Before my maternity leave ended, I received my first ever jury duty notice. Normally, I'd be really excited about finally doing jury duty, but I'm breastfeeding and back at work when I was supposed to appear. I emailed the clerk and asked if they had accommodations for pumping/nursing mothers. Surprisingly, they don't. I was able to get out of it.

Yesterday, I got my notice again to appear. I'm still breastfeeding/pumping at work. I know that they don't have the means to support a pumping mom there. I'm scheduled to appear two days before my LO turns 6 months old, my original end date for breastfeeding. I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep pumping and breastfeeding after that. We've told our daycare that we'll consider other options after March 1st when he has his 6 month appointment.

I'm not sure what to do. Should I get milkies and try to collect milk for the day, though I've heard that you can be there until 4pm? Should I bow out again and wait awhile longer until April? Also, anyone know why some courts can't accommodate nursing/pumping moms? This bothers me for some reason as someone who works right near the downtown courts and works for a company that's supportive of pumping moms. Wouldn't they want you to do your civic duty with two pumping sessions during the wait?
