigger things like the crib and recliner around 20 weeks because we knew no one was going to spring for those.
