In front of a bar entrance. With people standing right outside smoking. And a street lamp was right above me, so I was clearly visible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-awkward-place-youve-pumped#post-906996 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 20:08:34 +0000 IcebergMom 906996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Airport restrooms, mall restrooms, car, nothing too crazy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-awkward-place-youve-pumped#post-906870 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 18:46:23 +0000 tequiero21 906870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Went to a wedding and didn't have a place to pump, so went to the car. Well, I forgot the batteries, so my hubby hand squeezed a few ounces. Yup. Never thought my hubby would ever agree but I guess u gotta do what u gotta do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-awkward-place-youve-pumped#post-906859 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 18:19:29 +0000 mrsbookworm 906859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't pumped anywhere awkward yet, but my DH came home from work yesterday and said he saw a woman pumping while driving with two kids in the backseat while he was on his way to work. He takes a bus, so he looked down and saw her. He was amazed she was that coordinated. So was I, since I'm a spaz - apparently a lot of you are pretty dexterous too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-awkward-place-youve-pumped#post-906844 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 17:59:32 +0000 rrachael 906844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the backseat of the car while dh and fil were in the front. I had a cover on and they had no idea! Oh, and also my classroom while another teacher was in there talking to me. She did know, but she couldn't see me and she's a mom of four so neither of us cared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-awkward-place-youve-pumped#post-906305 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 08:31:52 +0000 Smurfette 906305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump in a storage closet at work. Easier and faster then walking to the mothers room provided on the other side of the building. But this week it was weird cause they ordered lunch for everyone and they were all making their plates as I am in the room pumping and then they all saw me walk out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-awkward-place-youve-pumped#post-906254 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 07:38:07 +0000 mamabolt 906254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at a conference for work, and had arranged that I could use the medical room at the conference center to pump. But right before I was about to leave for the airport I went in there and there were a ton of people because a staff member was having irregular heartbeat. So I was pumping in the corner behind a small screen while like six people were in and out of the room because I had to pump before going to the airport! And then I got to the airport and my flight was delayed three hours so I had to pump in the family restroom. Most awkward pumping day ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-awkward-place-youve-pumped#post-906167 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 05:13:07 +0000 cmomma17 906167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: LOL.

Well, I have a new sports car and I didn't realize that there was a car show going on until someone started walking up to look at my car. I drove off and pumped around the corner from the car show. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-awkward-place-youve-pumped#post-904970 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:08:35 +0000 mrsjazz 904970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bathroom of a small women's non-profit...while 35 women and girls were outside and only had access to one other bathroom while I was pumping.

It's almost completely dark because LO is also in the bedroom, napping in his swing.<br /> DH and my step kids are in the living room. I usually pump at the dining room table when it is just DH and I. Our living area is very open so living room, dining room and kitchen are all one big space.</p> <p>Most awkward place you've pumped? </p>
