I'm really hoping we can get some curtains for my office, I have my own but they all have sliding glass doors to let natural light into the rest of the office. So hopefully I can just pump in here :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-238381 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:15:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 238381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I'm not sure on the laws, but I know there is some in place specifically about a room to be used for pumping momma's. I would discuss with HR about the room being used as a conference room when so many of you will need it for pumping, they should be able to reserve it full time for you ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-238254 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 13:08:03 +0000 regberadaisy 238254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: Nope, we're around 40? And do you mean a room exclusively for nursing/pumping or just having one period? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-238253 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 13:06:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 238253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your office have more than 75 employees? Isn't that the rule for having a nursing room, I would complain to HR especially since more people are going to be using it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-238236 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 12:51:39 +0000 brownie 238236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: sign it out for a phone call. That's what they are using it for. If you have it signed out, then you can kick them out and not feel bad about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-238156 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 12:13:54 +0000 regberadaisy 238156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: seriously, I thought about should I "sign out" the room for my pumping sessions? But then it would be SO obvious!</p> <p>@mediagirl: @highwire: You girls are so lucky! If I had my own room I would pump 3x a day.</p> <p>So I gave up and just pumped in the bathroom. Sigh, 3rd time this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-237980 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:59:27 +0000 mrsjazz 237980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a lactation room at my job, but you have to schedule your pumping sessions with HR! Eww, I don't want them knowing when I have to pump. Luckily we have an empty office in my suite and I use that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-237979 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:59:24 +0000 mediagirl 237979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boooo. That sucks! I guess I'm lucky I'm going back to an office,, I can't imagine having to go to a designated place each time to pump. </p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: smart idea! You're both doing the same thing so, who cares?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-237975 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:57:37 +0000 regberadaisy 237975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: ohmygosh??!?! At least you're friends?</p> <p>I'm going to be proactive about that and email my co-worker (we're also "friends") and mention in a friendly way what my pumping times are to coordinate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-237969 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:55:51 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 237969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:-( No good! I have that same problem here at work. There is one closet, I mean room, that 5 of us have to share. But we all work in different departments so there is no coordination. My friend just got back from maternity leave, so we're actually pumping together (awkward?) so that we don't have to fight for the space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-237964 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:54:48 +0000 DillonLion 237964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, what a pain!! I have my own office so thankfully I can just shut my door to pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-237963 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:54:46 +0000 autumnlove 237963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, that sucks! My pumping area was occupied yesterday so I pumped in my car with a hooter hider over my flanges. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-room-occupied#post-237955 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 10:53:06 +0000 regberadaisy 237955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh. The room designated as the pumping room at my work is also a alternative conference room. People are technically suppose to sign it out when they need it but of course they don't. Earlier this week I had to pump twice in the bathroom because people were in there using the phone. It is for work purposes but really, why can't you use the phone at your desk?<br /> Or if I knew you were going to be in there I'll alter my schedule to pump earlier.</p> <p>Anddd one co-worker just went on maternity leave. Another is 10 weeks pregnant. So in a few months along with it being a conference room we will have to coordinate THREE pumping schedules. </p> <p>Since I started first does that mean I don't have to alter my timing??? hehe </p>
