I like having two so I can have one at home and one at work.

I plan on getting a new one so I can leave one at work and one at home. So all I have to lug back and forth is the bottles/milk. travellingbee on "If your insurance paid for a breast pump, did you recieve another for subsequent pregnancies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-insurance-paid-for-a-breast-pump-did-you-recieve-another-for-subsequent-pregnancies#post-2418109 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:02:02 +0000 travellingbee 2418109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @dc yoga bee: Interesting. Mine sent me an ameda and a Pisa and I actually have been pumping well with the Ameda. travellingbee on "If your insurance paid for a breast pump, did you recieve another for subsequent pregnancies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-insurance-paid-for-a-breast-pump-did-you-recieve-another-for-subsequent-pregnancies#post-2418108 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:00:54 +0000 travellingbee 2418108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They actually sent me two for this pregnancy. dc yoga bee on "If your insurance paid for a breast pump, did you recieve another for subsequent pregnancies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-insurance-paid-for-a-breast-pump-did-you-recieve-another-for-subsequent-pregnancies#post-2418084 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 08:50:12 +0000 dc yoga bee 2418084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Insurance told me I can get a new one every year, no questions asked or documentation required. They only offered the Ameda Purely Yours, which sucked. Well, actually it didn't suck that well. I purchased the Ameda PISA, and will just buy new tubing and accessories for any subsequent children. hellobeeboston on "If your insurance paid for a breast pump, did you recieve another for subsequent pregnancies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-insurance-paid-for-a-breast-pump-did-you-recieve-another-for-subsequent-pregnancies#post-2417999 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 07:04:25 +0000 hellobeeboston 2417999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I had new insurance for baby 2 that paid for a pump so I got another one (paid for first, ins didn't cover), but like having two just in case. I leave an extra one in my office. catomd00 on "If your insurance paid for a breast pump, did you recieve another for subsequent pregnancies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-insurance-paid-for-a-breast-pump-did-you-recieve-another-for-subsequent-pregnancies#post-2417992 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 06:41:16 +0000 catomd00 2417992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @ElbieKay: @Foodnerd81: oh gotcha, thanks!! 2littlepumpkins on "If your insurance paid for a breast pump, did you recieve another for subsequent pregnancies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-insurance-paid-for-a-breast-pump-did-you-recieve-another-for-subsequent-pregnancies#post-2417974 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 04:52:48 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2417974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @jh524: I'm eligible for one for any pregnancy. I didn't get one for this baby even though I pumped for awhile because I never planned to pump long term and by the time I made a final decision not to bf and to pump short term I needed it sooner than insurance could get it. But if I ever have another I'll have my ducks in a row for insurance to pay for it.

So if yours had a letdown phase it wasn't the discontinued one.

And if all goes as planned, we won't have a 3 year gap. So I won't qualify for a new one.

When I had LO2, I ordered a new pump, but kept it sealed in the box. I ended up not needed it, so I donated it to a charity that helps at risk pregnant women. catomd00 on "If your insurance paid for a breast pump, did you recieve another for subsequent pregnancies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-insurance-paid-for-a-breast-pump-did-you-recieve-another-for-subsequent-pregnancies#post-2417883 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 22:15:52 +0000 catomd00 2417883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @ElbieKay: was it a Pisa?! I had the insurance Medela Pisa and it still works great! Used it 3-5x a day for a year! catomd00 on "If your insurance paid for a breast pump, did you recieve another for subsequent pregnancies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-insurance-paid-for-a-breast-pump-did-you-recieve-another-for-subsequent-pregnancies#post-2417880 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 22:14:42 +0000 catomd00 2417880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm getting a new one. Leaving the new one at work and will have the old one at home as a backup. Lugging the pump everyday sucked!

It was one of those Medelas that everyone says barely work. I'm pretty bitter about it. What a stupid law. What is the point of distributing crappy ineffective pumps? I got more milk from hand expressing. Last time I also had a long term loan of a hospital grade pump from my best friend. If I get pregnant again, I will definitely get another hospital grade pump somehow because it was the only thing that worked for me. Pumping is so hard and such a pain. I am definitely spending money if it will take the edge off the misery!!!

My plan does cover new breast pump parts every year, although I'm not sure what the parts entail. birdofafeather on "If your insurance paid for a breast pump, did you recieve another for subsequent pregnancies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-insurance-paid-for-a-breast-pump-did-you-recieve-another-for-subsequent-pregnancies#post-2417856 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 21:47:45 +0000 birdofafeather 2417856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i did with babies 2y10m apart, but i also had different insurance.

In getting a manual to supplement the double electric. But I don't pump very often. jh524 on "If your insurance paid for a breast pump, did you recieve another for subsequent pregnancies?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-insurance-paid-for-a-breast-pump-did-you-recieve-another-for-subsequent-pregnancies#post-2417823 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 21:10:57 +0000 jh524 2417823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I recieved a breast pump free through insurance for my first pregnancy. Wondering if I just use the same pump for baby #2 or get another one just because I can... What did you do?
