It wasn't too bad. I used my nursing cover and had parked in a corner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-pump#post-1098001 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 13:26:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1098001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the parking lot is accessible, I would use that. I've done it and just sat in the back seat. </p> <p>However, I know some conferences, the parking lot can be a 15 minute walk away so I have had to pump in a bathroom stall before. I just make sure to get a handicap stall so I can have a sink to wash stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-pump#post-1097947 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 13:17:26 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1097947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted car, but I've been to dozens of different places for trainings and meetings while pumping. I always asked someone in charge for a place to pump and have been accommodated each time (some places were really nice!) I also have always just said, "Hey I need to pop out for 20 minutes at X time - will I miss anything super important? Is there a better time?" and no one has ever said I shouldn't take the break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-pump#post-1097790 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:51:27 +0000 yin 1097790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I preferred pumping in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-pump#post-1097773 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:48:18 +0000 yellowbird 1097773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car, definitely </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-pump#post-1097726 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:36:09 +0000 Mommytotwois 1097726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In your car. I actually like to pump in my car. I turn the AC on, and listen to music, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-pump#post-1097627 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:21:38 +0000 Adira 1097627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've pumped in my car before and it actually worked out pretty well for me! I think I'd find that more comfortable than pumping in a bathroom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-pump#post-1097591 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:14:27 +0000 dagret 1097591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the conference organizers might have a mother's room? I'm going to the PA Conference for Women next month and they do have a nursing room. </p> <p>If that doesn't work I'd pump in the car, like @Mrs Wagon says, with a sun screen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-pump#post-1097590 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:14:26 +0000 T-Mom 1097590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you call the convention Ctr and ask what facility they would recommend for lactating mothers? Maybe they have a small room you could use.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-pump#post-1097520 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 12:01:27 +0000 mrs. wagon 1097520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not super comfortable but I did ok pumping in the car. I used one of those windshield sun screens to make a little wall around myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-pump#post-1097487 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 11:56:01 +0000 purrpletulips 1097487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to attend an all day conference tomorrow and will only be able to pump once during the day at lunch (currently pumping 2x/day). I will be at a large convention center so there isn't an office I could use. Should I pump in the stall of a little used public bathroom (running on battery) or my car (in a parking garage running off cigarette lighter). What would you do? </p>
