I think in your situation, I would find out what your options are from the insurance, but hold off on actually getting it until after this LO is born. On one hand, you are paying for it already with your insurance premiums so you shouldn't feel guilty about getting it for "free" but on the other, it's just wasteful if you never get to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bother-trying-to-get-a-free-pump#post-913816 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 17:57:11 +0000 heffalump 913816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure my insurance will give me a pump for free. But I'm not sure if I should bother.....</p> <p>When I had LO breastfeeding didn't work out for us. First of all my milk didn't come in for awhile, and the pain was too much, and I had to supplement and she got used to the bottle and not the boob, and then when I got her back on the boob my migraines came back and so I ended up having to take meds anyway that wouldn't be safe. I did rent a pump from the hospital that I used for a little bit, but not for long. </p> <p>I'm just not sure if I want to waste their money if I'm only going to use the pump for a few days, if that. There's always the chance that my migraines will stay away after birth.... but I'm not counting on that. </p>
