Also I DON'T have a car right now to go home :/....help please

uhmm, i know in CA they have breast feeding laws where not only do they have to provide you a safe, clean, private area to pump, but they MUST give you TIME to pump. look into this for your state.

We didn't have any private areas at my work and my coworker used the bathroom. It's your time and your break use it however you need to!

Tomorrow is Thursday so call and speak to your boss. Because a public bathroom isn't private. Well I don't think that it is because people can hear and it's not always sanitary.

I'm talking about while at work to help.with the pain of having full breast...at my job we have NO private areas

[mommyofaria]

I go to work at 7am

Same laws apply in Wisconsin, even the malls in my area have pumping rooms

[Marshallsmomny]

By law at least in CA they have to provide you a private space and time for you to pump and not you can sew them. Look into the rights you have and go from there.  Or go in the day before and talk to your boss

If you don't want your milk supply to lower, I would suggest using the bathroom, or doing it right before and right after work

I don't work but can't you pump before u leave for work and keep it in the fridge? It fresh for 4-5 days in the fridge so label with dates and stock up maybe!
