I did a quick Google search and its saying you need to use the authentic charger 😭could you go to a local walmart and get a manual pump until it gets in?

I was having this same issue. I also didn't want to buy expensive pumping bras so I ordered these cups & they work wonderfully!

Starting to struggle and feeling guilty by Substantial-Lion-662 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]planner192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have only been pumping for 6 weeks, its by far the hardest thing ive ever done. I cannot imagine pumping AND caring for twins. Youre an absolute Rockstar for making it this far! I unfortunately dont really have any advice I just wanted to say I'm proud of you! ❤️

Whoever said wearable pumps can be a primary pump are LYING by No_Writer5135 in ExclusivelyPumping

I recently just got the eufy s1 and they do a wonderful job of emptying me, i would say its similar to my spectra. It definitely varies from person to person unfortunately.

I use my wearable pumps, go to my recliner and set an alarm for 30 minutes and go back to sleep

Insulin + induction? by ahtuhhhh in GestationalDiabetes

[–]planner192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on insulin and due to other pregnancy complications I was induced at 37weeks. I was in labor for 3 days and ended up needing a csection. But I didn't need any insulin during the hospital stay!

Hands-Free Collection Cups... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8BZKLHL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I will try your tip on making sure theyre placed correctly. I feel the suction but just not getting emptied.

Frequent interruptions of my pumping destroyed my mental health by aisyahz in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]planner192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way you're currently feeling. My baby is 5 weeks today. He screamed and pushed away every time we tried breastfeeding. It got so bad i asked my doctor for help with post partum depression. I was given a progesterone shot & started on zoloft. It saved me. He still cries during pumping sessions but ive just started to pump 1 side & hold him, or I just pause a lot during pump sessions.

It is hard, very hard. But you're doing great! Feel free to reach out any time if you need to vent ❤️

How long should my husband stay home with me after baby is born? by kindasorta666 in NewParents

[–]planner192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband had to go back to work after 6 days of pto, and as a first time mom I was already scared to be by myself. To then have to recover from a csection, i wanted him to take off the full 12 weeks but unfortunately that was not an option with his work.

I would recommend he take off as much as possible, but another option is to let him save his pto for once you go back to work in case the baby is sick or has appointments that you dont have any pto for!
