@osw I used a Medea pump in style with DD. It worked fine. I chose the Spectra this time because lots of mom's in the lactation FB group I'm in recommended it.
What is the Cadillac of breast pumps? How do I pick? Do I pick the most expensive one?
Hospital grade pumps are more expensive and sometimes recommended for situations like EPing, getting supply up, or twins. My insurance didn't give me a choice but the ameda purely yours (a not particularly beloved non hospital grade pump) worked fine to get my supply up (power pumping works)! And using the right flange size, replacing membranes, etc. is at least as important as the make and model of the pump.
I had the Medela too. Can't say I was exactly pumping in style, but it worked! I might get a different one this go around since my medela seems fine still.

onesweetworld, I asked for recommendations from my BMB for DD when my BFF was ordering hers a month ago and most recommended the Medela Pump in Style Advanced. If my insurance will let me get a new one this time, that's what I'll be getting because they seem to have the most available parts since it's such a popular pump.

Hi all! I've been out on vacation for a while and was drowning when I came back to work, feel bad about being MIA! Went to the OB yesterday and everything looked good. They're going to have me call to schedule my appointments all the way through 36 weeks today, feels crazy!
Have any of you ladies not received your insurance cards yet? I don't have my new one yet and I had to go to the OB yesterday, I'm worried that I'll get denied since I changed my coverage a little bit for this year.
ThankfulSnail as long as I don't change who is covered or my provider (we have multiple we can choose from), I don't get new cards. I still use my cards from 2015...

DH stop making everything a production. I was going to IHOP in my pajamas to pick up food. And then he decided he wanted eggs bene so I'm in real clothes going to a restaurant. Blurghhhhh
Snowy day here. Yesterday I had a huge work thing, and I'm so happy to be able to relax today. Well, as much as possible with a grouchy two year old.
My due date is 3 months from tomorrow. I feel like we have so much to do, namely buying a car. We've been carless since we moved here in 2009, so it feels scary!
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. ThankfulSnail, that would make me super grouchy.
