breast pumps?

I'm a FTM, so this will be more for experienced moms. I found out the brands that are covered by my insurance. Medela seems to be the most popular. I plan on going back to work after 1 month (or possibly sooner). My choices are:
1. Ameda purely yours ultra personal double breast pump
2. Medela pump in style advanced (double pumping)
3. Freemie freedom standard set with concealable cups
4. Hygeia Q breast pump (single and double pumping allowed)

Any advice, pros and cons will help. The Freemie sound nice, especially for work (if they are quiet??)

But call your insurance. Some I guess allow you to buy them and send you money (after you send receipt). Others send a voucher for them. Mine requires me to get it from medical supplier (like Byram or edgewater). Also, some require like 2 weeks before birth, 1 month or some even after the baby's born. All require a doctors script.

The brand depends on insurance, or in my case what the medical supply people offer. As stated, edgewater offered less choices. I just want to know what brand so I can register for extra parts/bottles.

It's actually the law now! There are some situations that dont.

Google Byram breast pumps. Hit "order form" and pick insurance you have and you'll get a list of one's covered. Edge park so has them too, though for me, they offered less choices.

The ameda works just about the same as the medela does.... And I've used both. I can say that I prefer the medela just for the fact that it's a known name, but my insurance didn't cover it so I had to get the ameda. Hope that helps
